Sober Curiosity, Social Expectations & Staying True to Yourself

This week on Only Human, Jess and Karli keep it light with an honest conversation about sober curiosity. It’s no secret—summer is often filled with social events, beach days, and plenty of drinks. While that can be fun, it can also bring up feelings of uncertainty, peer pressure, or simply the urge to pause and reflect.

Right now, both Jess and Karli are reevaluating their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, they share what got them to that point, what the journey looks like in real-time, and how they’re navigating an alcohol-centered world with a little more intention.

They talk about the mocktail they’re both loving, and share a laugh about a recent moment when they confidently ordered mocktails at the bar—proving that joy and connection don’t have to come with a drink in hand.

Even if you’re not personally sober curious, this episode offers something for everyone. It might just help you better understand the people in your life who are, and offer a reminder that choosing what feels right for you is always enough.
