When Sobriety Gets Messy (Literally): Cat Greenleaf Tells All
In this hilariously honest and deeply human conversation, Emmy-winning host Cat Greenleaf joins Alysse to spill all the sober tea—from peeing her pants during a double-booking with Tom Arnold and Art Alexakis, to discovering what sobriety actually looks like when you're no longer a “lone wolf.” Cat opens up about service, creativity, aging, friendship with Pee-wee Herman, crafting on cocaine, and the real emotional glow-up that happens when you stop pretending and start living. This episode is equal parts chaos, charm, confessions, and zero-proof realness.
Takeaways: Sobriety gets richer when you stop isolating and start connecting with people who speak your language.
Cat’s shift from “lone wolf” to community deepened her recovery—and her sanity.
Golden-age celebrity stories? Yes please. Especially ones involving Pee-wee Herman sending hourly birthday messages.
Creativity, addiction, and reinvention always have a wild intersection (including cocaine-fueled stenciling).
“Zero fucks given” remains a valid business plan—and a liberating way to live.

The BEST sober podcast!!
"If you’re sober, sober curious, or just looking for good vibes and an amazing community this is THEEEE podcast. Incredible host!!"
I’ve been waiting for TSC to come out with a podcast. TSC is an amazing resource for all things sober lifestyle and beyond! Can’t wait to listen.
After listening to the trailer, I am so excited to hear more!!!
Long time listener, first time caller, finally The Sober Curator brings everything together in one place, to truly remind me that nobody ever looked good drunk, and that being sober is actually so cool.
If this podcast is anything like the old Sunday social hosted on Instagram back in the pandemic days, it’s bound to be a good time. Can’t wait!
Puts a smile on your face the moment you click play ✨▶️✨.
I can’t wait on the first episode to drop! Refreshing, entertaining, and relatable! Bending and snapping my way to the next listen!
I am all about these conversations. Who knew I needed this level of wit, grit, sass, and serious inspiration. I’ve been a fan of Alysse’s for years and this is another way I can have her voice in my life.
Alysse and her team always deliver amazing and useful information with a flare for pop culture that makes every pill easy to swallow. This is a great place for sober tips and talk, but still fun and real in a way that sets it apart from the rest of the sober dribble drabble.
I met Alysse right as The Sober Curator was launched and she is THE BEST. I’m so excited that she’s launched a podcast and can’t wait to watch it grow!
What an amazing group of talented people speaking on recovery! Best new show!
I have to say, Alysse, when I think of her, her dedication to sobriety and her dedication to The Sober Curator. I just have to think of a Spitfire! This girl has more energy than a nuclear reactor and has a way of putting things that you just get it. She doesn’t beat around the bush and that’s my kind of person!
