I recently joined Stephen Kimball on his Sober Dad Crew podcast to talk about my journey from addiction to recovery—and how that path led me to create The Sober Curator, a digital space dedicated to curating all things sober pop culture.
In this episode, we dive deep into the messy, beautiful realities of early sobriety, the long road to self-acceptance, and the creative spark that comes from living life fully present. We also talk about why representation matters in recovery, and how building a platform where people can share their stories—without shame—has become one of the greatest privileges of my life.
On the Evolution of The Sober Curator
When I launched The Sober Curator, I wanted to create more than a blog. I envisioned a hub where recovery and creativity could coexist—where we could laugh, learn, and celebrate sobriety together. Today, it’s grown into a diverse and collaborative community featuring contributors from across the country who bring their own unique perspectives on sober living, mental health, and pop culture.
During my chat with Stephen, we explored how The Sober Curator continues to evolve—through partnerships, events, and projects that shine a light on how sobriety shows up in art, media, and everyday life. We also touched on the exciting shift happening among younger generations, who are redefining what social connection looks like without alcohol at the center of it all.
