SP 292: The Final Episode of The SHAIR Podcast with Cole Chance and Omar Pinto

For many, the joys that come along with being a parent can be equaled out by the stressors and chaos that follow behind. Driven by an innate need to nurture and love, parents can live their lives for others, sacrificing their own hopes and dreams. What if we can’t absorb that unconditional love for ourselves that we give to our children? When we don’t feel like we’re good enough parents, the anxious thoughts of inadequacy can creep in and affect our thoughts, our parenting, and every aspect of our lives. When we cover these feelings up with a drink to mitigate the fear and the anxiety, we prevent ourselves from processing our true feelings and developing healthier ways to cope with them. In this week’s SHAIR Recovery podcast, we help Leo crush his powerful and deep limiting beliefs from the emotional wounds of his childhood that reflected his behavior in active addiction as a parent. Leo is still punishing himself, not trusting himself, and unable to see past his limiting beliefs and his behavior. The group helps him recognize his authentic qualities, gifts, and also helps him understand the powerful defense mechanisms he built just to survive, knowing that when things get too hard, we all protect ourselves by avoiding feeling joy and love at all costs.  In this week’s SHAIR recovery coaching call, you’ll learn:  How to identify negative patterns and belief systems we’ve picked up from our parents How we can tap into our inner child to help our children. How to fully give ourselves the unconditional love we’ve always wanted How we can use the power of naming fears and anxieties out loud to change our actions and thoughts.

SRC 015: Healing Childhood Wounds by Crushing Limiting Beliefs

After fleeing from an abusive marriage, Rebecca Davison found herself using alcohol as a way to cope with her PTSD. She explains, “if I had a bad day, I would have an extra drink, I was very much a gray area drinker, but I didn’t like being drunk, it made me scared and anxious.”  Because of her support system and healthy childhood, Rebecca rationalized her drinking. She hadn’t hit that  “rock bottom.” She hadn’t reached the depths of what she perceived an alcoholic “should.” It wasn’t until she had a psychotic episode with a boyfriend where she finally came to the understanding that drinking and PTSD was dictating her life.  Through studying and research, Rebecca came to find Yoga Nidra and Essential Oils as her saving grace. In the practice of Yoga Nidra, it helps soothe the vagus nerve, which is essentially our flight or freeze response that may have been altered or skewed due to the trauma we’ve experienced. Additionally reducing emotional reactivity and increasing self-regulation, the benefits of Yoga Nidra and essential oils are deeply healing on a cellular and emotional level. Once Rebecca came to understand the healing benefits of these properties, the more she separated herself from her PTSD, where she began helping others heal from their own trauma.  “Taking care of yourself and choosing to thrive is a revolutionary act despite all of the oppression and suffering in the world.” Rebecca Davidson is an artist and yoga and meditation practitioner and teacher with over 20 years of experience as a student and eight as a teacher. She specializes in yoga nidra, restorative, tantra, and other spiritually-based practices such as mantra, pranayama, and meditation. Rebecca is also a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, an intuitive tarot and oracle reader, and is currently pursuing her MFA in Painting at the Savannah College of Art &amp; Design. When she is not practicing, teaching, making art, or helping others transform/heal, Rebecca is probably drinking black coffee and listening to music or a podcast. She is a tree-hugging, crystal-collecting, essential oil wearing, animal loving, sober vegan. For the show notes and links for this episode go to theshairpodcast.com/291.

