In a world where stress seems to be lurking around every corner, co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara bring a refreshing perspective on finding joy in everyday life. In this episode of Recovery Rocks, they chat about 'Glimmers' - those tiny sparks of happiness that can brighten even the gloomiest days.
These two rock-loving recovery advocates share their own recent glimmers, from blooming flowers to kitchen adventures, reminding us all to keep our eyes peeled for those little moments of joy. Tawny and Lisa take turns sharing anecdotes from their lives, like Tawny's joy of making granola while watching Drag Race, or Lisa's serendipitous encounter with a blooming bush on a morning walk.
They emphasise the importance of being open to these moments and even creating your own glimmers, whether it's through music, art, or simply enjoying a good meal. The episode isn't just about finding glimmers for yourself, though. The hosts also discuss how you can be a glimmer for others. Simple acts like sending a funny GIF or bringing a friend a cupcake can spread joy and create connections.
With their signature blend of humour and empathy, Tawny and Lisa make a compelling case for why seeking out these glimmers is crucial for mental health and recovery. After all, life's too short not to find some happiness along the way. So why not tune in and discover your own glimmers? It might just be the bright spot you need.
