Sober Awkward

Victoria Vanstone

Booking Overview

This multiple-weekly sobriety and wellbeing interview show focuses on alcohol-free living, recovery, social pressures, anxiety, and the practical realities of changing one’s relationship with alcohol, with occasional expert and author guests. PR agencies could credibly pitch sobriety authors, addiction and mental-health professionals, counsellors, and founders of alcohol-free support platforms; booking difficulty is likely low because recent guests are accessible niche experts rather than highly prominent public figures.
