Tawny Lara: Navigating Sobriety and Sexuality with the Sober Sexpert

Taking a shot of tequila is so much easier than talking to a therapist about self-esteem.
Imagine growing up in the chaotic world of rock 'n' roll, where alcohol flows as freely as the music. For Tawny Lara, this was her reality. As the daughter of a rock star from the metal hair band Vicious Rumors, Tawny's early life was steeped in the music scene, shaping her views on alcohol and relationships.
In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen sits down with Tawny, also known as the Sober Sexpert, to talk about her unique journey to sobriety and how it has transformed her approach to sex, sexuality, and relationships. Beth and Tawny dive into the portrayal of alcohol in movies and TV shows, especially in relation to sex and dating.
They discuss the societal impact of popular media like HBO's 'Sex and the City' and how these representations influence our perceptions. Tawny opens up about embracing her identity as a bisexual woman in sobriety and relearning how to identify desires and pleasures without the haze of alcohol. The conversation takes a candid turn as Tawny shares insights from her upcoming book, 'Dry Humping: A Guide to Booze-Free Sex, Dating, and Relationships'.
She offers practical tips on navigating sober sexuality and emphasizes the importance of positive queer representation in media. Tawny's story is a powerful reminder that sobriety can lead to profound self-discovery and a deeper understanding of one's own desires and boundaries. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the intersection of sobriety and sexuality, or those looking for inspiration on living a more authentic life without alcohol.
With Beth's empathetic interviewing style and Tawny's honest storytelling, listeners are sure to find valuable insights and encouragement in their own journeys.
