I Couldn't Pick My Son Up From School Because I'd Been Drinking | Hanna Beasley on Addiction, ADHD & Her Path to Sobriety

In this powerful episode of Her Kind of Brave, Hanna Beasley shares her deeply personal journey with alcohol addiction, sobriety, ADHD, and motherhood. As the founder of La Mac Beauty and a mum of two, Hanna opens up about the hidden reality of drinking to cope, the moment she realised alcohol had taken control, and the decision that changed her life forever.

Hanna discusses the link between ADHD and substance abuse, the role anxiety played in her drinking, the challenges of getting sober in a culture where alcohol is everywhere, and the tools that helped her rebuild her life. From meditation and movement to hypnotherapy and self-awareness, this conversation is a raw and honest look at recovery, resilience, and breaking generational cycles for the next generation.

Guest Bio: Hanna Beasley is the founder of Le Mac Eye Artistry on the Gold Coast, a devoted mother of two boys, and an advocate for living alcohol-free. After recognising that alcohol had become a coping mechanism for anxiety, stress, and undiagnosed ADHD, Hanna made the life-changing decision to get sober in March 2024.

Now approaching two years of sobriety, she openly shares her experiences to help others navigate addiction, recovery, mental health, and self-discovery. Through honesty, vulnerability, and a commitment to breaking generational cycles, Hanna is helping others realise that life on the other side of alcohol can be fuller, healthier, and more connected than they ever imagined.
