Sober Sex and Dating with Tawny Lara

Tawny Lara—aka The Sober Sexpert—joins Dr. Kate to talk all things sober sex, booze-free dating, and what it really means to show up fully present in your relationships. Tawny shares her own journey to sobriety and gets real about the emotional shifts, the unexpected gains, and the honest losses along the way. Together, they explore what intimacy looks like without alcohol, from creative date ideas to slowing things down in and out of the bedroom.

“You don’t need to hit rock bottom to rethink your drinking,” Tawny reminds us. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just reevaluating your habits, this episode is packed with raw insights, practical tools, and a lot of heart.

Tawny is the author of Dry Humping, co-host of the Recovery Rocks podcast, and writer of the weekly advice column Beyond Liquid Courage.
