Your Sober Pal

Laura Van Antwerp is your sober pal. She used to drink too much and make a mess of everything. These days she hosts a popular podcast, encouraging people (and herself!) to keep on keepin' on their sober path—and to have fun along the way. Laura lives with her husband Karl and her dog Maia in Reno, Nevada. She hopes you'll come say hey on TikTok and Instagram @yoursoberpal, or at yoursoberpal.com! Knock Knock creates products that bring wit, heart, productivity, and occasional light profanity to everyday life. Our pads, planners, journals, and books help people accomplish their goals, express their feelings, and laugh at the absurdity of modern existence. We live by (at least) two mottos: “We Put the Fun in Functional” and “Make a List—You’ll Feel Better.” We consider list-making and laughter to be essential forms of self-care. (And, obvs, we love mottos.) Knock Knock was founded in 2002 by Jen Bilik, and in 2018 joined forces with Em & Friends (formerly known as Emily McDowell & Friends). In 2022 our small-but-mighty team was thrilled to become a part of the Union Square & Co. family. We’re super-excited about what’s to come. (Hint: it’ll probably involve paper and some sweary words.)
