Allowing time to check out and get lost in stories is a critical element of their self-care and sobriety routines
Ever felt the need to escape the constant barrage of news and just lose yourself in a good book or show? In this episode of Recovery Rocks, Tawny Lara and Lisa Smith dive into their favourite distractions that help them maintain their sobriety and mental health. From books like Miranda July's 'All Fours' to TV shows like 'Severance' and movies like 'The Substance', they discuss how these stories provide a much-needed break from reality.
They also touch on the importance of finding joy in small things, especially when the world feels overwhelming. The episode isn't just about escapism, though. Tawny and Lisa share practical tips on managing finances with Dana Miranda's book 'You Don't Need a Budget' and explore the idea of bartering as a way to reduce financial stress.
Music also plays a big role in their self-care routines, with shoutouts to artists like Beyoncé and Doechii, who recently made waves at the Grammys. Whether you're looking for your next great read or just need a reminder to take care of yourself, this episode has something for everyone. So, why not take a break and tune in? You might find just the distraction you need.
