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."

Hey Alexandra!

As you may know, Evan and I run a rehab center—Oro Recovery (formerly Alo House)! 

The Oro House holistic, non-12 step rehab treatment program offers a complete and comprehensive recovery solution that includes:
+ Crisis Intervention
+ Drug and Alcohol Detox
+ Dual Diagnosis Treatment of addiction and mental health combined
+ Residential Inpatient Treatment for 30, 60, or 90+ days
+ Outpatient Treatment Program

Our treatment program emphasizes “Connection Not Control” to empower our clients to achieve autonomy and build life skills that are necessary for a lasting and fulfilling recovery.

I also want to link their Instagram page and the Oro blog as we have loads of resources for navigating sobriety, supporting loved ones, and working through mental health challenges.

I hope this helps! For more info on Oro you can check out their website or call (866) 438-0422.

Overview:

ADHD is a common comorbidity with addiction and mental health disorders. The field of neuroscience has taught us how to get to the root cause of ADHD symptoms and how to correct the defects that cause symptoms. Join us to learn everything you need to know about ADHD. Oftentimes professionals working with clients with ADHD are at a loss for treatment options beyond medication. There are many options touted to help but it can be confusing to know which treatments are actually effective and worth trying. We’ll cover the relationship between ADHD and addiction, symptoms, diagnosis, and research-based options for treatments that work!

Participants Will:

  • Learn the relationship between addiction, mental health, and ADHD and options for diagnosis
  • Understand the root cause of ADHD
  • Explore non-medication treatments that work
