Turning Discomfort into Growth: Creative Recovery with Sondra and Tammi

Change is very uncomfortable, but the thing is once, once one change, once you make a change, it begets more change.
Ever found yourself stuck in a rut, feeling overwhelmed or bored? Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas know that feeling all too well. In Episode 107 of 'The Unruffled Podcast', they tackle what they call the 'discomfort zone'. Inspired by a Robcast episode on restlessness, they dive deep into those uneasy feelings we all face—like change, impulsivity, and boredom—and how to turn them into opportunities for growth.
Drawing from their own experiences, Sondra and Tammi share how they used to cope with discomfort by turning to alcohol. Now, in their recovery journey, they've learned to see these uncomfortable moments as invitations to get creative. Sondra recounts a sleepless night where she found solace in activities she loves, while Tammi talks about using her 'Unruffled Toolbox' to manage those tricky feelings. What's in their toolboxes, you ask?
Sondra's got some gems like getting into the flow, unplugging from technology, and finding laughter. Tammi brings her own flair with tools like collaging her feelings, having a daily theme song, and building her creative wheelhouse. They offer practical advice that's easy to implement, like writing down urges or talking to someone you trust. This episode is a treasure trove of solutions for anyone on the recovery path.
It's not just about surviving discomfort but thriving through it by harnessing creativity. Whether it's drawing with your kids or picking up a new hobby, Sondra and Tammi show that small changes can lead to big growth. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on managing life's challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
