This might just be the most fun I’ve had on the Get Lit(erate). Podcast!
Today, I’m chatting with Dupe Witherick of Thrive Alcohol Free. She is an alcohol free wellbeing and transformational coach, the author of A Cocktail of Clarity and host of the Thrive Alcohol Free podcast.
Today, we are mixing mocktails with books. Dupe shares her top three favorite mocktail recipes and I pair each with a perfectly-themed book to match it.
But this is not just a fun episode, it’s an incredibly important one. Taking time for yourself to read is an important form of self-care for your body, mind and soul. Adding just a few minutes of time to create a special drink to enhance the experience sends your heart a loud and clear signal: YOUR WELLBEING MATTERS.
Come listen as Dupe shares her journey to being alcohol free and together, we explore three delicious recipes and add three books to our TBR stack, too.
Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!

It was so nice to meet you! I wish Northshire had more of your books, but it sounded like you had a lovely day overall. I hope you’ll make the trip back!

I loved this episode! I’ve read Black Cake, but not the other two, so I immediately reserved them at the library. Can’t wait to read them with a mocktail or two!
