The Sober Curator Podcast Producer, Co-Host Sober Curator Podcast + Sober Curator Contributor – Vancouver, B.C. CANADA
Founder of Podcast Impact Studio, Producer at WORKP2P
Tamar Routly (aka T-Boog) is a podcast producer, author, and unapologetic advocate for living out loud. As the Founder of Podcast Impact Studio, a Producer with WORKP2P, and co-host of The Sober Curator Podcast, she helps purpose-driven creators and brands tell stories that shift culture and spark community.
Sober for more than thirteen years, Tamar understands how stigma and shame try to keep people small — in sobriety and sexuality alike. For years, she lived inside the stories the world told about who she should be. Getting sober helped her reclaim her voice. Coming out allowed her to use it.
Today, Tamar lives openly and joyfully in Vancouver, BC, with her wife, Melodie, parenting their rad 9-year-old and cheering on two incredible young adults. She’s also the co-author of “Sobriety for Dummies” (with Lane Kennedy), empowering others to find recovery on their own terms.
Her mission is simple and fierce: Don’t let the world narrate your life. Take the mic. Tell your own story.
