It's not easy, it's not for the faint of heart, and so I think kind of arguing back and forth, and it's, it's probably going to continue, right, it's an invitation I felt like giving up alcohol was an invitation to.
Imagine stepping into a conversation that feels like a warm, insightful chat with friends who get it. In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, Tammi Salas is joined by guest co-host Jolene Park, a functional nutritionist and health coach known for her expertise in 'gray area drinking'. Jolene’s unique approach combines mental and physical wellness, making this episode a treasure trove of practical advice and empathetic insights.
They kick things off by tackling the labels often slapped onto those in recovery. Are these labels helpful or just another box to squeeze into? Jolene and Tammi unpack this with refreshing honesty. The discussion then flows into the concept of gray area drinking—a term for those who don’t fit the stereotypical mold of an alcoholic but still struggle with their drinking habits.
Jolene shares her own journey and offers a new lens to view sobriety, making it feel more inclusive and less daunting. But that’s not all. They dive into how understanding our monthly energy cycles and feminine wisdom can be game-changers in alcohol-free living. Jolene breaks down the four phases of these cycles, offering tips on how to harness this knowledge for better self-care and recovery.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jolene opens her 'Unruffled Toolbox' to share three go-to practices that help her stay grounded: lymphatic draining with dry skin brushing and rebounding, walking in nature, and energy clearing practices. These simple yet effective tools can make a world of difference in maintaining sobriety. Whether you’re newly sober, sober curious, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom wrapped in warmth and empathy.
