I think that we don't give ourselves enough space for that. When I was drinking and I drank for a lot of reasons, as I think most people that are on the show, we have lots of different reasons- we drank or chose that as an escape or have cross-addictions, and it was a way for me recently.
Imagine living a life on the road with Cirque du Soleil, only to find yourself settling down and rediscovering your creativity in sobriety. In this episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast', hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas chat with Jacqui Hathaway Levin, a freelance writer and sober creative. Jacqui opens up about her nomadic lifestyle and how she has finally put down roots in Winter Garden, Florida.
They dive into the significance of movement in healing and the importance of building community, no matter where you are. Jacqui shares her unique journey, highlighting how touring with Cirque du Soleil presented both challenges and opportunities. She talks about the isolating nature of constant travel but also the tight-knit community that forms among performers.
Now, settled in one place, Jacqui has embraced movement as a vital part of her recovery, whether it's through nature walks or other forms of physical activity. One of the most captivating parts of the conversation is Jacqui's emphasis on rediscovering her creative side. After years on the move, she found solace and inspiration in writing and other artistic pursuits. She also delves into her 'Unruffled Toolbox', sharing three key elements that have supported her sobriety: nature, books, and movement.
