    The Sober S*xpert Tawny Lara's Takes on Booze-Free Dating + Dry Humping

    Before sobriety and dry months were trendy, Tawny Lara, also known as The Sober S*xpert, was searching for the answers about sober sex and dating. Although, there was one question that held her back from officially ditching the booze.  "How will I date, let alone have sex without liquid courage?” After Tawny wrote a hypothesis or two about her future with alcohol, she decided to bravely explore the uncharted territory of alcohol-free dating and intimacy...through a sober experiment. Spoiler alert! This sober experiment led her to being called The Sober S*xpert by Ruby Warrington, the woman who coined the term "Sober Curious", the author of Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, & Hooking Up Without the Booze (#1 in three categories on Amazon), writing a weekly advice column Beyond Liquid Courage about all things sober dating and relationships, a recovery advocate, award-winning podcast host and eight years sober.  I had the pleasure of learning about Tawny's sober journey and her book Dry Humping, a lighthearted and judgement-free roadmap on how to navigate the waters of sex and dating without relying on liquid courage.  The Sober S*xpert shares her TAYLOR'D TAKES on:  booze-free outside the box (and the bar) date ideas ways to find pleasure outside of the orgasm why it's essential to crush on yourself before flirting with other people how to have those awkward conversations around not drinking in a society where alcohol plays the lead role in socializing and romantic encounters her passion to break stigmas associated with both sobriety and sexuality edible alcohol-free aphrodisiacs to enhance your sex life how growth can happen, and in some cases needs to happen, INSIDE our comfort zone and so much more!  Follow Tawny Lara on Instagram @tawnymlara and check out her book Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, & Hooking Up Without the Booze Let Taylor know your TAKEaway from the episode by writing a review and rating the podcast!

    Israel Isaac's Take on Becoming the Person You Desire + Not Taking Advice From People You Don't Admire

    Israel Isaac shares his TAYLOR'D TAKES on:  his evolution becoming the person he desired  unifying lives he tried to keep separate until touching down in LA the reality TV phenomenon that continues to take over our social feeds - SCANDOVAL filming Vanderpump Rules and his relationships with castmates  not taking advice from people he doesn't admire  the origin behind the lyrics of his single Can I Be Me With You  uniforms at Schwartz & Sandy’s and being expressive through fashion inspiring others to accept themselves and be the person they desire  his powerful mantras like ‘friends over fans’ and ‘significance over success’, and so much more! Taylor met Israel a few months ago in LA and was immediately drawn to his larger than life personality, conviction and contagious laugh.  Let Taylor know your takeaway from the episode by writing a review and rating the podcast!  "When I touched down in LA, I was adamant about loving myself and help others see that they can also be themselves. Go all the way with becoming who you desire to be. Don’t let anyone shun you from being your most authentic self. I posted a picture of me in this blue dress and it blew up. And so that began the journey of me asking myself, ‘What’s it like being a Black queer Christian?’ These were lives I tried to keep separate. The more I accepted myself, the more the world accepted me. I want to inspire people and if people feel inspired by me, I feel like I’ve won.”  - Israel Isaac
