Episode description

Mocktails & mental breakdowns. Awura Abena doesn’t drink and we don’t really know why. In this ep, we get to the bottom of it. 

We chat about never being drunk before, being the sober friend throughout your teens and twenties, hating parties, being perceived as boring and judgemental, why goon sacks are trash but popular, social anxiety, people asking you why you don’t drink, how not drinking affects friendships + relationships more generally, whether alcohol makes you less attractive, hating the taste of alcohol, what ‘fun’ looks like, normalising going for a smoothie, the romanticisation of alcohol, why boat parties ain’t it, doing you, Awura Abena’s tips for protecting your peace (sober edition) + much more!

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to the Ancestors who protect this sacred land and live and speak through community members. I pay my respects to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge through generations. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
