It’s not a ride I want to be on, and I’ve been on it enough times already. But I find myself back and feeling all the emotions that come when you discover your loved one has relapsed.

Unfortunately, it’s a real piece of recovery. And during this honest and open episode, I let you in on what’s been happening in my world and what I have been doing to try and take care of myself. In order to move forward when our loved one has moved back towards their addiction and away from recovery, we must focus on self-care and I give some tips on how I do that for myself.

I also answer a listener’s question about how to recognize relapse, some of the signs, both physical and emotional. And if you’ve been here before, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

Listen in to this episode as I go deep into the pain and frustration that surrounds relapse and remind myself about ways to effectively manage it and make sure I am staying healthy. This is an all too common occurrence for all of us working through addiction, and it never will be painless, but it can be easier.

I love you and I am sending you all my best wishes. Try to find those moments of joy, live in the moment, appreciate yourself, and connect with others who can support you on this challenging path.

Beyond Hope with Shar Jones

The topic today is eroticism, which is our unique fingerprint of what turns us on. It’s a set of things or the theme of things that really arouses us – that we find highly interesting and erotic. We all have the things that we prefer in sex and things that we find more arousing than others. This is a useful concept and area of inquiry if we’re going to make our sex life as good as we can.

Frees Us from Guilt and Shame

I find eroticism fascinating. And one of the theories that I subscribe to was developed by Michael Bader, who wrote a great book called Arousal: The Secret Logic of Sexual Fantasies. He talks about how our eroticism, what we find especially arousing, frees us from guilt and shame. It moves those obstacles out of the way so that we can be fully aroused.

I give a great example of what Mr. Bader means, and if you are interested in learning more, I highly recommend the book in terms of trying to figure out why exactly does your eroticism exist? What does it absolve you of or relieve for you?

Why is Eroticism Important?

In some ways, you may have been going along having sex with your partner for a long time. It hasn’t been highly erotic, and it’s been just fine, and that’s part of the problem. We tend, over time, to come down to what a colleague of mine called “lowest common denominator sex.” How do we get to this point and what do we do to move beyond this level? It’s important to understand that maybe there’s room to explore what could reenergize your sex life.

We Need More Fuel for the Fire

Not only is our sex life becoming a little bit more predictable if we’re with the same partner usually, but we tend to need more fuel on the fire to get aroused or to reach an orgasm as we age, as we have more stress, as we have more responsibilities. So, tapping into our eroticism is a great way to up the stimulation because that is mental stimulation. If you’ve ever heard the saying that our brain is our biggest sex organ, that’s what that means to me. I explain it further during the episode.

Mental stimulation has a lot of power. And if we add that, we get our brain engaged and highly charged, and that’s a lot of energy for our sex life. That added stimulation makes it much, much easier to get aroused or reach orgasm, especially as we get older in terms of what we need to really get turned on.

Your Eroticism is Revealed in Different Ways

If you think about the best sex you’ve ever had or the sex that was the most exciting or what you like to do, that might point you in the direction of what you find highly arousing.

A place you could also look is in your reaction to sexual or romantic material. There is so much out there, and we don’t respond equally to all of it. We’re going to be drawn towards things that shine a light on what we find erotic. Watch for those things. And if you haven’t noticed that or you’re not coming across it, maybe seek out some erotic material on purpose and test the waters.

Another place you can look for your eroticism is in your sexual fantasies. If you fantasize, or if you could begin to fantasize about purely erotic material, your own creations really reflect your eroticism. This works because we don’t put stuff in there that doesn’t work for us. If you want to examine your sexual fantasies, spend a little bit of time there, maybe write some of these out. That can be a great place to identify the themes of what turns you on.

Once You Understand Your Eroticism

The next step is to share that with your partner. To learn theirs and to share yours with them. I can’t stress this enough – adopt a stance of curiosity without judgment. Set the stage to have a welcoming conversation and start to explore what really turns you each on without any sense that you must do anything about this yet, or that it means that anything is good...

Welcome to Episode 6 of Building My Legacy.

In this episode, Denise Hummel , J. D., and Lois Sonstegard discuss why a process of inclusion is essential for the health and well-being of an organization and its employees. Without inclusion employees lack a sense of hope and become disengaged from the workplace. On the other hand, as inclusive work environments are created, leaders emerge who passionately work to improve the lives of not only their employees but of their communities, both near and far. This is the essence of legacy building.

So if you want to:

- Understand the concept of “belonging” in an organizational context
- Know the single most essential ingredient for organizational connection
- Understand the importance of hope for the sustainability of a thriving organization
- Prevent spending time shutting people down (you’re different from me) rather than helping people to open up
- Know the 3 basic and foundational ingredients for inclusion in organizations

Tune in now!

