Tawny and Lisa talk with Lindsay Sutherland Boal, a coach, advocate, and the founder of both The Uncovery App and She Walks Canada, which support women overcoming problematic relationships with alcohol. They chat about gray-area drinking and the concept of “rock enough,” the acknowledgement that you don’t need a “rock bottom” crisis to quit drinking. The Uncovery App is dedicated to the pursuit of alcohol-free living through self-investigation and support. She Walks Canada organizes walks around the world to support recovery and foster community. Music Minute features Lindsay’s opera career and tropical lounge music.   Check out The Uncovery App [http://www.theuncoveryapp.com/]   Learn about She Walks Canada [http://www.shewalkscanada.com/]   On Instagram: @theuncoveryapp [https://instagram.com/theuncoveryapp] and @shewalkscanada [https://instagram.com/shewalkscanada]   Order The Sobriety Deck [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/750832/the-sobriety-deck-by-tawny-lara-and-lisa-smith/]    Listen to The Sobriety Deck Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7vlIAMpU0rQfLGtKfTTHHR?si=f4547468532f48c4] by Hannah Gardner   Order Tawny’s book, DRY HUMPING: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730665/dry-humping-by-tawny-lara/].   Sign up for Tawny’s newsletter, "Beyond Liquid Courage" [https://tawnylara.substack.com/]   Order Tawny’s new NA drink, (parentheses) [https://www.drinkparentheses.com/]   Order Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar [https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Walks-Out-Bar-Memoir-ebook/dp/B01G12I6SI/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=girl+walks+out+of+a+bar+by+lisa+smith&qid=1679313689&sprefix=girl+walks+out%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-1]

Tawny and Lisa are taking a summer break from the podcast, but encore episodes will air until they’re back in September. They talk about how it feels to pause and what they’ll be doing. It’s an opportunity for play and a chance to reset and reflect. But giving themselves time off brings up different emotions for both of them. They go deep on their feelings about routines, financial insecurity, and perfection.

City girls love nature, too! Tawny and Lisa talk about the role it plays in their recoveries. Spending time in nature is linked to both cognitive benefits and improvements in mood, mental health and emotional well-being. But you can also bring nature into the home with herbs, plants, flowers or anything that connects with you. And nature is not just the mountains or the ocean – it can be anywhere you feel connected, like a dog park in the city!

Tawny and Lisa talk about the power of being with people in person, including on their recent travels. What’s different when we’re off the screens? How do we motivate ourselves when it feels easier to just stay home? Can we find the flexibility to pick up the phone when it’s not on the calendar? And how do we manage our energy budgets when sometimes the juice just isn’t there? Hint: Phone a friend!   Music Minute features Blondie, Lionel Richie, Adele and The Police   Order The Sobriety Deck [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/750832/the-sobriety-deck-by-tawny-lara-and-lisa-smith/]    Listen to The Sobriety Deck Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7vlIAMpU0rQfLGtKfTTHHR?si=f4547468532f48c4] by Hannah Gardner   Sign up for Tawny’s Writing Classes [https://writingworkshops.com/collections/classes-led-by-tawny-lara-on-the-craft-and-business-of-writing]   Order Tawny’s book, DRY HUMPING: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730665/dry-humping-by-tawny-lara/]   Subscribe to Tawny's newsletter  "Beyond Liquid Courage" [https://tawnylara.substack.com/]   Order Tawny’s new NA drink, (parentheses) [https://www.drinkparentheses.com/]   Purchase Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar [https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Walks-Out-Bar-Memoir-ebook/dp/B01G12I6SI/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=girl+walks+out+of+a+bar+by+lisa+smith&qid=1679313689&sprefix=girl+walks+out%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-1]