SP 291: Overcoming Trauma and Abuse with Essential Oils and Yoga Nidra

We all have goals, dreams, and aspirations. But, what happens when the undertones of your past limiting beliefs gets in the way of achieving them. “I’m going to fail, so why even try?” “I’m not good enough.” “I’ll never be as good as them.” “I’ll never be as good as I was years ago.”  When we compare ourselves to others, or even begin to compare our actions to a younger version of ourselves, we become stuck within these past limiting beliefs. However, your past experiences of success tend to leave clues. If you’ve been successful before, there’s no reason why you can’t be just as successful now.  Often, what you believe will influence the way you react to events, how you feel, and how you act. And much of the time, those beliefs can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. For instance, if you can’t handle being uncomfortable, you’ll be less likely to step outside of your comfort zone. The moment you get uncomfortable, the inner critic shows up, and you can begin to cut yourself down. Though, by being gentle, loving, and practicing positive dialogue with ourselves, we can begin to challenge these beliefs.  In this week’s Recovery Coaching Group, we helped Dustyn, Rema, and Cori who are all struggling with the voices of the inner critic inside themselves.By focusing on the “how,” of our goals instead of the “what,” we can begin to silence the negativity and when we soften our language towards ourselves, we can begin to soften our emotional state.  In this week’s Recovery Coaching, you’ll learn:  How we can use accountability to break patterns of negativity and bring on permanent change. How by losing faith in ourselves, can begin to lose faith in everything else around us. How to silence the inner critic to stay motivated and accomplish our goals and dreams.

SRC 014: Removing the Blockages and Limiting Beliefs Preventing Us From Getting into Action

If you grew up in a strict religious home, you were most likely taught about heaven, hell, and a very long list of what makes us a good person or a bad person. At times, it feels as if our most intimate feelings can be judged and create feelings of guilt, confusion, and inadequacy. Whether it be Jehovah's Witness or Judaism, people tend to hand over religion and ideas about G-d in a way that layers guilt on top of obligation.  As humans we are bound to make mistakes, sometimes we do, say or feel things that we are not proud of. When you are brought up in a authoritarian religion or faith community and/or your parents or religious leaders are the type to manipulate and control through religion, your spirit will be crushed, you will not be able to forgive your mistakes, every “bad” thought you have or every single thing that you do or say that could be considered “immoral” will hunt you and be a cause for shame, low self-esteem, feelings of being underserving, and the list goes on.  What if you could break free from the guilt that may still be holding you down?   Don't miss this powerful conversation with Eli Nash and Omar Pinto about this difficult subject as they discuss the way religious guilt seems to consume many people.

SP 290: Breaking Free from Religious Guilt and Obligation

Nothing good comes from self-shaming. When relapse happens, it can be easy to fall into a shame cycle of self-loathing. When we promised ourselves we’d “quit for good,” or “never fall back into old patterns,” and find ourselves back there, it can be overwhelming. We may find ourselves scouring our memory to understand how we could have gotten back here. Or, maybe we’re stuck in a cycle of dealing with unresolved trauma - feeling waves of shame and guilt that are all consuming. In today’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Pete. Currently in a state of relapse, Pete struggles to confront his relapse behavior until the intervention of the group steps in. The group also helped Adam. Struggling with unresolved trauma, the group walks Adam through the process of self-forgiveness to find healing and safety.  In today’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, you’ll learn:  How self-loathing can contribute to relapse How trauma can lead to self-loathing, shame, and guilt The process of self-forgiveness How to find unconditional love when others aren’t there to support us  For the show notes and links for this episode go to theshairpodcast.com/013.

SP 289: The Recovery Hour with Lori Windfeldt

For anyone looking to heal from past hurts, inner child work and reparenting is crucial. No matter what we do in our lives, we're trying to feel something. When we don't feel secure and confident within ourselves, we can find ourselves acting out with maladaptive behaviors caused by underlying hurts. Whether we know it or not, we spend years abusing ourselves and people around us, repeating patterns, and when we struggle with addiction can get caught in a cycle of chronic relapse. Oftentimes, it's these underlying hurts that have us wanting to be acknowledged, seen, and valued. Some of these issues can only be addressed with inner child work and reparenting ourselves.  In today’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Angie. Struggling with asking a woman to become her sponsor, she’s committed to her recovery but feels unsure of herself to ask for help. The group also helped Lynne. Struggling to find long-term sobriety, she finds herself relapsing time and time again. The group helps her find empowerment by changing the scope of her recovery language and takes her back to a time in childhood where she found the need to escape and soothe herself.  In this recovery coaching episode you will learn: - How to effectively get in touch with our inner child - A reparenting exercise we can all repeat to ourselves to find compassion and empathy. - Why inner child work is crucial to recovery. - How the language we use can influence our relapse process For the show notes and links for this episode go to theshairpodcast.com/012.

