THIS WEEK'S AFFIRMATION "I am free of worry and regret. And so it is!" Hi,  Happy Sacred Sunday! Wow is it good to be back with uploading episodes, connecting with all of you on social media, and writing this newsletter! I am so grateful for the thousands of you who have already listened to the first episode of RFR COMING UP ON RECOVERING FROM REALITY In this week's episode of Recovering From Reality, I am joined by my wonderful partner, Evan Haines. We take a deep dive into our relationships and how we came to the decision to open up our marriage after 10 years of monogamy. We are answering your questions from the ask me anything I posted a few weeks ago and we cover a range of topics like how did we decide to become ethically non-monogamous, how we told our children, what our sex life looks like now and how we handle feelings of jealousy. ASK ALEXIS "What was it like coming out and sharing your sexuality with your community?"  - Jenn (via Instagram) What happens to our bodies when we show up as our authentic selves?⁣ ⁣ Well, when we have a history of trauma sometimes our nervous systems can’t distinguish the difference between a threat and excitement. So for me owning all of the parts that make up Alexis hasn’t been easy. ⁣ ⁣ In this patriarchal society that we live in, all the parts that make up me are deemed messy and dirty. ⁣ ⁣ Over the last 6 months of coming fully out as a Bi woman to my family, who leans more towards gay than straight, my body has needed time to adjust. ⁣ ⁣ I have felt physically ill at times with overwhelming feelings and emotions that sometimes override my system and throw me into a panic. ⁣ ⁣ Shame creeps in. ⁣ ⁣ Am I strong enough to do this? ⁣ ⁣ And then I finally pulled the trigger and came out to you all yesterday. And of course, you all loved me when I felt scared and un-lovable.⁣ ⁣ And while owning my sexuality hasn’t been easy, I feel more aligned and free than I probably ever have been. I feel like I’m home in my own body. ⁣Aligning with my theme of 2021: welcome home. ⁣ How lucky am I to have a supportive partner and a community like you guys to hold me when I needed it?! So damn lucky. ⁣ ⁣ A community who’s been so patient as I put my podcast on hold to do some more soul work. ⁣ ⁣ I love you guys. I’m so grateful to be able to show up here and be myself. ⁣ I hope my work inspires you and leaves you KNOWING that you’re not alone Xx, Alexis submit your question to Alexis Ep. 114 Welcome Home listen to the episode now Support Our Podcast Sponsors and Get Great Deals!

Free Virtual Family Education Workshop: "Awakening to Your Story"

Join us for our virtual Family Education Fundamentals Series! Awakening to Your Story A Two-Part Presentation Monday, November 8th AND Monday, November 15th  |  7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Commitment to both sessions is expected  |  Join us virtually on Zoom  A full story begins with a problem to be solved.  In families dealing with substance use disorder, family members can be bogged down with that particular issue; but what is their individual journey, the tales of parents, siblings, or partners?  “Awakening to Your Story” is a two-part, interactive workshop during which we will investigate: What is working in your life?  What is not?  What stories have we been telling ourselves, and is it possible to tell a new one?  We will investigate these questions, the dynamics that created them, and how they weave into every aspect of our lives, using practical tools to uncover them.  Participants will need to bring a notebook—unlined—and a pen to the sessions and be prepared to write and discuss the old stories and re-write new stories for their lives.   Cost - Free! This event is sponsored by the generosity of Jay and Lauren Springer. Although the event is free, registration is required. Register Now Who Should Attend this Program? "Awakening to Your Story" is part of the specialized series of Caron’s Family Support Services.  Any family member who has been impacted by a loved one’s substance use disorder will benefit from participating in this webinar.   Sign Up to Attend Meet the Presenter Karen Fitzgerald Actress, singer, writer, and public speaking coach  After growing up in an alcoholic home and then leaving an addicted husband, Karen began a spiritual journey that took her first to recovery programs, then Breakthrough at Caron in 2006, then India! How India followed Breakthrough is a mystical mystery, which she tried to answer in her solo show comedy, “Hot Mama Mahatma!” Her theatre skills led her to become a public speaking consultant to international Fortune 100 companies, then to her private work at Caron with many of the testimonial speakers seen at the major galas and fundraising events over the past several years. She maintains a private practice teaching people the art of public speaking and storytelling and is delighted to work with the folks at Caron.
