Blogging in Recovery: Writing Your Way to Healing and Connection
But to write your recovery is a really powerful, a really powerful act, and I think she had talked about.
Imagine being surrounded by 500 women, all on a journey to recovery, at the She Recovers conference in NYC. That's where Tammi Salas found herself, soaking in wisdom from speakers like Glennon Doyle Melton and Gabby Bernstein. Meanwhile, her co-host Sondra Primeaux tuned in via livestream, eager to share the experience. This episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast' dives into the magic of writing as a tool for recovery.
Tammi and Sondra talk about how blogging, journaling, or even jotting down thoughts can be a lifeline when you're trying to stay sober. They mention influential blogs that guided them in their early days of recovery, like those by Aidan Donnelly Rowley and Laura McKowen. But it's not just about reading others' words; it's about writing your own. The hosts stress how putting pen to paper can help process emotions, make connections, and find solidarity in the 'Me Too' moments.
To top it off, they share their top three recovery-slash-creativity tools for the week. Sondra's picks include a book by Marianne Williamson and some hula hooping fun, while Tammi highlights essential oils and her inspiring interview series. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers a heartfelt look at how writing can be both a mirror and a map on your recovery journey.
