Episode Overview

  • Trial and error is a fundamental method for solving problems.
  • Sarcasm can be a barrier to genuine connection.

Sarcasm is the most selfish sense of humour there is.
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this lively episode of 'Telling On Ourselves', Lynn and Vikki, two sober pals, are back at the podcasting table, ready to dish out their amusing tales of recovery mishaps. They dive into the chaotic world of trial and error, where spaghetti on the wall becomes a metaphor for life's unpredictable moments.
Lynn kicks things off with her 'First Thought Wrong' segment, offering a humorous yet relatable insight into the art of taking a deep breath before blurting out a defensive remark. The duo discusses the often problematic nature of sarcasm, revealing how it can be both a love language and a barrier to genuine connection. With anecdotes about neuropsychologists and the contagiousness of yawning, they explore how our brains mirror stress and anxiety.
Their conversation moves seamlessly from spaghetti metaphors to serious reflections on personal growth, illustrating how recovery is anything but linear. This episode is packed with laughs, wisdom, and a touch of cheeky sarcasm, reminding us that trial and error is all about learning from our mistakes. So, if you've ever wondered why your best looks different every day or how sarcasm can be both a shield and a sword, this episode is for you.
Remember, it's all about being open to new solutions, even if you think you've nailed it. Are you ready to embrace the chaos and find humour in your recovery journey?
