This week on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra welcome Molly Dunham. Molly is a California-based collage artist, writer and Mama, among so many other things. In this conversation, she shares that after putting down the alcohol, she’s able to follow the winding evolution that her creativity takes her with crystal clarity. If you want to follow her creative journey, including her current 100 Day Project, you can find her on Instagram @mollyddunham.

This week, Molly shares three items from her Unruffled Toolbox: (1) Pop music; (2) The Wild Unknown Archetype deck; and (3) A few friends who can jump in the deep end without small talk.

Episode 159 - Molly Dunham

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.

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

Episode 208 - This is Us (Vol 6)

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.
