What’s Next in Mid Life - Creativity, Change + Finding Your Purpose
‘What’s Next?’ is a huge question for midlife women who have quit drinking or are working on quitting drinking.
You're evolving, you're changing, your coping mechanisms are changing.
Lots of times when you stop drinking, suddenly you have a lot more free time and energy than you used to.
When you were drinking and recovering from drinking. You are sort of in a holding pattern.
You were stuck. And now you're wondering what to do with all that time.
In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Sondra Primeaux. Sondra is a multi passionate maker, a photographer, a sustainable designer and seamstress, a writer, a coach and a podcast host. She hosts the Unruffled Podcast through a private Facebook group for the podcast.
Sondra started the Unruffled Podcast to talk about the intersection of creativity and recovery in what she terms the midlife solution, which I absolutely love. Sandra says midlife is only a crisis if you make it one.
Sondra was 45 when she quit using alcohol as a means to cope with life. And in the last six years, she's figured out through intensive learning, trial and failure, and loads of practice to answer ‘now what?’
We are discussing:
The intersection of creativity and recovery helps midlife women not only survive, but also thrive.
How conscious journaling can give you the momentum and creative space to explore more internal thoughts and how this process is a good tool to have during early sobriety
The transition into your mid-life and why you should dig deep into what you’ve done or haven't done. And it's also a time to take a glimpse into your future self.
Being honest with yourself and with others and how to set boundaries.
Using the enneagram to learn about yourself and what motivates you
Why creativity is a important part of your recovery and how to find different ways to bring joy and creativity to your life
How to find the middle space or sweet spot where you can create
Intersection of your personality type and going to AA and realizing there are other successful ways to recovery
