Deeper Life

Our choices are our own... right? We make choices big and small every single day. What motivates and influences those choices? Are we aware of the outside forces that subconsciously play a role in our decision making?

From long distance dating to a long distance marriage, Chelsea and I host an honest conversation around the hard parts of long distance that you don’t always hear about. If you are “doing” long distance right now, we’re bringing a safe space to feel, think and talk through things with your partner. We cover communication, navigating the opinions of others and also, the good that comes out of the journey.

Healing is such a journey. We go through seasons where we are focused on our healing and other seasons where we are resting from the work. I'm in a season of deep healing and I share my journey through different experiences that have lead me to where I am now.

In this episode of the Deeper Life Podcast, Victoria Garrick and I chat through mental health, the effects of social media on your mental health, as well as, our body image. We also talk about her journey of building her business as a millennial woman and more. I hope you enjoy this raw, authentic conversation around the “hidden opponent” that we call our mental health.

I am so honored to have, the Holistic Psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera on the podcast today. She has built an amazing community of individuals who are focused on healing themselves, understanding their past and recognizing their patterns. This episode is so powerful as we dig into several deep topics surrounding psychotherapy, healing and more. We also talk about Dr. LePera’s new book called “How to Do the Work”.

Alexis shares the importance of investing in yourself, whether it be with your time, energy, or finances.

Often times, fear gets in the way of our growth and potential more than we'd like it to. In this episode, Alexis is joined by the Deeper Life resident therapist Marléne Rose Shaw to talk through all things fear.

Doing deep emotional work, building awareness and healing can be overwhelming and exhausting. That's why it's important to incorporate playfulness, intentional breaks, and fun into your everyday life. Giving ourselves the space to embrace our inner playful child is our chance to step away from the serious, focused, driven version of ourselves and tap into the playful, curious, open-minded version of our inner child.

Needing a break from pretty much everything? You're not alone. In this episode, Alexis talks through the default reaction to overwhelm and stress is to turn towards our numbing mechanisms. Alcohol, shopping, isolation, social media, etc. There are so many ways we numb our real feelings.

In this episode, Alexis is joined by the Deeper Life Resident Therapist, Marléne Rose Shaw, and they discuss how to manage and acknowledge all of the emotions that accompany the holiday season.
