SOBER YOGA GIRL: Available Now. Fourteen months after I got sober, I started writing. I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it. I just knew that once I began, I couldn’t stop. It felt like I was digging myself out of a deep, dark hole with every word I put on the page. What I discovered was I actually wasn’t just a “Former Party Girl” 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ but actually a girl who was really really sad and searching for solutions at the bottom of a bottle. Step 4 of the 12 step program is to make a “searching and fearless moral inventory” and writing this book was an inventory for me. What are my problems? How have they affected me and others around me? How can I proceed to recovery? This story started out as a personal project. And then, the deeper I got into my work in sobriety, the more I realized how universal pain is. And how our stories become other people’s survival guides. And so the book took on greater meaning. I spent one whole year working with @salonilakhia from 2020-2021 on this. I cried and cried over zoom as she dissected my work. After we finished, I then proceeded to let the book sit on my hard drive, which I’m grateful for. In that time a number of conflicts with myself and others came to conclusion that altered the way I saw the world and the message of the book. I worked with the incredible @smillman0 who dissected this book yet again, and transformed it. Finally with @fuzzyflamingodesign for the final layout. Many friends read the book and gave me feedback. And finally - four years, three editors, 67 chapters and over 115,000 words - Sober Yoga Girl is almost here. ❤️✨ It’s coming soon. If you want to be the first to know when it’s out head to www.soberyogagirl.com and drop your email. When Taylor Swift released TTPD, she wrote on Instagram, “This period of the authors life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.” ❤️https://www.instagram.com/alexmcrobs/https://www.instagram.com/themindfullifepractice/https://stan.store/alexmcrobs Hosted on Acast.

Today, we talk about Sound Therapy & Holistic Health with my guest - Mayara Souza!(**special shout-out to the American gypC Podcast for introducing Mayara and me!)Her bio:"Mayara grew up in Brazil and she had to overcome a very adverse and traumatic childhood. She has a history of physical, mental and sexual abuse that led her into an intense dependency on alcohol since her early years. Mayara finally moved to America in her mid twenties when she started her healing process that continues to evolve every day. Today, after a decade of healing work and extensive research on trauma and consciousness, she is a certified Sound Therapist and uses acoustic sound to relax the nervous system helping her clients to release emotions that might be trapped somewhere in the body causing mental, physical, and emotional unbalance and distress."Topics include:- poor background- growing up with a scarcity mentality- her father passed away at age 37 (she was only 4)- got into drinking in her early teens- had a fantasy to move to the USA through movies- alcohol was a tool to escape- moved to USA in her mid-20s- she discovered she had been drinking to erase the trauma of her childhood- going on a big journey of heeling and self-discovery- why do we meditate?- "hygiene for the mind"- allowing flexibility to your daily routinesFind Mayara online 👀✅ https://mayara-souza.com✅ https://www.instagram.com/iammayarasouza✅ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClMY0Xiib8HkYUwkDs7RMyw✅ https://www.facebook.com/mayarasouzaholisticwellnessPS: Mayara has a 30-Day Challenge for you at the end of the podcast!!Make sure you listen to the end!#allow, #balance, #biofield, #chakra, #chakrahealing, #healing, #holistichealth, #meditation, #recovery, #sober, #sobriety, #soundtherapy, #trauma Hosted on Acast.

