Ever felt like healing is a full-time job? Ronni and Jennie know exactly what that's like. In their podcast episode, 'Take a Vacation from Healing!', these two sisters explore the idea of stepping back from the intense focus on recovery. Growing up in a home filled with addiction and abuse, they understand the pressure of constantly trying to 'fix' oneself.
The episode is a breath of fresh air, reminding you that it's okay to take a break and indulge in life's simple joys. Ronni shares her experience of letting go, even if just for a week, enjoying treats like potato chips and muddled old-fashioned cocktails without guilt. The sisters highlight how society often views healing as a project, pushing individuals to curate their lives like social media feeds.
But the truth is, healing isn't about perfecting yourself; it's about recognising progress and allowing joy back into your life. Jennie talks candidly about the pressures of perfectionism, which she describes as a trauma response. It's easy to weaponise these feelings against yourself, but Ronni and Jennie advocate for a kinder approach. They suggest taking stock of how far you've come, celebrating small victories rather than dwelling on negatives.
With their trademark humour, the sisters encourage you to embrace activities that bring joy – whether it's dancing, swimming, or hugging a tree. Recovery should be about reclaiming happiness, not just shedding trauma. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by the healing process, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. It's all about finding balance and remembering that joy is the ultimate goal. Why not take a break and listen to Ronni and Jennie's uplifting conversation?
