THIS WEEK'S AFFIRMATION "I trust the process of life. And so it is!" This month we're focusing on suicide awareness + mental health! Last week, I did a solo Q+A episode on my experience struggling with suicidal ideation, tips for supporting someone struggling, and Evan's perspective as someone who lost a loved one to suicide—find the link to this down below! Tomorrow, we're continuing this discussion with Tara Bixby and normalizing struggling with suicidal ideation. Below, you'll also find podcast deals, a free guided meditation from LRC, and more! Hope you enjoy! Xx, Alexis COMING UP ON RECOVERING FROM REALITY In tomorrow's episode, I’m joined by Tara Bixby, LPC a therapist, activist, and anxiety coach working to change the mental health narrative.  We discuss… - Tara’s journey from cosmetologist, to 911 dispatcher, to clinician in an all-male prison, to an anxiety coach and therapist  - The prevalence of suicide in the United States and why we need to normalize mental health challenges - How everyone is susceptible to mental health challenges - The impact of the nervous system on our mental health - Why it’s important to move away from identifying as your mental illness diagnosis  - The first steps you should take if you’re struggling with severe depression and suicidality  - Healing after a suicide attempt  ASK ALEXIS "Any advice on finding a good rehab? So many are awful I know, and I’m not really at a bottom or need help with withdrawal - just looking to kick my last addiction to weed and look at everything below it (which wasn’t really a problem until I quit everything else and started working from home 24/7) I have insurance and the privilege to take time off work, so it seems worth considering as a gift to myself mostly and the entrance to a new life of complete sobriety and recovery."  - Alexandra (via RFR Facebook Group) Hey Alexandra!
