Tamara comes back to the pod because she felt like she left a little bit about bipolar disorder unsaid. She delves more into what life was like after the diagnosis and how things are now. All this but IT'S FUNNY.

In this episode, I sit down with actor, mom, jewelry designer, and my sober bestie Tamara Mello. She spills all the tea (okay, mostly tequila) about her bumpy ride to two-plus years of sobriety. Tamara shares her funny, emotional, and deeply honest path through drinking, motherhood, mental health, and eventually, a life-changing decision to quit alcohol for good. From teenage wine coolers to “accidental rock bottoms,” from battling anxiety to discovering real connection and clarity, Tamara’s story reminds us that sobriety isn’t about losing fun — it’s about gaining freedom.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever questioned their relationship with drinking, or anyone who just needs to hear that change is possible — and it’s worth it.

You think you’ve heard a wild sobriety story? Buckle up. This week I talk to my old friend Ronnie Marmo, who got sober for the first time at 13. Yes, you read that right. While I was still hoarding Lip Smackers, Ronnie was in rehab and dealing weed out of pillowcases. But Ronnie’s story isn’t just wild—it’s beautiful. He’s now 34 years sober, a working actor and director, and the guy behind two amazing shows: I’m Not a Comedian, I’m Lenny Bruce and Bill W. and Dr. Bob . Plus, I talk about that time my sister-in-law low key did an intervention on me. I think you'll love this episode.

Comedian and longtime podcaster Greg Fitzsimmons joins host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor for a candid, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about his decades-long journey without alcohol—and why he never calls himself “sober.”
From getting drunk behind the bleachers at 13 to quitting after bombing a stand-up set in Boston, Greg opens up about addiction in his Irish Catholic family, dealing with anger, parenting in the age of weed vapes, and how comedy became his salvation. He also talks about his use of mushrooms for healing, his one-night relapse, and why AA wasn’t the right fit for him—even if its ideas stuck.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit into the “sober” box but knew they needed to make a change. Come for the wisdom, stay for the punchlines. No judgment, no dogma—just real talk.

What if you never hit rock bottom, but still chose to quit drinking? In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud conversation, host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor welcomes her friend and fellow sober storyteller, Meredith Lynch. Meredith opens up about growing up in a beer-at-dinner kind of household, losing her mother at a young age, and the quiet ways alcohol wove itself into her life. With humor and honesty, she shares how she realized she didn’t need a big dramatic moment to walk away from drinking—just a gut feeling that she deserved to feel better.
They dive into gentle parenting yourself, the emotional weight of caretaking as a teen, being sober-curious in a wine-obsessed world, and why LA might just be the best city to not drink in. Plus: sneaky nostalgia for bad college vodka, the reality of mocktail menus, and the eternal mystery of why Real Housewives are still blackout-drunk on TV.

What happens when you’re a rising stand-up comic, a trans man in Texas, and a high-functioning alcoholic all before your 21st birthday? In this unforgettable episode of Drunk-ish, host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor sits down with the hilarious and brutally honest Jeffrey Jay, a groundbreaking transgender comedian who built a career making people laugh—while privately battling a deepening addiction to alcohol.
Jeffrey opens up about his early start in comedy, his unconventional (and deeply loving) upbringing with a Republican judge for a mom, and the ingenious hustle he pulled off in high school to keep himself stocked with booze. He talks candidly about the toxic drinking culture in stand-up, what finally drove him to rehab, and how he found healing, purpose, and self-respect on the other side of addiction. -
In this powerful and deeply honest premiere episode of Drunk-ish, Stefanie sits down with sobriety influencer and The Sober Mom Life host Suzanne Warye for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing. From blackout brunches with babies on the couch to navigating postpartum OCD and intrusive thoughts, Suzanne opens up about her winding road to sobriety—and the moment she knew she was done for good. Together, Stefanie and Suzanne explore the performance of “mommy wine culture,” the shame spiral of moderation, and how ditching alcohol changed their relationships, sex lives, and sense of self. Suzanne also shares how her decision to stop drinking reshaped her career, sparked a vibrant online community, and led to her upcoming book, A Sober Shift.
