Tammi Salas: From Gold Stars to Creative Recovery

Once I started feeling so good in the mornings and doing these creative endeavors in the morning and seeing how it felt different, how energized I was, how much time I had, like it just fueled me, I loved it, I loved it, and you probably quickly started gathering tools you know, like okay, okay, because that can take you pretty far, but it can only take you so far, you know, until you're put into challenging situations or you just don't feel good and you want to change it immediately.
Ever wondered how creativity can be a lifeline in recovery? This episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast' flips the script as Sondra Primeaux interviews her co-host, Tammi Salas. Tammi, the quintessential California girl, opens up about her driven nature and the need for validation, which initially led her down a traditional career path. However, it was her admiration for Martha Stewart that ignited her creative spark.
Even as her drinking escalated post-divorce, Tammi turned to blogging and journaling to capture life's good moments, saying, 'I wanted proof of life'. Recovery not only led her back to school for art but also opened doors to various creative endeavors that define her today. Tammi credits her journal and pen for keeping her grounded during tough times. In this heartfelt conversation, Sondra and Tammi also share their top three recovery tools for the week.
Sondra's picks include her kids' improv performances, rainy-day embroidery, and cherished family photos. Tammi's favorites are an inspiring podcast episode from 'The Good Life Project', her Instagram muse Tracy@shutterbean, and refreshing slim cans of Perrier Sparkling Mineral Water. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone looking to see how creativity can fuel a fulfilling life in recovery.
