Love This Food Thing

Healing From Abuse and Starvation with Alix Nugent


Listen Later

Alix was punished with starvation and isolation by some of the nuns at her Catholic Boarding School.

“I remember being locked in the attic looking out the window and one of the girls said, there’s Alix. I shouted down, I’ve had no food and these girls who weren’t normally nice to me - they used to call me orphan - opened up their lunch boxes and threw their food up trying to get it through the window.  I remember chocolate digestives flying through the air and hitting the floor. I was so grateful.”

Alix binges to soothe her fear. Sometimes, she feels guilty, but she’s learning to let herself off the hook. 

Alix hails from a mediumistic family and was aligned with the laws of Buddhism long before she established her chanting practice. Alix’s belief that she came into this life to learn compassion helps her deal with the extreme nature of her experiences.  

Alix works as a psychic, intuitive tarot reader with a gift for seeing the circumstances of someone’s life, reading their karma and helping them get to a happier place. 

If there was ever an example of releasing trauma and the past with love and understanding then Alix is it!

Must listen. Tune in!

P.S. Alix is the best tarot reader I’ve ever seen.
