HLS S1E15: Learning Our Brains with Gill Tietz

We're ending our first season by interviewing a guest we've long admired: Gill Tietz, creator and host of the Sober Powered podcast and YouTube channel! Gill is a sober scientist and public educator who interprets research on alcohol use disorder and recovery in terms anyone can understand. She's a pioneering voice in the recovery community, and we loved our conversation on the many empowering benefits of understanding our brains. In this episode, Adrienne also brings you a BIG SOBER ENERGY tip about reframing the "to do" list approach to recovery and structuring sober life more sustainably. Finally, Erin leads us in a delicious movement sequence designed to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system. We'll be back in the fall with more episodes! In the meantime, have a great summer, and keep in touch on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/revarecovery/] and in our Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/revarecovery]!

HLS S1E14: Perks and Pitfalls of Vacationing Sober

It's finally summer, and we're gearing up to get out of town! Vacations used to be drinking marathons for both of us, but (thankfully) we now have more time and headspace to spare while traveling. This week, we're focusing on how to plan for your sober vacation and maximize the benefits of being more present and hangover-free. Adrienne's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip reminds us that we don't have to live-stream our travels to prove we're having fun, and Erin leads us in a mindful knee bend that captures the power in tension and opposition. Doors are currently open for the spring/summer Intensive cohort. If you're curious, book a free visioning session with Adrienne or Erin, and we'll answer all your questions!

HLS S1E13: The REVA Intensive

Erin's on mom duty today, so Adrienne goes solo to answer your questions about the REVA Intensive! From the philosophies and beliefs that underpin the program to the nuts and bolts of exactly what it means to be a REVA student, she breaks it all down. She also explains how the Intensive differs from 12-steps and traditional treatment programs in structure and focus. In addition to answering our most frequently asked questions, Adrienne also leads a guided visualization designed to help you connect to feelings of safety and freedom.

HLS S1E12: Speaking Light Into Abortion with Amanda Star Kingsley

This week, we learned via a leaked Supreme Court opinion that the Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade; given this news, we decided to release an episode on the topic of abortion from Season 4 of Adrienne's other podcast, Feminist Hotdog [https://feeds.captivate.fm/feminist-hotdog/]. We at REVA have always centered bodily autonomy in our recovery work and feel strongly that scaling back access to abortion institutionalizes body terrorism. We hope this episode inspires you as a human and inspires you to fight this decision if it comes to pass. ___ What do you feel when you hear the word abortion? What words do you associate with it? If you’re Amanda Star Kingsley, those words might be fear or sadness but they might also be strength, purpose, and light. Amanda is a post-abortion life coach. Her mission is to help people achieve the vision for their lives that compelled them to choose abortion. Through her coaching and her podcast, Speaking Light Into Abortion, Amanda is smashing stigmas and asking critical—and sometimes messy—questions designed to help her clients embrace their agency and move forward in confidence. Regardless of your relationship to abortion, prepare to feel a paradigm shift during this powerful conversation.

HLS S1E11: Pets, Plants & Recovery

When it comes to almost any recovery team, pets are the real MVPs. In this episode, we talk through a long list of ways caring for pets (and plants!) can support us emotionally, physically, and mentally as we learn to live without drugs and alcohol. We also share personal stories about the dogs who saved us at different low points in our lives and the lessons they taught us along the way. Even our BIG SOBER ENERGY tip is dog-themed! The next session of our Intensive program starts soon! We're opening five spots for new students who are either transitioning to a zero-proof lifestyle or want to deepen their recovery experience using our groundbreaking, holistic, and trauma-informed method. If that sounds like you, contact us at the links below to schedule your free visioning session. Related Links * "How do Pets Make a Difference in Addiction Recovery?
