    Sober Curiosity with Emily Pope

    We’ve all been there: waking up on a Saturday morning hungover and thinking “I’m never drinking again!” Well, there are some who keep their promise and the shift has proven transformative. This week we’re chatting Sobriety with our friend Emily Pope, Co-founder of The Temper, a platform that explores life through the lens of sobriety, addiction, and recovery. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to hit rock bottom to decide that alcohol isn’t serving you. We discuss the growing Sober Curious Movement, Emily’s sobriety journey, how to support those who may be struggling with alcohol, and so much more. It’s an insightful chat and a great reminder that everyone’s journey is different.
