#16 Coping With My Grief About My Loved Ones Addiction

Addiction has touched the lives of both Stephanie and April. In Stephanie's family drinking a lot of booze was just what happened. On holidays everyone drank, on the weekend everyone drank and everyday after work Stephanie's father drank lots of beer. So coping with addiction has been a research project of Stephanie's for decades. Stephanie even did her own research by drinking too much and finding herself in AA in her 24th year. Stephanie had been free of the drink since 2014 and is thriving in soberity!
In April's life she has a family member who is addicted to drugs and she has been helped by Al-anon & Melody Beattie both of which have helped her heal her codependent issues.
Trigger warning! We are going to talk about addiction!
Stephanie and April hope to inspire you to heal and feel your grief.

#15 Friendship & Intelligent Disobedience

Creating friendships with people who believe differently is exciting because we learn something new. Meeting a new friend is like trying on a new shirt, does the friendship feel like soft flannel or stiff starched cotton? Stephanie & April both enjoy having friends from all walks of life. This is why a Reiki Healer & a Church Girl can be great friends! We hope you enjoy this podcast and share it with your friends. May you have good friends and be an even better friend!

#14 Persistence Is Better Than Genius

Remember always that "Persistence Is Better Than Genius"! It is how each one of us applies our energy that counts. Taking responsibility for how & what each of us chooses to create makes the world a better place. Trusting there is a supportive source of energy in the Universe, for April and me, helps us to stay persistent! We keep visualizing our book on the New York Times Best Seller List! Visualize people reading our book, colouring the pages and getting relief from their grief. We use our imagination to help us be persistent as well. Thank you for liking, subscribing and sharing this podcast if it created in you smiling, giggling, thinking or feeling. We Love YOU! Hugs :~)
Stephanie and April hope to inspire you to heal and feel your grief.

#13 Being Responsible For Our Choices Creates Contentment

Tonight Stephanie & April discuss embracing responsibility for everything that has happened to them as adults. They trust that once they start taking responsibility for the choices that are for the good & hard for themselves and others that is the single act that turns us from victim to victor—affirmation number 40 from their book "Releasing Grief From My Body". Please remember the process of grieving takes time, be gentle with yourself and others. It is up to each of us to honor our own personal grief journey so that we are able to cry for our stressful situations & laugh at our stressful situations. We can miss our loved ones and maybe even feel relieved that something that person did that was annoying is now not a bother anymore. When Stephanie was young her father came home late and most days he was drunk after work. So that when he transformed back to pure energy when Stephanie was 15.5 years old she remembers feeling, now she and her mother would not be wondering every day when he would be home. He was never coming home again.
So Stephanie and April hope to inspire you to heal and feel your grief.
