Today’s Podcast Pour: Zero-Proof Listening
Hey sober squad—welcome to Recovery Podcastland 🎙️❤️ where curiosity is currency and your voice actually matters. This week’s Sober Sip drops a fresh episode of The Sober Curator Podcast with guest Niesha Davis, reminding us (loudly and lovingly) that you do not have to hit rock bottom to start asking better questions about your life. We’re also pulling back the curtain on the Sober Curator x Podcast Impact Studios collab, holding real space for folks who’ve been dreaming about launching a podcast but don’t want to burn out, blow the budget, or ghost their own idea by episode three. Plus, we’re spotlighting Leaving CrazyTown, a smart, compassionate podcast tackling codependency, mental health, and relationships without the fluff, and introducing the Sober Curator Rolodex—your new sober main street for discovering, supporting, and hiring alcohol-free businesses that actually get it. If you’ve got something to say (or something to build), this one’s for you.
Now let’s get to it…

SOBER CURATOR PODCAST
You Don’t Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Get Curious
“I didn’t know I wanted to write this.”- Niesha Davis
That’s how Niesha Davis describes the beginning of her journey with The Sober Curious Activity Book—and it’s exactly why her story resonates.
Sober curiosity doesn’t arrive with sirens or ultimatums. Sometimes it shows up as bloating. Anxiety. Bad sleep. A quiet sense that something’s off. For Niesha, those whispers were impossible to ignore. Her body was asking questions long before she had language for the answers.
In a culture that glorifies extremes—rock bottom or nothing—sober curiosity offers a third path. One rooted in noticing. Reflecting. Getting honest without making lifelong declarations.
What makes Niesha’s approach refreshing is its creativity. Journaling, drawing, tactile play—these aren’t distractions from healing; they’re gateways into it. Where alcohol once blurred discomfort, creativity now gives it shape. Color. Context.
LAST CALL FOR THE READERSHIP STUDY
Answer Questions. Win Stuff.
We’re always curating sober pop culture with you in mind. But let’s be honest: “with you in mind” only works if we actually know what you want more of. (And less of. And never again. And immediately, please.)
That’s why we created The Sober Curator 2026 Readership Study. It’s a quick survey that helps us understand what’s landing, what you’re craving, and how we can better serve this wildly smart, hilarious, resilient community we love so much. And yes…we made it worth your while. PRIZES!
THE SOBER CURATOR x PODCAST IMPACT STUDIOS COLLAB
Where recovery stories find their voice.
You’ve got ideas. Stories. Opinions. A perspective shaped by lived experience, recovery, and a deep understanding that the world needs more honest conversations. And yet, the podcast is still just an idea sitting in your Notes app.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
We are holding space for people who have been dreaming about launching their own podcast but don’t know where to begin or how to do it without burning out, overspending, or losing momentum halfway through episode three. LEARN MORE HERE.
