  • Sober is the new cool

    As someone over four years sober, I’ve listened to a lot of recovery content. Sober & Lit stands out for its warmth, honesty, and zero-judgment approach. Ruby and Susan make sobriety feel normal, doable, and even exciting, especially for women in midlife who are questioning their relationship with alcohol.

    This is the kind of podcast I’d confidently recommend to anyone who’s sober-curious or newly alcohol-free and needs to feel less alone.
