In this episode, we welcome Tawny Lara, a journalist, author, and sobriety advocate, known by many as the 'sober sex expert.' Tawny shares her journey from writing op-eds in her teen years to exploring the nuanced landscape of sober sex and relationships. She dives deep into her experiences of being a public figure, the complexities of self-exploitation on social media, and the importance of setting boundaries. Highlighting her pivot from Instagram to more intimate newsletters, Tawny discusses the value of real-life connections and personal mental health. She also introduces her non-alcoholic spirit brand, Parentheses, and shares insights on how to establish oneself as an expert in a field without losing oneself in the process.