SRC 012: Inner Child Work and Reparenting – Recovery Coaching

Don Cummins

In 2011, Don Cummins was homeless, desperate to get high, and had already served 20 years in prison for bank robberies. Not only suffering from mental health issues, addiction, and incarceration, the court had also declared him insane. Willing to do anything to escape from reality, he went to any lengths to not feel discomfort from the trauma he experienced and abuse he suffered. From the age of 10 Don started to get high, and by the age of 13 was committed to a program, never to live at home again. The rest of his teenage years were spent in youth homes, juvenile detention centers, and at the age of 16, Don was sentenced to prison as an adult.  As the years went on, the drugs only got harder, and the prison sentenced only got longer. Reaching a bottom, Don faced the choice to attempt suicide or reach out for help. Facing an awakening while sitting in his prison cell at the age of 23, he realized the pattern of his denial state and the inability to see the truth. Years later at the age of 39, Don decided to begin working through resentment, anger, fear, and reached out for help and began putting in the work.  From being isolated and alone, Don began experiencing deep friendships and connections. From not knowing how to be loved, he ended up meeting the love of his life, and from being jobless, he went back to school and became a software developer that integrates with banks.  With an incredible self-transformation, Don’s story is a testament to overcoming adversity, overcoming obstacles, and finding freedom. Today, Don Cummins is an author and speaker whose passion is to spread the message that regardless of anyone’s background or life situation, absolutely anyone can overcome their obstacles and have the life they dream of.  Don lives in Florida with his wife Brianna and his two boys Levi and Finley. While he’s not hanging out with his family or working on a project, he’s riding his bike and playing guitar.  For the show notes and links for this episode go to theshairpodcast.com/288.

SP 288: Don Cummins - The Prison Within and Breaking Free

With addiction comes lies, deceit, and betrayal. However, with recovery can come the looming after effects of guilt, shame, and regret. When we get sober, we must learn to love, forgive ourselves, and make peace with our past.  Acknowledging the mistakes we’ve made and moving forward is often easier said than done. Forgiving ourselves requires empathy, compassion, loving, and understanding. It also requires us to accept that forgiveness is a choice. How to Forgive Yourself In addition, many of us can hold onto our past mistakes that we feel are not forgivable. We live in fear of forgetting the hurt. Reliving and replaying these feelings over again, we re-traumatize ourselves. However, forgiving does not mean forgetting and staying in this pattern can get us stuck and create a risk for relapse. Learning to love and forgive ourselves is essential to our personal growth, sobriety, and success.  In this week’s SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Dustyn who is facing the wreckage of his past. Feeling shame, guilt, anger, and frustration, he’s stuck in self-remorse and self-hatred from his past action in addiction. How do we learn to love and forgive ourselves? The group helps Dustyn put together a step-by-step action plan to begin the healing process of making peace with the past and most importantly, ourselves. In this week’s Recovery Coaching call, you’ll learn:  What a “win” journal is and how to create one Practical steps to take to begin forgiving ourselves How to begin to repair the damage of the past to reconstruct our life How to distinguish between our behavior and our true selves  For the show notes and links for this episode go to theshairpodcast.com/011.

