  • Hey lovelies, I think I’ve landed on the name change for our group.
    Recovered Soul Healing Circle…
    You are going to start to see some changes to the platform. We will be caring on just the same until about May or June when I will start enrollment for the next name and experience. I will be changing our format around so please know things will…[Read more]

  • Accountability check-in…self-care this week has looked like:
    -buying a new coffee to savor and try on a cold Saturday
    -lighting a candle and listening to a song to remember a friend I lost and have been missing a lot lately (I swear I felt her hand on my shoulder)
    -Sitting in the dark and listening to a short guided meditation
    Thanks for helping…[Read more]

  • Great call the other day. Thanks to Bev, Jane,Tami and Misty for your openness and heart centered ways of showing up for the call.

    I woke up on Sunday missing my daughter who lives in Nicaragua. She called within 5 minutes which was a surprise. We had such a fun time sharing what we did for ourselves for Happy Galentines Day. Really it’s about not waiting for someone else to do something for you (which can be a blessing) but taking the power back for self care. We both had m…[Read more]

    • Acknowledging you for listening to your ‘no’ and voicing it even when it makes someone else uncomfortable. I’ve been noticing how things unfold sometimes at a different pace then my mind may expect or want. I’ve been leaning into spirit more, letting go to the attachment that I may know the timeline of grace. I know you to be really good at making…[Read more]

      • Thanks Bev.
        I am feeling the “vault” within that is containing things like peace and self love. I was scared to admit that I chose the word abundance for the year…….. but now I am experiencing this energy in a whole new realm that is the felt within me. What a surprise. Continuing to do my work but also letting go of all the little sto…[Read more]

    • Beautiful share Tami. Honoring your no and grateful for your deeply happy week to add to the collective consciousness.

    • Galentine’s Day is a new one to me! Love it 🙂 Something about following your process is so peaceful to me, fluid and comfortable. Love to read your shares.

    • This is wonderful, Tami. So great to hear about your connection with your daughter and your practice of self-care and saying no. Cheering you on 🙂

  • I love that on the last call Bev pointed out my uplevel in self care could be just committing to one small thing everyday rather than a walk specifically. Because it really is about me keeping a promise to myself everyday and learning to trust myself. And accepting loving toward myself. So Tues I went for a walk and felt great. It was just what I…[Read more]

  • Thank you for an amazing call yesterday. If you missed it, please share your insights and learnings with us when you listen to the replay. It was a profound call. I left feeling especially connected. Lots of great insights coming in for all of us. I love that we share in a sisterhood and brotherhood of inner wisdom.

    Grateful to be on the call. I will be processing the questions. I stepped out of my comfort zone by posting a video today. On to the next 3 foot toss. 🙂

    • That call was profoundly helpful, glad to be on there with you Tami. I feel more centered and more direction on the work I need to do and yet more compassion toward my process too. Congrats on posting the video, I went for my first walk…onward we go 🙂

      • Great job Jane!

      • Thanks Jane, So glad to be with you on the call. I was thinking today about what if my love is redirected to “what I love” not who loves me. For some reason it has upped my peace and cleared my thought processes. I am glad to hear about your self compassion. Good for your follow through and taking the next step or 3 foot toss! I am trying to…[Read more]

    • Yes, Tami! Great job on the video!

  • Thank you for all the bday love. I’m basking in appreciation today. Actualizing has been really important to me and my soul. I’m happy to say I’m where I want to be in life. I’m also happy to say that I still have some goals I’m working towards. I’ve got some business goals I would like to have in place by the time I’m 40. And Richard and I have…[Read more]

    I went to a Vinyasa yoga class this week and am very happy to have added yoga to my activities that I do as part of my self care. I feel it really helps to connect my body and mind. The breathing focus ties into meditation, which I feel has been a key factor into understanding myself better. I also did one yoga video on my own., That was short of…[Read more]

  • I was able to take my sister out for breakfast and tea today for her birthday. It felt really good to be present to my sis. I gave her a deck of cards and we pulled cards during breakfast. It was fun and created a great conversation that was deep and connected. I keep pulling a meditation card that says to listen for guidance in the silence. I will follow.

    • That’s one of the best feelings I’ve received from sobriety, being able to be present for people I care about. Sounds like it was a lovely breakfast.

      • It really was a great breakfast. My sister is 13 years older than me and it’s so amazing how much growth I’ve had in the last 11 years. We have such a different relationship now that I am older and living substance-free.

    • I love being able to be in the present moment when I am with family and friends. Sounds like a beautiful time with your sister!

  • Wishing you all a great weekend! This is my birthday weekend. Just a heads up I’m going to be taking Monday off.

