Lisa talks through how a 12-step program led to her thinking on a Higher Power and Tawny addresses her spiritual skepticism. As always, even when their approaches to recovery are different, they find plenty of common ground. Even “Higher Ground” of the Stevie Wonder and Red Hot Chili Peppers variety! Our friends and sponsor Tempest support all kinds of recovery. Find them at jointempest.com and @jointempest.

The incredibly inspiring founder of Served Up Sober, Shari Hampton, joins the ladies to talk about the gifts of sobriety and how being of service to others is a way of being of service to ourselves. Shari discusses meeting people where they are, restorative eating, sound baths, meditation, music, and rediscovering ourselves in recovery.

Tawny and Lisa talk about the difficulty separating from their devices and how that can affect their recovery. Mindless social media scrolling, comparing ourselves to others, and getting a high from being “liked.” Will they land us all in a Rehab of the Future or can we employ strategies to find a better balance? Our friends and sponsor Tempest support all kinds of recovery. Find them at jointempest.com and @jointempest.

Lisa’s personal hero, Anna David, joins the conversation to talk about her journey and the unexpected career transitions recovery can offer. Coming through addiction is like, “surviving the Titanic,” and so much is possible once we reach land. Anna also shares fascinating tips on writing about recovery and the book publishing industry. As always, we’re thrilled to be sponsored this season by our friends at Tempest! Check it out at jointempest.com and @jointempest.

Access to treatment for substance use and mental health disorders should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Tawny and Lisa talk about access, preventative care, and the ability (or lack of ability) for people to take charge of their own wellbeing.

Tawny and Lisa talk about loneliness, what it means to them, and strategies for getting through it.

And don’t forget to check out our incredible season 3 sponsor, Tempest, at jointempest.com and @jointempest.

They’re back! After a year on hiatus, Tawny and Lisa talk about what they’ve been up to, including a cross-country move and a loved-up in-town move. New situations and protecting sobriety through decluttering, relocating, and traveling. But always remembering to celebrate sober milestones and achievements. And we’re thrilled that this season is sponsored by our kick-ass friends at Tempest! Go to jointempest.com to check it out! Follow them at @jointempest.