Herby Bell

Herby Bell joins us on The SHAIR Podcast. Herby is a recovery and wellness coach and you can find Herby at his website, www.recoveryhealthcare.me and he also has a podcast called Sober Conversations.  “First and foremost, a sober/wellness lifestyle is the only way to go. I know this because I am a man in long-term addiction recovery and I have experienced firsthand, the destructive forces of active addiction personally and in my family. But also, there’s a true, transformational gift in addiction recovery that seems to elude us–until we commit 100%. Commitment includes recruiting help, and I can help.  Addiction affects three out of four of our families and I am comforted in knowing I am joined by many others who are looking to heal themselves–and their families. If you are one of these people, thank you for looking into this work!”  -    Dr. Herby Bell  Omar:    Herby, let's dive right in. First, tell us a little bit about what your daily routine is like and how you incorporate recovery in the mix?  Herby:    It's my experience, I love to talk about the experiment of one. The scientific term is n equals one, and the test is me. My experiment of one taught me in recovery that I need to be eating well, I need to be moving well, I need to get exercise. I need to be thinking well, some kind of cognitive or psychological process. I need to work on my emotional intelligence and I need to be sleeping well. I like to call those the high five essential nutrients for my mind, body, spirit. Those things get wrapped into my day on a daily basis. Otherwise, I do get hungry, angry, lonely and tired.  Herby:    I think it's different for everybody that way, but those are the basics that generate the good brain chemicals that we need as recovering people to be stoked, and that's what we want.  Omar:    Absolutely. I agree a hundred percent. What about meetings? Do you participate in any twelve-step fellowship?  Herby:    I go to twelve-step meetings periodically. I've got my favorites. I go to a men's group regularly and I go to the Church of the Pacific with my surfing practice regularly and I seem to get those vitamins and nutrients I need that way as well.  Omar:    Beautiful, beautiful. How do you maintain your spiritual condition, that conscious contact with a higher power on a daily basis?  Herby:    I have a meditation practice and that surely helps if I'm spiritually discontent. Surfing is a huge spiritual practice for me, and to tell you the truth, the way that we do, it seems to me with twenty-first century brain science and addiction medicine, we know that people in long-term recovery actually rewrite the architecture of their brain. They rewrite the way the brain works. I don't really make too many distinctions about what is spiritual and what isn't. It all seems to be a spiritual experience to me, and I'm completely grateful for that. Omar: Herby, so tell me, how much clean time do you have and when is your anniversary date?  Herby:    May 2nd, so twenty-two years this last, just a couple of weeks ago, I guess, or a month ago.

Patty Powers

Patty Powers joins us today on The SHAIR Podcast and shares her unbelievable battle with addiction and her amazing journey into recovery. Patty began drinking and using drugs recreationally as an adolescent. At eighteen she moved to New York City where chance meetings with other addicts opened doors to careers, romantic relationships, the art world and the music scene. For years, whenever the negative consequences of addiction started taking their toll, survival instincts kicked in and she’d return to Toronto. By 1987, she was living alone in an abandoned building in Los Angeles, having cut all ties to her former life. It was at this low point she was first introduced to recovery. On December 10th 1988, Patty was admitted into a treatment facility located outside of New Orleans for heroin addiction, cocaine, and methamphetamine use. She was discharged with 42 days clean on the first day of Mardi Gras and has remained drug and alcohol free. Listen in as Patty shares her story now!

Carly Benson

Carly Benson joins us today on The SHAIR Podcast the founder of Miracles Are Brewing.  She is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and Coaches. She is a Certified Christian Life Coach through Light University and has also served on the Board of Directors for Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  Her mission is to teach people to love their weirdness and to bring forth the most epic versions of themselves. To live epic lives that are purpose-driven, passion-fueled, faith-centered and serve others in a way that offers impactful change.  But life wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows for Carly. For a decade, her life was jam packed, fully loaded with a party scene on constant repeat as if she had an IV of adrenaline directly connected to a brain that didn’t think the word NO even existed. There was no place she wouldn’t go or thing she wouldn’t do to get her fix.  One morning after a night of drug-filled oblivion and reckless alcohol consumption, she made the decision to clean up her act. Not really sure how she made it out alive, the only viable explanation is that God and his angels were watching out for her.  Over the years, Carly has told her story to friends, family and even people she just met.  The first thing they always ask her is: “How did you do it?  How did you change your life?”  It all started with a prayer…

