In celebration of Sober October, I’m offering my interview with Sober Sexpert and host of the Recovery Rocks podcast, Tawny Lara. She’s also the author of Dry Humping: Dating, Relating and Hooking Up without the Booze, co-owner of the alcohol-free botanical drink brand (parentheses) and co-author of the forthcoming Sobriety card Deck.
You don’t have to define yourself as an alcoholic in order to take a dry month or examine your relationship with substances. There’s no need to wallow in shame to enjoy the benefits of a booze-free existence. In fact, you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why you’ve decided to stop pouring cellular toxins into your body.
I hope you enjoy our conversation about self-examination, social navigation and deepening connection through fully embodied intimacy.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more audio/video interviews with doctors, intimacy experts and other professionals whose work and viewpoints I find valuable. Please let me know if you enjoy this content.

I’ve been invited to give a presentation at the joint conference of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health and the International Society of Sexual Medicine. The topic is legal frameworks, human trafficking and equitable healthcare for sex-workers. My goal with this project is to give voice to millions of stigmatized and marginalized people around the world. I’ll share what I learn through interviews and articles as I prepare for this important talk.
