The Unruffled Podcast Sondra Primeaux + Tammi Salas

We are back for a check-in with each other! Our last recording was in August 2021. This is Us NOW in 2022.

After 4+ years, over 200 episodes and 1M downloads, Tammi and Sondra are ready to take an indefinite break from recording the podcast. The pandemic of 2020-21 has invited so many emotions: grief, resilience, liminality. But it has also invited us to question how we do everything. Tammi and Sondra have decided to accept this invitation as a chance to work on individual new projects that could only happen if the decks were cleared. They aren’t shutting anything down, there is a beautiful archive that they hope you will continue to enjoy. And they aren’t saying they won’t pop back in sometime in the future, so that is why, as it’s said, goodbye for now.

This week on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra talk about Summer: Summer plans, Summer travel, and most importantly, Summer sobriety.

This week on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra talk about some big and fast approaching milestones. Milestones, whether they are graduations, sober anniversaries or birthdays, are always part joy and part grief. This episode is about the navigation of emotions, emotions made available as a byproduct of recovery.

This week on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra welcome Casey McGuire Davidson. Casey is a certified professional life and sobriety coach and the host of The Hello Someday Podcast. “Is sobriety boring?” is a question Casey hears often as a coach. They talk about the fear of boredom that keeps some people from considering sobriety, they talk about the irony of monotony (life actually gets bigger when you stop drinking), and they share ideas on making your life more fun and joyful when you quit drinking. You can learn more about Casey and her offerings at https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/ and follow her on Instagram @caseymdavidson.
