Caroline brings ALL the feels to the dance floor. JOY, ENERGY & HIGH VIBES are her signature DJ package, all sealed up in a giant bow of playful FUN! Caroline is a master motivator who not only empowers women on the dance-floor, but leaves them feeling buzzed for days!
DJ Flourish found her passion for music back in the 90s. As an avid clubber and dance music fanatic, you would often find her on a club podium and in charge of the tunes at after-parties.
Fast forward 25 years, a career in events, 1 x husband, 1 x child & a cockapoo, she rekindled her love for music and the dance-floor by becoming a DJ in 2019. With her passion reignited she set about sharing her joy with the world so others can tap into the freedom that music & dance brings.
Over the past 3 years Caroline has injected JOY & MAGIC into female empowerment festivals, wellbeing events & at her own Self Love Raves. She has helped people to let go with, and without alcohol, and most of all, she has spread the word that your dance is not the same as anyone else’s – and that’s something to celebrate!

Welcome to episode four of season 9 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober! In today's episode, hosts Lisa and Alex sit down with Sober Coach, Alison Calder!
Alison lives in Manchester with her partner and two young children. She is an ex wine company owner and an ex grey area drinker.
After years of feeling trapped, unhappy and overwhelmed, she finally managed to walk away from her business and to stop drinking alcohol.
These two huge life changes were achieved little-by-little during weekly sessions of 1-1 coaching.
Being heard, expressing her fears, working out options and setting goals made the seemingly impossible, possible. Alison’s life has changed beyond recognition since doing these two things and she feels happier than she has ever felt.
Now as a fully qualified, doubly accredited life coach, specialising in Positive Psychology, Alison feels her purpose is to take you on a journey, from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Welcome to season 8 Episode 5 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Bee Sober Book Club ambassador and sober coach, Jane Sproston.
Jane is a 52 year-old Mum of a 7 year old pocket rocket and got sober in 2017 after five years of trying and a long stint “moderating”. Jane previously had a drinking career of some 30 plus years. She survived student days, raving, and the ladette culture only to find herself using alcohol to cope and numb after lots of complicated trauma.
Jane’s journey has been full of highs, lows, twists and turns, including a period spent in The Priory, AA, an attempt at moderation, relapse and recovery.
Jane is now a qualified person-centred therapist (a journey which took 9 years instead of the usual 4) and a qualified sober coach and also volunteers as a counsellor for a Well woman’s centre.
Jane talks about her road to recovery, and how finding Bee Sober and becoming the book club ambassador finally helped her to find the connections she’d been missing.
