Colleen Marie on Sobriety: Embracing Life, Community, and Creativity

The only time I can really do that is when I'm sober. And you know it's something that keeps me sober, because I get so much out of that.
Tammi Salas and Sondra Primeaux are back with another thought-provoking episode of The Unruffled Podcast, and this time they're joined by the inspiring Colleen Marie. Colleen juggles a full-time job in marketing and franchise business development for a fitness studio while also helping yoga teachers kickstart their own ventures. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. This episode dives deep into her journey of sobriety, touching on the emotional highs and lows that come with it.
Colleen opens up about the importance of community, the role of hobbies in maintaining sobriety, and how she navigates grief and loss. She also shares cautionary signs of relapse, offering a lifeline to those who might be struggling. One particularly poignant moment is when Colleen discusses the impact of the pandemic on her recovery journey, emphasizing the need to stay connected and creative during challenging times.
For those looking for practical advice, Colleen shares three go-to items from her Unruffled Toolbox: a steaming hot shower, yoga and breathwork, and a trip to the bookstore. These simple yet effective tools offer a glimpse into how she stays grounded and focused. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with insights and tips that can make a real difference.