    Great webinar Bev. I’m setting my 3 foot toss for this month to lose 2.5 pounds and drink 75 Oz of water per day. I’ll be tracking my food, activity and weight in the weight Watchers app and logging my water intake and counting steps with my fitbit app. This will help me hit my goal well ahead of my November wedding.

    • Congrats on the wedding. You’ve got some great support and accountability in place through your apps and wedding. How can you use the Lab for support this month?

    • Awesome Stephanie! I just joined WW a couple of weeks ago. I find being part of a program is motivating for me. I love the app – tracking my food and activity. I am looking forward to shedding 30lbs over the course of the next year. I”ve done it before, but it came back on without the accountability and tracking. Looking forward to your…[Read more]

      • Thanks Misty! I’ve already lost 13 pounds with weight watchers and now working to meet my goal. We can do this!

  • Chas posted an update 7 years, 9 months ago

    As far as money goes I spend more than I make. I used to just blows things off all the time when I was drinking never caring about the consequences. Now I have started to get my finances back on track and am slowly working to being on track. I am finally handling all of my bills and old debts which is painful but feels good to finally feel…[Read more]

    • Chas, great to hear you open to learning this month and turning things around for yourself in this area so that you can continue to make choices that are going to get you further along in your journey.

    • Gosh Chas, I could’ve written that myself. Looking forward to upleveling with ya!

  • Self-Forgiveness Process

    Judgements:
    • People are better than me
    • I am a victim
    • I think I am always wrong

    Forgiveness Statements:
    • I forgive myself for buying into the misperception that people are better than me.
    • I forgive myself for judging myself as a victim.
    • I forgive myself for buying into the misperception that I always thin…[Read more]

  • Wanted to let you all know that enrollment for The Recovery Life Lab will be changing. You will see a series of emails next week that are going out to my list, letting folks know that the doors to The Lab will be closing until 2018. I’m only going to open enrollment to the list twice a year. I’m working on streamlining my different offers and this…[Read more]

    • Great idea! So given we are currently part of the lab, we will remain, correct?

      • You all are set! Nothing changing for you and your membership. Just wanted to be communicative as you might see new people adding in. It’s important to me to be as communicative as possible. You will be seeing some emails this week about this.

  • Hi Everyone. I am new to the Recovery Life Lab. I am 6 years in recovery from alcohol use. I used alcohol to cope with grief from losing my husband. Once I became sober, I had to deal with the grief in early recovery. I found that aftercare is seriously lacking for people after treatment. For that reason, as well as many others, I took a…[Read more]

    • Welcome to the Recovery Life Lab Roxane! I look forward to hearing your insights.

    • Welcome Roxane! Glad to have you here. Your work sounds interesting. 🙂

    • Hey Roxanne! I assumed you were here because of the Traction Challenge. Welcome! You will learn a lot here. I have only been here a month and this is a wonderful place for education and support. This is what I have been looking for – something specific for recovery as recovery coaching is unique from other types of coaching! Catch up the lessons…[Read more]

    • Welcome Roxane! Glad you joined!

    • I love the work you are doing Roxane. Having worked in treatment, we only scratch the surface of loss and grief people have experienced in life that lead to substance use. Creating some type of program or package for those needing to continue that work would be incredible. You could even partner with treatment facilities, sober livings,…[Read more]

      • Hi Beverly, I am excited to be here and to have finally pinpointed my recovery edge! I am really looking forward to exploring ways to better my journey of recovery and creating offers for others that will help them on theirs.

    • So nice to have you here!! What an excellent idea re: your business!!! I look forward to getting to know you better. Love and light to you today! xo

      • Hi Misty. Thank you. I am so glad to be here with so many like minded people. I look forward to learning more about yours and sharing mine with everyone.

  • Today’s prompt: Name 3 people dead or alive that you have always been pulled towards as leaders and share why?

    • Einstein for relentless pursuit of the truth with an open mind and willingness to be wrong.  For him, science and spirituality weren’t mutually exclusive and I consider him a pioneer in awakening consciousnesses.  Gandhi for his peaceful, nonviolent resistance to unjust laws and to British rule.  He was quite literally the change he wanted to se…[Read more]

    • Tough prompt! Leaders – Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Barrack Obama. Why? Extraordinary men who did extraordinary things!

  • Today’s prompt is to mark your calendars for our live call this Thursday 5/18 at 1pm PST/2pm MST/3pm CST/4pm EST. I will post log-in info for you on Thursday; it’s the same zoom link as usual. Here’s the pdf for the week. https://s3.amazonaws.com/recoverylifemanagement/Leadership+Projection.pdf. Make sure to take a look before the call.

  • Today’s prompt: Take some time to see yourself as a Loving Essence today while you are talking with someone.
