Intentional AF: How One Hour a Week is Changing My Sobriety Game

If you’ve hung around The Sober Curator for a while, you know I’m all about building a life that feels good on the inside—not one you’re constantly trying to escape from. But here’s the deal: even after years of sobriety (almost 19 for me!), I still catch myself slipping into old patterns. Overcommitted. Overthinking. Overwhelmed by the too much toomuchness of life in 2025.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly why I started taking The Intentional Sidekick courses. And it’s why, three years later, I’m still showing up for them. Every week. One hour. Because this is the practice that’s helping me actually move the needle on things I spent years just talking about.

So… What Are These Courses?

The Intentional Course | Navigating the Unsolvable is the foundation of The Intentional Sidekick experience. It’s a three-part series that walks you through:

  1. Stories – How to own your truth, stop working transactionally, and start showing up in a way that aligns with who you really are.
  2. Relationships – How to navigate the people in your life with courage (not control), and finally stop the exhausting cycle of forcing things to work.
  3. Connections – How to take ownership of your next chapter and act with purpose instead of perfectionism. (Perfectionists, I’m looking at you… and also at me.)

Each session is an hour-long, interactive, gentle reflection space that helps you get clear on what actually matters. No hustle. No overwhelm. Just an invitation to slow down and think about what you’re thinking about.

Who’s It For?

Anyone in sobriety who wants to go deeper. Whether you’re newly sober or a seasoned vet like me, these courses help you find clarity in a noisy, fast-moving world. Professionals, parents, creatives, leaders—it works for anyone ready to show up and participate.

For me? It’s been a lifeline back to intentional living. I’ve been able to stop spinning my wheels on big ideas and finally take real, meaningful action. Things I talked about for years? I’m doing them now.

Why It’s a Perfect Fit for The Sober Curator Community

We’re all about curating lives we love here. And these courses are some of the best tools I’ve found to:

✅ Set and hold boundaries
✅ Build more meaningful relationships
✅ Find balance (even when life is messy)
✅ Get unstuck
✅ Let go of what’s not serving you
✅ Create a life that feels intentional AF

If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions—or caught yourself thinking is this it?—this is your sign. It’s not “it.” There’s so much more waiting for you on the other side of slowing down and getting intentional.

SIGN UP HERE – IT’S CURRENTLY FREE

The Details (AKA How to Join Me)

👉 Part 1: Stories – Every Tuesday starting April 1st | 11a-12p PT
👉 Part 2: Relationships – Every Wednesday starting April 2nd | 11a-12p PT
👉 Part 3: Connections – Every Thursday starting April 3rd | 11a-12p PT

Take them in order or bounce around. Come back as many times as you want—trust me, you’ll want to. ✨ Heads up! Right now, these courses are being offered for free. Yes, free! But I can’t promise they’ll stay that way forever. If you’ve been curious about leveling up your recovery game, now is the time to dive in.


Ready to Get Intentional AF?

You can SIGN UP HERE and join me in this practice. One hour a week. That’s all it takes to stop surviving and start thriving.

Because sobriety and recovery isn’t just about what you don’t do anymore, it’s about who you’re becoming.


classy problems logo

CLASSY PROBLEMS: A CLASSY PROBLEM is when we’ve been afforded the opportunity to figure out what to do. When faced with classy problems, it is more effective to focus on what NOT to do than trying to figure out what to do. In a word – restraint. Join us in exploring the distinction between what to do and what not to do in the pursuit of clarity. Sign up for the daily email to develop awareness and intention with the gift of our attention, direct to your inbox from Dan T Rogers. Here we go!


Sober Lifestyle

SOBER LIFESTYLE: Consider this your hub for all things sober-awesome. We’re on a mission to shatter the cliches around addiction, proving that sober is far from dull. This section brings you shopping, crafts, fashion, health & wellness, stories from our readers, sober poetry, and so much more. This includes our new advice column, ASK MRS (W)RIGHT.
