The Sober Curator Goes B-A-N-A-N-A-S
PUBLISHER’S NOTE
It’s Wednesday. And if you were hoping for a sober podcast that whispers about withdrawal in hushed tones, you haven’t met The Sober Curator. In Episode 20, the crew donned banana costumes, sipped on slushies with comically oversized straws, and tackled the very unpeeled (pun heavily intended) realities of sharing sober lives online. In a world where one viral banana-chomping Instagram story can change your digital trajectory, it’s clear sobriety today is about much more than staying away from happy hour.

The Sober Curator Goes B-A-N-A-N-A-S
So, why get silly to talk about something as serious as recovery? As Dr. Sarah Michaud shared, “It is a balance… you can own and identify pain and tough times and still have fun and be light.” For many, humor and creativity are the ultimate tools for smashing stigma and showing that sober life is about presence, connection, and, yes, big laughs.
A recurring theme throughout the episode was the tricky relationship between sobriety, social media, and attention. The crew — Alysse, Tamar, Kate, Megan, Jason, and Dr. Sarah — opened up about the tension between creating authentic content and being swept up by likes, follows, and, sometimes, internet creeps.

Turning Pain Into Purpose: How One Nurse Coach Is Healing the Sister Wound
I’ll never forget the first time I met Sarah Morgando. We were two nurses, walking parallel paths. Both starting our coaching practices around the same time. Board-certified. Seasoned. And no strangers to holding space for the hard, messy, deeply human stuff. But what struck me immediately about Sarah wasn’t just her clinical knowledge or calm presence — it was the way she carried her story. Gracefully. Bravely. And with a kind of purpose that makes you sit up a little straighter and listen a little harder.
