So Vicki gave me some suggestions for his birthday present, and she said these three things. Oh, geez. Oh, yeah, that's Lynn for you. I guess so. And we are telling on ourselves.
Ever find yourself reaching for a snack when you're not really hungry, or snapping at someone because you're just tired? In this episode of 'Telling On Ourselves', hosts Lynn and Vicki, along with their guest Michelle, aka Slugger, dive into the HALT concept—Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. This trio shares their own slip-ups and successes, making the discussion both relatable and enlightening.
Slugger steps in for Sweet Bre this week and opens up about her 'First Thought Wrong' moment, involving a work frustration and a much-needed pause. Vicki also shares her experience of letting her feelings loose without hitting that magical pause button. The conversation is peppered with laughter and real talk, as they explore tools like journaling, the feelings wheel, and the simple yet powerful act of identifying your emotions.

They discuss the 'magical pause', a concept so crucial that Slugger has it tattooed on her body. They also touch on the importance of getting back to basics when things get overwhelming. Whether it's changing a thought by moving a muscle or downloading your feelings with another person, these tools are essential for anyone navigating the rocky road of recovery. So if you're looking for some heartfelt advice mixed with humor, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a reminder that sometimes, all you need is a pause—and maybe a Snickers bar—to get through the tough times.
