Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this episode of 'Telling On Ourselves,' Lynn, Vikki, and Mark share a lively discussion on the concept of purpose and how it ties into recovery. The trio explores whether purpose is something inherent or something discovered through life’s second chances. Mark kicks things off with a humorous 'first thought wrong' anecdote, setting the tone for an engaging conversation that blends personal stories with broader reflections.
As they chat, you'll find yourself laughing along with their candid tales of everyday mishaps, like Mark's laundry room saga and Vikki's knife-related defensiveness. The heart of the episode lies in a deeper exploration of finding one's purpose after addiction. Is it about grand gestures or simply living in the moment? The hosts share their insights on how purpose can manifest in small, everyday actions and the importance of embracing life as it comes.
With references to Rumi and Mary Oliver, they ponder how to live authentically without letting ego drive the bus. Whether you're in recovery or just seeking a little inspiration, this episode offers a mix of laughter, wisdom, and heartfelt honesty. So, what drives you to seek a life filled with purpose? Tune in to find out and maybe even reflect on your own journey.