From Jan 12th, 2022: Happy 2022 and welcome to Part 5/8 in the 'Jefe Living 8-Part Mini Series' with one Jeff Lester!!Today we talk about the ancient Hindu scriptures that make up what is considered to be one of the holy scriptures for Hinduism : "Bhagavad Gita".There is so much practical information that is passed down to us in these scriptures; the information is very much applicable to us, even in our current modern times.An overall birds-eye view of the book is that the central story being told is one that helps the reader become more aware of their own lives, helping point out the path to 'Ego Dissolve' & the dangers of attachment and ego identification and how selfless acts lead to true abundance in all aspects of life (plus much, much more!!).This book is highly recommended - there are many different version in both book and audiobook form.This information is useful at any age and at any stage of your life! There is a lot of replay value...Find Jeff 👀✅ https://jefeliving.com✅ https://www.instagram.com/jefe_af/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Part 4 of the 8-part-mini-series with Jeff Lester.Today, we talk about the dualities of life, the darkness & the light, the Yin & the Yang.Fresh off one of Jeff's Yin Yoga classes we both had the idea to discuss this topic, independent of each other! Clearly it was meant to be.Jeff releases some of his signature insight and value-bombs on how more "Yin" in your life can really help all avenues and aspects of your experience.☯️ Yin = surrender, letting things happen, breathing, awareness & observation, resting...☯️ Yang = exercises such as running, resistance training (weights), thoughts, "get er done" attitude...Jeff also gives some GREAT suggestions on how to start allowing my Yin into your life, one small step at a time!Find Jeff 👀✅ https://jefeliving.com✅ https://www.instagram.com/jefe_af/ Hosted on Acast.

This was one of my favourite interviews to do, to date!I love Samson's energy, his storytelling and his infectious laugh. We discuss dualities & contrasting forces, his turning point from turning a life of partying and working long hours and just generally being unhappy, to turning a full 180 degrees into a being full of space and gratitude!We discuss gratitude and the power of acceptance...we discuss the influence our environment has on us...we discuss the importance of a morning routine...Samson also shares his upbringing (which includes some very relateable stories of divorced parents and domestic violence, along with moving close to 100 times over his teenage years).The best stuff on this episode is Samson's stories about his job as a water delivery man in the mountains in Colorado. He literally delivers water jugs of spring water to folks up in the mountains that surround the city he lives in! He talks about how he blesses the water, and always finds the time to pull over and sit down & breathe and feel gratitude for himself and his life.Great stuff here!!I apologize for some of the glitchy responses here - for the most part, the signal was good, but there are some intermittent spots where Samson cuts out.Find Samson 👀✅ https://www.instagram.com/spacemansamson/✅ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eco-elevation/id1498672827 Hosted on Acast.

As the Opioid and Fentanyl crisis continues to have a grip on our communities, there are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, whose lives are cut short because of accidental overdoses. Flindt continues the never-ending mission to communicate this reality and create change in a multitude of ways.Flindt started drinking at age 13. His habit progressed to harder drugs through high school and college, which paved the way to a 23 year battle with Opioids. He was taking 70-80 Vicodin pills daily until his best friend admitted him into the Betty Ford treatment center in 2001. He’s been in recovery since.In 2009, Flindt founded PAIN | Parents & Addicts In Need, and was awarded 2021 California Nonprofit of the Year. The nonprofit provides unique programs to communities, specializing in rehabilitation services and family support for those affected by substance abuse.The nonprofit is a certified distributor of Narcan, the Opioid overdose reversal agent, and operator of Sober Living Homes in Fresno, California.With a desire to have a greater impact on the drug community - especially through the pandemic when addicts were most vulnerable, Flindt opened New Perceptions North in 2020. The multi-facility recovery and treatment center offers a full continuum of subacute care and addiction rehabilitation services. The facilities are based in Central California.Flindt regularly speaks in the media, addressing the public with information about the drug epidemic. He partners with lawmakers in California as an advocate of new legislation in the fight against drug trafficking - particularly legislation that creates changes in the way dealers and drug suppliers are prosecuted.To connect with leaders across the globe on a regular basis, Flindt launched the podcast Don’t Hide The Scars. Weekly episodes dive deep into addiction, drug culture, and their effects on families, businesses, sports, entertainment and communities. In 2021, he completed the first episode of the documentary film series Don’t Hide The Scars Project.Flindt is a life-long Fresno, California resident. He credits his wife of 40+ years and his two sons to his continued successful recovery.✅ painnonprofit.org✅ flindtandersen.com✅ https://www.instagram.com/painnonprofit/✅ https://www.facebook.com/PAINnonprofit/✅ https://twitter.com/painnonprofit #addiction, #recovery, #sober, #sobriety Hosted on Acast.

