For the 189th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak shares two inspiring voices to kick off your Dry January journey—Tawny Lara, sober sexpert and author of Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze, and Keegan Winfield, co-host of the My Worst Date podcast.

First, we discuss Tawny's sobriety journey and why she decided to document it, sex with alcohol vs. sex without alcohol, the role liquid courage plays in our romantic lives, ideas for non-awkward sober dates, tips for dating someone who doesn't drink, and advice for anyone reevaluating their relationship with booze.

Next, Keegan opens up about her transformative 100-day break from drinking. She discusses how she resisted social pressures, the impact the experiment had on her life, and how it reshaped her relationship with alcohol for the better.

Whether you’re curious about life without alcohol, reconsidering how often you reach for a drink, or just looking for practical tips on navigating sobriety in your love life and beyond, this episode has you covered. You’ll leave with actionable inspiration to start the year fresh, focused, and empowered.