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- Why is hope the essential ingredient underlying engagement and inclusion.
- The three R’s of inclusion:
- Receptive—the ability to accept and be curious about one another
- Reflective-the ability to be self-aware of our own biases and the ability to be transparent about our decision-making based upon our biases
- Revitalizing—the ability to be our best selves so that we can inspire others based upon their observed behavior of us
- Re-What can Executive Teams do to get the most out of their Boards of Director?
- The essential ingredient to legacy building: impacting people’s lives for the better.

Where have you been Girl Boss? This episode is the first of a series of eight podcasts around being a Girl Boss and a new success path to really establish being who you are. I’m going to cover the shifts and all the stages it takes to become an effective girl boss and really build a long-term business strategy.

Step one is about being unapologetically who you are. I have chosen my ideal client avatars for each of these eight steps. Joining me on this episode is Robin Miller, who is absolutely the most shining example I can possibly imagine of someone who has become completely unapologetically who she is.

She shares her amazing story of transformation, from “Squirrel” to Girl Boss. (Well, we do see that the Squirrel-like tendencies are innate and can be hard to shake!) But she has, in a relatively short period of time, completely changed from someone who would “cocoon” in a bathtub to a beautiful butterfly.

“There are times where I couldn’t handle it inside my skin anymore from the pain. And imagine 80 to 90% of that being able to be fixed, be corrected by learning about yourself. And you know, it’s huge. This is the biggest thing of my life.”

We also talk about the power of healthy detachment, just stepping back when shit gets ugly, looking at the situation, and not getting emotionally involved. Detachment doesn’t mean “not caring.” We can still love them, we can still be in relationship with them, but by choosing to get off that bad rollercoaster ride, we will be healthier.

Another critical piece to Robin’s path to becoming a Girl Boss was investing in herself and building a foundation. It also helped immensely to partner with someone who could take her “back seat” projects, letting go of those tasks, and relieving her of stress and a huge emotional energy drain.

There’s so much to our conversation, but by understanding who she is and accepting it, stepping back from unhealthy things and allowing more space for the good stuff, Robin has discovered she can be the best version of herself.

This episode definitely highlights some essential pieces to getting off on the right foot when you are following the Girl Boss pathway. Thanks again for listening, I appreciate it so, so much!

Front Seat Life Podcast

In his twenties and early thirties, Tom had developed a lifestyle that centered on alcohol and cocaine. Although he had stopped excessive drinking and drug use, a number of things happened in a short period of time which led him back to that lifestyle. He was wrongfully fired from a high-profile job in 2009 in a public and embarrassing manner. Then in January of 2010, when his colleague’s 18-year-old son was paralyzed from the neck down after a snowboarding accident, he agreed to assist with her law practice for a year to allow her to take time to care for her son. Just months later, in March of 2010, his brother was similarly paralyzed from the neck down in a ski accident and he wound up becoming intimately involved in his daily care and rehabilitation in Maine. In June of the same year, his mother was diagnosed with throat cancer, which had Tom running back and forth to Albany to assist in taking his Mom to chemotherapy treatments and other doctor appointments.

Taking on all of these new responsibilities, on top of running his own law firm, was extremely overwhelming. Given the utter lack of even minimal help from other family members in dealing with his brother’s accident and other issues, Tom returned to his reliance on alcohol and drugs as a crutch to keep up with all of these demands.

This resulted in Tom winding up at rehab in upstate New York in May of 2011. When he entered rehab he was 140 pounds, had bleeding gums from frequent cocaine use, cardiac and pulmonary problems from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, and was near bankruptcy. There was no doubt Tom was a mess. When he left rehab one month later, Tom was 177 pounds with a muffin top, his gums were healing, and he faced the challenge of cleaning up the messes created in every aspect of his life.

Nutrition, exercise and a regular twelve-step practice have helped Tom overcome these obstacles. In the last five years, he has rarely been sick; he set out to eat right and exercise every day and on August 1, 2015, Tom won a physique contest for men over 35.

Tom has made all his financial amends and no longer has the specter of bankruptcy hanging over his head. He was certified as a personal trainer in sports nutrition and weight management, all while maintaining a thriving law practice. After two years of freedom from alcohol and drugs, Tom was able to give up cigarettes and nicotine.

In 2013, Tom graduated from the Institute for Integrated Nutrition. He has been free of alcohol and drugs since May 11, 2011, and cigarettes and nicotine since September 27, 2013. Tom measures his success by the differences between the life he was living when I entered rehab and his life today. It seems like looking back on a different person and a different lifetime. Through the grace of God, and by utilizing the twelve-steps and tools in this book, Tom was able to achieve his goals of sobriety and overall health.
