SUMMARY:Style Your Next Chapter: Dress for the Life You’re Building | BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator
DESCRIPTION:Style Your Next Chapter: Dress for the Life You’re Building | BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator\nWhat happens when your outside starts to match the person you’re becoming on the inside? In this Backstage with The Sober Curator conversation\, stylist and entrepreneur Tannya Bernadette\, Founder & CEO of The Closet Edit\, will explore how personal style can help you step into your next chapter with more confidence\, clarity\, and intention. \nFor many people\, sobriety comes with an identity shift. You’re no longer dressing for the life you’ve outgrown\, the roles you were performing\, or the version of yourself that was just trying to get through the day. You’re building something new. Tannya will share how style can become a tool for self-trust\, personal presence\, and showing up for the life you actually want. \nThis conversation is for anyone who is reinventing themselves\, stepping into bigger rooms\, or ready to align how they show up with where they’re headed next. \nThis event is FREE to BACKSTAGE Members \nNot a member yet? JOIN HERE \nAbout Tannya Bernadette \nTannya Bernadette is the Founder & CEO of The Closet Edit\, a Seattle-based luxury personal styling agency serving clients nationwide. With over 17 years in business\, she has helped ambitious men and women align their image with their next level—connecting the dots between who they are and who they are becoming. \nHer work and insights have been featured in Real Simple\, Buy Side from The Wall Street Journal\, Bustle\, Glossy\, KING 5\, Seattle Magazine\, and New Day Northwest. \nTannya is passionate about creating spaces where driven individuals feel empowered to lead boldly\, build intentionally\, and step into bigger rooms without shrinking who they are. \nThrough her work as a stylist and as host of The Make It You Podcast\, she champions a new narrative: that presence is a strategy\, that style is a form of communication\, and that how you show up is directly connected to the opportunities you attract. \nHer mission is to elevate people—not just in what they build\, but in how they show up while building it.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Cara Benson — An Armsfull of Birds | BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Cara Benson — An Armsfull of Birds | BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator\nCara Benson did not come to love the easy way. She crawled through New York City subway tunnels as a heroin addict\, partnered with an abusive man\, and waitressed in a polyester uniform at Friendly’s while sobriety closed in on her one stubborn night at a time. Then she got sober. Started walking the woods of upstate New York. Met Jon\, the man who would become her great love. And after years of building a life with him\, she lost him to suicide. \nThis book is what came next. \nAn Armsfull of Birds: A Personal Field Guide to Love\, Loss\, and Commitment is structured like nothing else in the recovery memoir space. Each chapter is named for a bird\, and each bird carries a piece of Cara’s story. American Goldfinches mark the night she met Jon. Crested Caracaras score her last gasp of drinking. Common Starlings show up the moment she crashes into sobriety and into the woods. By the final chapters\, she’s grieving Jon and tracking grackles\, ravens\, and the ruby-throated hummingbirds that visit her former-church home in the Hudson Valley. \nIt’s a recovery story. It’s a love story. It’s a climate memoir. It’s the kind of book that gets endorsed by Jenny Lawson AND Bill McKibben\, which almost never happens. \nCara is joining BACKSTAGE for an intimate one-hour conversation. We’re going to talk about: \n\nThe decade-plus path from heroin and alcohol to a sober life she actually wanted\nMeeting Jon\, choosing commitment after addiction\, and what “second chance lovers” actually means at midlife\nSurviving her partner’s suicide while staying sober\nWhy she retreated into birding and nature as a way to process grief\nHow writing a memoir cracked her wide open and what it taught her about telling the truth\n\nBring your questions. Bring your coffee. Bring tissue. \nThis is a closed BACKSTAGE event. Members only. RSVP to receive your Zoom link via email. The replay will live in the BACKSTAGE Replay Vault for members who cannot attend live. \nNot a member yet? JOIN BACKSTAGE \nAbout Cara: Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, Orion\, Sierra Magazine\, Boston Review\, and Best American Poetry. An Armsfull of Birds is published by Health Communications\, Inc. and hits shelves May 19\, 2026. She lives in a former church on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans in upstate New York.

SUMMARY:Sober LEGO Night Show & Tell + Build with Tamar Routly and Alysse Bryson
DESCRIPTION:Sober LEGO Night Show & Tell + Build with Tamar Routly and Alysse Bryson\nListen. Sobriety did not give us less fun. It gave us better fun. And BACKSTAGE LEGO Night is exhibit A. \nOn Wednesday\, July 22\, from 6 to 7pm Pacific\, AB is teaming up with Tamar Routly to host the most chaotic\, joyful\, slightly competitive hour of the BACKSTAGE summer schedule. Think Zoom-meets-show-and-tell-meets-game-night\, but every prop is made of plastic bricks and every prize is also made of plastic bricks. Because of course it is. \nHere is the plan: \nShow and tell. Bring your prized LEGO build to the camera and tell us why it lives rent-free in your home. The Hogwarts Castle you spent three weekends on. The Millennium Falcon your kid built before they left for college. The Botanical Collection orchid you bought on a Tuesday because you needed a Tuesday win. We want to see it. \nWork in progress. Got a set you are currently building? Pull it out. Show us the chaos. Tell us where you are stuck. The collective wisdom of the BACKSTAGE Lounge will gladly judge your sorting system. \nLEGO Trivia. Tamar and AB are running a fast-paced trivia round on LEGO history\, weird sets\, and pop culture LEGO moments. Easy questions\, hard questions\, and at least one question that will have everyone googling under the table. \nPrizes. The prizes are LEGO sets. Obviously. We are not insulting your intelligence with a gift card. \nThis is BACKSTAGE at its best. Hands busy\, brain off\, surrounded by sober people who get it. No drinking. No pretending. No agenda except to actually enjoy a Wednesday night. \nThis is a closed BACKSTAGE event. Members only. RSVP to receive your Zoom link via email. The replay drops in the BACKSTAGE Replay Vault for anyone who can’t attend live. \nAbout your hosts: \n\nAlysse Bryson is the founder and editor in chief of The Sober Curator. She is also a known LEGO hoarder. Her sticker-covered laptop sits next to a growing LEGO collection that her dog Bella does not respect.\nTamar Routly is the founder of Podcast Impact Studio\, producer + co-host of The Sober Curator podcast\, and expert LEGO builder. If you have ever Zoomed with Tamar or watched her on the TSC (video) podcast\, then you’ve already seen part of her mega-LEGO collection.
