The Unruffled Podcast

The Unruffled Podcast is a weekly show hosted by Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas that explores all topics relating to creativity in recovery. When an addiction is removed, there is a void that is left and this show digs into all of the ways to fill that void. The Unruffled is passionate about creating and making and how those pursuits fuel recovery, specifically from alcohol. Come with them as they unruffle the old stories and write new ones, to not just exist but thrive.

    Episode 207 - Goodbye For Now, Unruffleds

    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.
