The Illusions That Alcohol Provides Us As Women, Featuring Laura Silverman & Sober Curator Megan Swan

Laura Silverman has been a booze-free babe since July of 2007. Founder of lifestyle blog The Sobriety Collective, wellness travel site Booze-Free in DC, and Zero Proof Nation, a growing community celebrating nonalcoholic beverages and the people who drink/create them, Laura is passionate about #thesoberlife. When not tasting delicious new booze-free bevs, she’s a karaoke rockstar, roller derby girl, nature lover, #mentalhealth advocate, and treasures spending time with her close friends and family.

“The only way out is through.”

The topics we touched on:

  1. How bullying in primary school really impacted her relationship with alcohol later in college. 
  2. What is her favorite thing about being sober for 14 years?
  3. Why she is a mental health advocate and passionate about sober beverages.
  4. Why we are jealous of GenZ and Millennials.
  5. Why a sober future is so exciting.
