EP27 - Third Act Thursday || My Trip Back Home

In this edition of Third Act Thursday I recount the anchor for my latest sobriety streak (of over 1100 days!)
What propelled me to this decision, and what helped anchor it.

As well as the wonderful events that happened immediately after making this decision and how those have continued to affect my sobriety in a positive way.

EP24 - Mindshift Monday || Collapsed Distinctions

"A collapsed distinction occurs when a person is not distinguishing between two emotions/beliefs/concepts. The collapse of the two emotions/beliefs/concepts is often a barrier to moving the person forward".

Today, I discuss my own collapsed distinctions around my addictions and the behaviours and emotions I so powerfully associated with them.

Welcome to the Full Moon Event for April! 🌕

Today's Full Moon is the "Pink Moon" and is at its height at 1pm MST - which just so happens to be as we are recording!!

Darci gives us the rundown, as usual :)

Here is a good link for what this moon means:
https://www.nylon.com/life/april-2022-full-pink-moon-libra-spiritual-meaning

"April, famously the cruellest month, has actually been home to 2022’s most psychedelic astrology. Along with historic Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in the dreamy waters of Pisces, April’s cosmic weather also boasts a boundary-less Pisces stellium and an incoming solar eclipse on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. If that sounds like a lot, that’s because it is — but fear not! The universe is doling out some much-needed balance in the form of a full moon in Libra. This lunation, also known as the Pink Moon, operates in harmony, and who among us can’t use an extra boost of Venusian stability?"

Reframing things is all about changing perspective.

Megan has a great example of her reframing...we also discuss how the thought of death can snap you out of your funk.

Megan has quite the story from 2019, after the birth of her twin girls.
She had a case of post-partum depression that lasted over a year.
She learned some life lessons the hard way and came out the other side a much healthier and happier person!

More of her story to come :)
