Welcome back, WIFs! Today, we’re joined by our wonderful friend, creator, and fellow podcaster, TJ Booth, host of the Sober Gay Guy podcast. This cozy conversation is filled with honesty, vulnerability, resilience—and yes—a delicious mocktail.
We revisit one of the most important questions we asked TJ last time:
“When you’re thinking about quitting drinking, where should you start?”
TJ wasn’t thrilled with his original answer, so today he gives us a powerful do-over—one filled with clarity, compassion, and intention.
We also dive into TJ’s beloved sober rituals, how he brings coziness into his everyday life, and the recent makeover that has Michelle and Lauren obsessed (hello, handlebar mustache era!). From Trader Joe’s favorites to what he’s reading, watching, and listening to—this is one of the warmest and most open episodes yet.
Plus, we share our Simple Joys of the Week, chat about the stunning children’s book Good Night LaGrange, Good Night Western Springs by Taylor D. Tomlison, and gush over the new Frankenstein film that TJ convinced Lauren and Michelle to go see ASAP.
Cozy up, pour yourself a mocktail, and enjoy this heart-forward conversation.
