🎧 Press Play on Your Midweek Motivation
Hey hey, it’s AB That’s ME — coming in hot with your weekly Sober Sip: Podcast Edition, where earbuds meet emotional unraveling (in the best way possible). If you’ve ever found yourself yelling “same!” at fictional sisters with secrets, or wondering why every glamorous Hamptons house hides a liquor cabinet full of lies… you’re in the right place.
This week, The Sober Curator Podcast Squad deep-dives into Amazon’s “The Better Sister” — breaking down sibling rivalry, generational trauma, recovery tropes, and yes, the truth behind those white dresses and white lies. PLUS, Tamar and I are back with THIS JUST IN, your no-BS breakdown of top trending sober headlines, events, and the occasional dose of controlled chaos.
Oh — and speaking of chaos — we may or may not have dropped a mega list of 37 binge-worthy recovery podcasts curated by our very own Ashley Sunderland. Because moderation is cute, but sometimes in sobriety, we still go all in (just in a healthier direction, TYVM).
So grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and tune in. This week’s lineup is messy, real and made just for you.
Keep it loud, proud, and sober out loud.
