This week on Sober Awkward, Vic confesses to bombing a speech so badly she considered faking her own death to escape the hotel. Turns out, all our “step out of your comfort zone!” pep talks might have been… well… a bit shit. Because sometimes you don’t just step out... you cartwheel out, land flat on your face, and want to live in a cave forever.


Enter RSD, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, the sneaky brain glitch that makes one awkward moment feel like the whole world hates you. Vic and Hamish dive into what it is, why it bites harder in sobriety, and how success amnesia makes you forget every win you’ve ever had the second something goes wrong.


Expect sweaty palms, public speaking disasters, spa-side meltdowns, and knob jokes (obviously). If you’ve ever spiralled over a slow text reply or considered joining witness protection after a minor faux pas, this episode is for you.
