Taking a break might seem counterintuitive in a world that never stops, but Tawny Lara and Lisa Smith, the dynamic duo behind Recovery Rocks, are embracing it wholeheartedly. In this episode, they share their plans for a summer hiatus, promising a return with fresh energy and insights in September. Tawny and Lisa explore the emotional rollercoaster that comes with pausing a routine that means so much to them.
It's not just about rest; it's a chance to reset, reflect, and maybe do a bit of nothing – sounds dreamy, right? As they discuss their summer plans, you'll hear about Tawny's next writing adventure and Lisa's novel draft, both infused with themes of sobriety and creativity. They also touch on financial insecurities and the perfectionism that often lurks in the background.
Their conversation is peppered with anecdotes about their early jobs and how these experiences shaped their work ethic today. And of course, music is never far from their minds, with Sheryl Crow, The White Stripes, and Eminem featuring in their Music Minute. So, if you're curious about how breaks can lead to breakthroughs or just want to hear some heartfelt musings from two recovery advocates, this episode is a must-listen.
You might even find yourself inspired to take a break and recharge your own batteries.
