About this event

There’s a common misconception that drinking makes dating easier. We’re told that alcohol offers us that little bit of liquid courage we need to loosen up, to be ourselves. We learn through media exposure that alcohol makes us sexy, sophisticated, and carefree. We live in a world where the most common first date includes a drink to lighten the nervous energy.

But what if you decided to date without booze? Will you be a social outcast? Will you be passed over for dates for the fear that you won’t be fun? What would we even do on a date where you didn’t grab a drink?

These are common questions people have when trying to navigate dating, sex, and love without booze and in this discussion, Tawny Lara, an NYC-based writer and co-host of Recovery Rocks podcast, Lazarus Letcher is an academic, musician, and a sober trans person who writes about the importance of making sobriety spaces inclusive for all, Niki Sawni, co-founder of the non-alcoholic beverage company Gruvi, and Amanda Kuda (moderator), a writer, speaker, coach, and teacher helping women who are drinking in the “gray area” re-negotiate their relationship with alcohol will dive deep into all aspects of dating sober and mindfully in the digital age.

Hey there, I’m Amanda Kuda.

I’m on a mission to help high-achieving women who are drinking in the “gray area” re-negotiate their relationship with alcohol so that they can start living the life they deserve. Let me help you create a life you don’t want to escape from.

Niki Sawni is the co-founder of Gruvi. He grew up in Toronto & moved to Denver two years ago to launch Gruvi. He has helped grow Gruvi into a beloved brand by focusing on pushing the boundaries of taste and branding for non-alcoholic beers & wines. Constantly working on reducing the stigma around not consuming alcohol socially and looking forward to the day when the NA portion of menus at restaurants is just as large as the alcohol section.

Main passions are health, sports & business. Niki has been recently enjoying cross country skiing in Colorado as a great way to re-energize.
