Moms of Addicts Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

This episode is for the Moms of addicts.
All of the emotions that you feel are real.. the guilt, shame, anger, fear... You can own whatever part of the journey that you feel is real and belongs to you--but you did not create their addiction and you are not the one that is going to save them from it. What you can do is love them unconditionally and meet them on the other side.
Together we can speak our truth, and develop practices to breathe and let go. We can’t stop the waves of struggle, but together we can learn how to surf.

ABC's of Mindfulness (C) Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Join us this week for the "C" in the ABC's of mindfulness-- connection, community, and compassion. Mindfulness brings our attention more present through deepening the breath and allowing us to see what brings us joy and what drains us. The more we practice, the more we can understand how we are feeling, struggling, and dealing with shame. Through connection and community we can see that we are not alone.

Addiction: Sonja Chevalier Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Sonia Chevalier is our guest this week. To describe her journey, she shares..
"Mom had me when she was a teenager, and her journey with addiction was just starting. To say I had a rocky childhood would be an understatement. As a teen my life became consumed with abuse, addiction, and mental illness. My road to recovery was messy and painful. I met some amazing women along the way, and they showed me how to walk through life while dealing with pain and trauma. They showed me that it is possible to let myself feel intense grief and shame, and that it was possible to do that without numbing myself with drugs and alcohol, or using the distraction of relationships. During these 9 years of recovery I've experienced some of the most incredible moments of my life. I've also experienced some of the most painful, heart wrenching experiences. I've learned that just because I got clean, life doesn't just fall into place and get better. I still have a mother who struggles with addiction and extreme mental illness. I still struggle with feelings of inadequacy and low self worth. I still have to push myself every day to be honest and do the right thing. It's not easy, but it's worth it."

We Can Do Hard Things Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

How do we keep holding on to hope when we continue to get hurt and manipulated by the addict?
Sometimes it seems impossible to stay on this journey as a mom, child, partner, grandmother, sibling... any of us that try to walk beside the addict. We compromise our integrity and resiliency to try and understand and live with the fear of relapse. There is so much collateral damage the addict leaves in their wake. How do we let go, set boundaries, heal and find our way forward?
