EP 45: Guest Episode – Georgie Bingham (The Midlife Funk Coach) | From TalkSport to Sober Coach – Burnout, Belonging & the Bravest Thing You'll Ever Do

About this episode

Georgie Bingham shares her journey from broadcaster to sober coach, discussing burnout, belonging, and the transformative power of sobriety.

Most people know Georgie Bingham as the voice they heard on Saturday mornings on TalkSport. What most people didn't know was what was happening behind the mic. In this episode, Rich and Andy sit down with broadcaster-turned-coach Georgie Bingham for one of the most honest, raw and genuinely moving conversations we've had on the pod. Georgie opens up about 25 years of early alarms, no weekends, and a career she slowly fell out of love with. About drinking alone in a house that never really felt like home. About a moment where she realised she was pretty much suicidal - and didn't even clock how serious that was at the time. And about how sobriety didn't just change her habits - it gave her back herself. We talk about: The "midlife funk" - and why it's not a crisis, it's a calling Why giving up alcohol is the bravest thing you'll ever do The toxic lad culture she navigated as the only female voice at TalkSport FOMO, loneliness, and what it means to finally stop being a sheep How coaching is helping people do in 5 months what took Georgie 5 years This one hit differently. Whether you're sober-curious, deep in your own midlife moment, or just need to hear someone be brilliantly…