Roger epitomizes what I am trying to illustrate here on 'Beyond Recovery'!This interview is incredible..."I am Roger Davies and welcome to my Adventure blog – here you will find information about me and my Journey of Recovery from Crime, Addiction and Cancer to Wild Adventures.On New Year’s Day 2020, I found myself standing in our hallway before two Guinness World Records with ‘Roger Davies’ inscribed on them. Every story has a beginning: mine started at the age of ten, when a surgeon told me I was disabled, never to enjoy physical activities again.Over time there have been many challenges and demons to fight in my ‘interesting’ roller coaster ride of a life. Through necessity and chance, from a violent criminal and alcoholic, I evolved into an entrepreneur, honorary eccentric, charity worker in Africa and an adventurer. More than half a century later, at the tender age of 71, on Mount Everest, I played in the two highest games of rugby in history, and entered the record books. I relish unusual experiences, from hard core expeditions, pulling my sled over some of the most desolate terrain on the planet, trekking 650 km from Resolute Bay in Canada to the North Pole, to the altitude problems of the world’s highest trek, in the Himalayas, and the fearsome heat of the Sahara. And then there are the extreme rowing challenges, including the brutal and, sadly, ultimately tragic world-record attempt to row across the violent, uncompromising North Atlantic in the world’s toughest rowing race.I like to think I have done all this with commitment, humour and unbridled enthusiasm. And I only achieved all this by remaining clean and sober, one day at a time, since 2 February 1981. As I have grown older, travelled more and become somewhat better informed, I have come to truly appreciate that time is my most precious resource. I accept that I am trekking, a day at a time, through life – just this once! I choose not to waste the adventure!Then, at 9.30 a.m. on 29 October 2020, I was given the diagnosis: I had the big C …And now begins possibly the most challenging and important journey of my life and one which, and I say this with humility, I intend to tackle using the life skills I have acquired in my career as an adventurer. Blessed am I to have the help and support of my wife, close friends, colleagues and an incredible medical team.As a cancer survivor, I was encouraged to paddle a single kayak across the English Channel from Dungeness, UK to Boulogne, France on 3 August 2021, celebrating six months, to the day, since my last chemotherapy cycle, and on 8 October kayaked the return journey. I smashed it both ways!While this is my story of transformation, I hope that others (maybe you) will read it and understand that there is no limitation to what human beings can achieve. If there is a message to this book it’s that I’m just an ordinary guy who went out and did extraordinary things."✅ www.rogerdavies.me.uk #addiction, #adventure, #alcoholfree, #motivation, #onestepatatime, #recovery, #sober, #sobriety Hosted on Acast.

The final moon of 2022 is the Cold Moon.Tonight's moon is a Gemini moon which captures the reflection of the past year, as well as the intentions for the upcoming year.This full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, which are near the December winter solstice. This name is doubly fitting because December’s full Moon shines above the horizon for a longer period of time than most full Moons.In most of North America, we will see the Moon drift very close to Mars and then obscure it entirely. This astronomical event is called a “lunar occultation.”HAPPY HOLIDAYS!...the next Full Moon is January 6th, 2023 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Simon Caruso is a podcaster, coach, and speaker in the area of transition, assisting people in transitioning from mundane and unrewarding lives to one in alignment with their core values and purpose.A first-generation Australian born to Italian migrants, Simon experienced a cultural upbringing based on strong family connections and a solid work ethic as essential ingredients to a successful life. He inherited these beliefs throughout his childhood and had a strong desire to live up to these expectations and make his parents proud.Having completed high school without a clear direction, he enrolled in University to fulfill his parents' wishes – by taking advantage of an opportunity they were never afforded in receiving a quality education, getting himself a good job, and ultimately earning good money in a specialized career.Having dropped out of University after 2 years, he began his career in the telecommunications industry and over the past 20 years has experienced various roles in different industries. His constant feelings of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment led him on a journey of self-development, where he has invested $100,000 and 10,000 hours over the past 6 years to discover how to find his own niche and has ultimately developed a strong passion for educating others on how to do the same.✅ www.facebook.com/simon.caruso✅ soundcloud.com/thelimitlessmanTo book a Discovery Call with Simon:calendly.com/simonscaruso Hosted on Acast.
