In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel explores fear as one of the Root Chakra’s loudest messengers. Rather than treating fear as the enemy, this reflection invites readers to see it as information — a checkpoint that can reveal where we need grounding, stronger boundaries, deeper safety, and more compassionate self-trust in recovery.

Welcome to the ‘Spiritual Gangster’ wing of The Sober Curator, a haven for those on a sober journey with a twist of spiritual sass. Here, we invite you to plunge headfirst into a world of meditation, astrology, and spiritual reflection – all while keeping your feet (and sobriety) firmly on the ground.
Each month, our very own Analisa Six, better known as the Lady of Leosure, graces us with ‘The Sobercast with Six.’ It’s like horoscopes, but with less hocus-pocus and more sober reality checks for the coming month. And let’s not forget Daniel G Garza, or as we affectionately call him, ‘The Card Divo.’ He delivers snappy, under-a-minute weekly sober tarot card readings that’ll have you saying, “Hit me with another round…of cards!” Teresa Bergen shows us how to get bendy with mindful yoga practices, and Samantha Bushika teaches us everything we need to know about chakras, crystals, and all things woo-woo.
The newest stars of this spiritual show? That’s Derek Castleman, our resident ‘Sober Stoic.’ After finding enlightenment in the Serenity Prayer and its connection to the Steps, he realized stoicism wasn’t just about keeping a stiff upper lip – it was a roadmap for leading a fulfilling life, no matter the roll of the dice.
We also bring you the creator of The Wellspring: A Celtic Recovery Journey, Anne Marie, who blends the Celtic calendar with sobriety, connecting participants to ancient wisdom and nature’s rhythms.
SOBERCAST WITH SIX brings you astrology updates from our resident astrologer, tarot card reader, and Sober Curator Contributor Analisa Six.
THE CARD DIVO brings quick-hitting and intuitive horoscopes for sober people on the go. (Seriously, 1-minute once a week)
THE SOBER STOIC Sober Curator Contributor Derek Castleman is a writer, educator, scientist, data analyst, and philosopher. Struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism for over fifteen years while at the same time suffering from being bipolar, he was finally able to achieve recovery in 2018. From mental hospitals to rehab, county jail to sober living, 12 Step Programs would be his foundation, but he would eventually discover the path of Stoicism to be the key to his sobriety and sanity.

The Prove Them All Wrong Framework offers five pillars for building a new life in recovery: Sacred Pivot, Sovereign Identity, Ritual Over Routine, Witnessed Journey, and Righteous Burn. Rooted in purpose, identity, connection, and meaning, this approach invites you to turn doubt into fuel without letting it define your future.
In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel explores Career as more than a job title, résumé line, or ladder to climb. Through the lens of the Root Chakra, career becomes a grounded expression of purpose, identity, and spiritual alignment — especially in recovery, where rebuilding your foundation often means reclaiming your voice, direction, and sense of worth.
