When we get sober, many things come to light and we're faced with knowing ourselves fully for the first time. This includes getting more acquainted with our sexuality.

In this candid conversation, our podcast host, Dr. Tiffany Wynn,  speaks with  writer, podcast host, and "sober sexpert," Tawny Lara, about Tawny's journey to uncovering her bisexuality once she got sober. A self-described love and sex addict, Tawny describes her transformation from finding self-worth in relationships (prior to sobriety) to discovering and leaning into her true personality and sober dating. Tawny also describes how she remains a sober party girl who loves life and still enjoys attending events. She goes into detail on that topic in her first book Dry Humping,  which is set to be released this fall.
