Podcast appearances and mentions of erin shaw street

Today on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra are excited to welcome back their friend Erin Shaw Street. This is Erin's third appearance on the show but so much has changed since her last interview that they wanted to catch up with her work, specifically around Tell Better Stories, the Instagram account she launched in 2018 to challenge media's messages about alcohol while advocating for those in recovery. They talk about taking social media breaks, they talk about giving yourself room to evolve, and they talk about the prioritization of needs for a robust recovery. This is such an important conversation and Erin is a woman who walks her talk. To learn more about Erin and her work, visit http://www.erinshawstreet.com/ or follow her on Instagram @erinshawstreet and @tellbetterstoriesmedia. This week, the ladies share three items from their Unruffled Toolboxes: Erin Shaw Street (1) Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn; Sondra Primeaux (2) Consistent Daily Meditation; and  Tammi Salas (3) The Artist's Way Morning Pages.

Erin Shaw Street is a writer, editor and creator whose media project, Tell Better Stories, challenged media and marketing professionals to question their role in how alcohol is promoted and glamorized to women.

The Erins also talk about prohibition, how to be an activist without the “fight,” parenting and moving through life without a plan.http://www.erinshawstreet.com/To visit the SHE RECOVERS website, click here.SHE RECOVERS Facebook Page, click here.SHE RECOVERS Instagram Page, click here.

The marketing of Alcohol. This is quite the subject. Something that really we have both become interested in and acutely aware of now we don't drink. Let's chat about this for two reasons because: A) It's a question of ethics. How honest/How well regulated are these industries? Are they giving responsible messages around alcohol? B) Let's take some of the shame/blame off us for a moment - what's the expression? "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." Yes we are ultimately responsible for the choices we make, but let's talk about the context for those decisions. How easy is it to make an informed choice about alcohol when your whole life you have been told openly and subliminally that drinking alcohol is the ONLY normal choice. Then we talk revolution...

Carol and Jessica talk about dealing with grief and early sobriety together. Carol talks about choosing one-on-one therapy as her main source of healing from addiction, and working on childhood trauma as a recovering adult. She shares the real-life tools that helped her get through her first year sober, and lists off tons of resources for our listeners, including movies, books, podcasts, and blogs. She also gives newly sober people a reason to redecorate (hint: it's all about creating new spaces, literally and figuratively).  See below show notes for all of the great resources Carol mentions.

Staying with the Sober Sister Summer Series, Tammi and Sondra welcome back Erin Shaw Street to talk about sober travel. (You may remember Erin from Episode 18 https://soundcloud.com/stevehecht-561628099/episode-18-erin-shaw-street, so go back and listen to that one if you want to hear her entire story.) As a travel writer, Erin has so many great tips on sober travel, including not just how to prepare and what to keep in your toolbox, but being clear on your intentions before you even board the plane. Erin uses real-time anecdotes from her own recent travels, so you may want to grab a pen!
