Sober Yoga Girl || Alex McRobert

SOBER YOGA GIRL: Available Now.  [https://www.amazon.com/Sober-Yoga-Girl-Alexandra-McRobert/dp/1739094379/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2S96RJ5LCZL00&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NW4DJbg1A8VwwHfzmoDlviUjWQpK6o60wPAi0iCTM1wzVDG2mC2IYCOv0Djf9IZ5KuSFmK-iszB609_3lXgxYbNQGXm5NA8db83WYdnkHf1sXT6r1Jf6BxzPdro-yCluQnQUjndRtUOrMmnOA3vRbrWXw_E6G_2tQMEwUF8VrQ4YWP-HfNGjz9WiwHha-hHHhZ9rYAS59shNTix_h7gF838Gi_s0oEOszs0o-F1CqsQ.Vk9we-3KS5uotLxWuOXxiefHcNYwCtX-QbSnlLt2bXw&dib_tag=se&keywords=sober+yoga+girl+book&qid=1726096920&sprefix=sober+yoga+%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-1] Fourteen months after I got sober, I started writing.  I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it.  I just knew that once I began, I couldn’t stop.  It felt like I was digging myself out of a deep, dark hole with every word I put on the page.  What I discovered was I actually wasn’t just a “Former Party Girl” 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ but actually a girl who was really really sad and searching for solutions at the bottom of a bottle.  Step 4 of the 12 step program is to make a “searching and fearless moral inventory” and writing this book was an inventory for me. What are my problems? How have they affected me and others around me? How can I proceed to recovery?  This story started out as a personal project. And then, the deeper I got into my work in sobriety, the more I realized how universal pain is. And how our stories become other people’s survival guides. And so the book took on greater meaning.  I spent one whole year working with @salonilakhia [https://www.instagram.com/salonilakhia/] from 2020-2021 on this. I cried and cried over zoom as she dissected my work. After we finished, I then proceeded to let the book sit on my hard drive, which I’m grateful for. In that time a number of conflicts with myself and others came to conclusion that altered the way I saw the world and the message of the book.  I worked with the incredible @smillman0 [https://www.instagram.com/smillman0/] who dissected this book yet again, and transformed it. Finally with @fuzzyflamingodesign [https://www.instagram.com/fuzzyflamingodesign/] for the final layout. Many friends read the book and gave me feedback. And finally - four years, three editors, 67 chapters and over 115,000 words - Sober Yoga Girl is almost here. ❤️✨ It’s coming soon. If you want to be the first to know when it’s out head to www.soberyogagirl.com and drop your email.  When Taylor Swift released TTPD, she wrote on Instagram, “This period of the authors life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.” ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/alexmcrobs/ [https://www.instagram.com/alexmcrobs/] https://www.instagram.com/themindfullifepractice/ [https://www.instagram.com/themindfullifepractice/] https://stan.store/alexmcrobs [https://stan.store/alexmcrobs] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

'Sound Therapy & Holistic Health' || MAYARA SOUZA

Today, we talk about Sound Therapy & Holistic Health with my guest - Mayara Souza! (**special shout-out to the American gypC Podcast for introducing Mayara and me!) Her bio: "Mayara grew up in Brazil and she had to overcome a very adverse and traumatic childhood. She has a history of physical, mental and sexual abuse that led her into an intense dependency on alcohol since her early years. Mayara finally moved to America in her mid twenties when she started her healing process that continues to evolve every day. Today, after a decade of healing work and extensive research on trauma and consciousness, she is a certified Sound Therapist and uses acoustic sound to relax the nervous system helping her clients to release emotions that might be trapped somewhere in the body causing mental, physical, and emotional unbalance and distress." Topics include: - poor background - growing up with a scarcity mentality - her father passed away at age 37 (she was only 4) - got into drinking in her early teens - had a fantasy to move to the USA through movies - alcohol was a tool to escape - moved to USA in her mid-20s - she discovered she had been drinking to erase the trauma of her childhood - going on a big journey of heeling and self-discovery - why do we meditate? - "hygiene for the mind" - allowing flexibility to your daily routines Find Mayara online 👀 ✅ https://mayara-souza.com [https://mayara-souza.com/] ✅ https://www.instagram.com/iammayarasouza [https://www.instagram.com/iammayarasouza] ✅ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClMY0Xiib8HkYUwkDs7RMyw [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClMY0Xiib8HkYUwkDs7RMyw] ✅ https://www.facebook.com/mayarasouzaholisticwellness [https://www.facebook.com/mayarasouzaholisticwellness] PS: Mayara has a 30-Day Challenge for you at the end of the podcast!!