Sunny Buick

Sunny Buick shares with us her battle with drugs and alcohol and her inspiring journey into recovery.  Sunny was born in British Columbia, Canada in a small cabin in the woods. She was then raised in California by a single hippy mother, who always encouraged her creative spirit. Finally arriving in San Francisco at age fifteen after years and years of constant displacement, she finally felt at home. The next year she decided to become a tattoo artist after meeting some influential misfits. Many years later after finishing college she gained a tattoo apprenticeship with Henry Goldfield and it was in North Beach, not too far from where Lenny Bruce fell out of his hotel window that her career was started. Her work is heavily influenced by tattoo imagery which has become a symbolic language in her work.  Sunny started exposing her paintings around the same time as she started tattooing. She has appeared in several art books like Vicious, Delicious, Abitious about female artists in the lowbrow scene, also in Beatsville put out by Gallery Outré. In San Francisco she participated in the Mexican community ritual of making Day of the Dead installations in museums and galleries including the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. In 2003 she organized a massive group art show and catalog called “Sci-Fi Western”. She’s written for Juxtapoz and several tattoo magazines. She was photographed by the French artists Pierre et Gilles. She currently lives in Paris where she daily finds inspiration and lives out her artistic dreams.

Keith Campbell

Keith Campbell joins us on the SHAIR Podcast today. Keith has a thriving Facebook Group called Sober and Serious with over 3,700 active members.  This is a group for people who are Serious about their recovery and striving to be a better people every day!  Omar:    Let's talk a little bit about what your daily routine looks like and include your recovery routine.  Keith:    I usually wake in the morning and I do a little meditation and prayer, and then take a shower, get ready, go to work. Usually when I get home from work, then I head off to a meeting usually if I have time. After that, usually some fellowship with the people in the meeting, and life is good. Try to help people. I got some guys that I sponsor, and when they're willing, I'll meet up with them and take then through the book too.  Omar:    Now, you say pray and meditate in the mornings, so how do you maintain your spiritual condition your conscious contact with a higher power on a regular basis, either daily basis or weekly basis?  Keith:    I do a lot of praying mostly for other people, but the Serenity Prayer I use. I go to church. I thank God a lot of the times for everything in my day-to-day routine and everything he's gotten me through, and I just continue to try to grow in my faith. Those 2 things I try to do, is grow in my faith and grow as a person in my recovery.  Omar:    How much clean time do you have and when is your anniversary date?  Keith:    I've been clean since March 5th of 2015, so I have over 16  Omar:    Tell us, Keith, how old you were the first time you drank or used drugs or more importantly how did they make you feel?  Keith:    I was pretty young, 12 or 14, when I first drank. I don't know, made me feel, I guess, happy.  Omar:    What was keeping you from getting clean or staying clean when you first got introduced to recovery?  Keith:    When I first got introduced to recovery I just wasn't following the suggestions in the program. I thought I could do it on my own. That's what kept me from staying clean before. I didn't go to meetings except for when, to get my sheet signed for court, but when I started going to these meetings for myself, that's when it all changed. I was there with an open mind to grow and learn, do whatever it takes, and if that means following these people's suggestions, then that's what I was going to do. That's helped me tremendously.

Rebecca Ronning

Rebecca Ronning joins us on the SHAIR Podcast today. Rebecca is 21 years old and recently celebrates 1 year clean.  She began using heroin at age 17 and from that point on has been battling drug addiction. She came from a good family, got into college full time at age 16 and graduated with her associates of arts degree at 17 while graduating from high school at the same time. A star athlete in high school in diving and went to state 4 times. After graduation Rebecca got into nursing school and with 2 semesters left for her RN degree she dropped out to go to rehab. She had everything going for her but heroin took her down hard. She went to her first inpatient at age19, was admitted to 5 inpatients, 3 sober houses, and fired from pretty much every job she had, using drugs the entire time. It got so bad she began selling her body for drugs, was charged with a felony and overdosed 4 times. She lost all hope. Her family would tell her you HAD so much going for you how could you throw it away. Her parents are 25 years sober and they have helped her so much but nobody could save her from herself. The consequences just go on and on but the BEST part is how her life is now and what she can mainly say is service work has saved her life. Today Rebecca volunteers speaking at detoxes and treatment centers.  What's most important to her is for other young people to know you can be sober and have fun!
