My mission is to spotlight sober voices that break stereotypes and defy our expectations of 'sober people.' We talk community, connection, and the power of our stories to help each other.
Imagine a podcast that not only shatters stereotypes about sobriety but also creates a vibrant community through storytelling and music. That's what Katie Mack, the creative force behind the award-winning F*cking Sober podcast, aims to achieve. In this episode of Recovery Rocks, co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara sit down with Mack to chat about the magic behind her groundbreaking series.
Mack's mission is clear: to spotlight sober voices that defy expectations and offer a fresh perspective on what it means to live alcohol-free. Her podcast, which won the 2021 Webby Award for Best Writing, dives into the first 90 days of sobriety with raw honesty and creative flair. But it's not just about Mack's journey. She brings in other sober creatives, weaving their stories into a rich tapestry that resonates with anyone on the path to recovery.
One standout feature of F*cking Sober is its use of soundscaping and music, which Mack describes as 'the coolest part of the journey'. She carefully curates tracks from sober musicians, creating an immersive experience that goes beyond typical podcast fare. This musical element adds depth and emotion, making each episode a unique auditory adventure. During their conversation, Smith, Lara, and Mack also touch on the importance of boundaries and self-care in the recovery community.
Mack is candid about the challenges she faces, from finding the right team to managing the emotional weight of her work. Yet, she remains passionate about her mission, believing that sharing our stories can break down stigmas and build stronger connections. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned advocate, this episode offers a blend of inspiration, practical advice, and heartfelt conversation.
Tune in to hear how Mack uses her platform to uplift others and why she believes in the transformative power of sober voices.
