In this episode, my beloved and my oldest daughter share what they've learned through multiple relapses from drug addiction and how those lessons have contributed to their evolution. One doesn't HAVE to relapse but we also need to accept that it is often a part of the process of upleveling any part of our life we may be trying to transform.

This conversation isn't just for addicts and those who love them. Whether you are struggling to make a lifestyle change, failing repeatedly with a diet or quitting smoking, or sabotaging your relationships or anything else that qualifies as an attempt to better your life, we can all learn something valuable through what they share. We don't have to wallow in shame every time we experience a perceived failure. Don't miss the sage wisdom that Ray and Michael offer for reframing our thoughts and perceptions and diffusing shame!

In a world that often has us in a chronic state of fight or flight and offers no shortage of worries and distractions, it's easy to lose our connection to the peace and power that we all have access to. It's always there, within us, waiting for us to remember. It's always waiting with open arms for us to turn inward and reestablish that sacred connection. You have everything you need to be your own best resource as the parent, lover, guru, protector and provider that you have been longing for.

In this episode, hear my oldest daughter, Ray, give a very transparent share about her Fentanyl addiction and how it began long before the actual drug use. We break down certain myths about drug addiction and recovery and discuss the ways that most (if not ALL) of us are subject to addictions to some degree...addictions that can take us far from showing up as the person we want to be and from the life we deeply long to be living.

Recovery, which is basically a road map for becoming the best version of yourself, is for everyone, not just the drug addict or the alcoholic.

There's so much to say about Authenticity and the impact it has on our mental health and our legacy. It's the difference between living a life you tolerate and a life of purpose, passion and pleasure. This is a topic that deserves an entire series (that will definitely be happening) but for this episode, I focused on some of the most important elements to living the unique life and expression we are designed for and avoiding the traps of becoming targets for manipulation and emotional or spiritual sedation.

Join me and my youngest daughter, Drey, for a transparent conversation about the impact your personal mental health (or lack of) has on society/the collective. One person can make an enormous difference and it all matters when it comes to the work we do on our own mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. Hear Drey share about navigating addiction and recovery, along with modalities that we both have found helpful along our healing path.
