___________________________________________________________________

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Mastering the Drop, A real view of recovery where we share, the psychological skillsets and tactics as well as the practical application thereof in your life so that you can begin living your life the way that you desire.

But we also come and share stories of hope. We also shared stories of success. And we really just try to bring that you are not alone feeling to any recovery journey, whether that's from chemical substances, whether that's from a process or a behavioral addiction, like people pleasing codependency over booking your calendar, the all in and all out of the diet, culture, whatever that looks like for you.

We try to come and. Useful tidbits of information and share genuine, authentic stories of how transformation can actually happen. My name if you didn't know, is Tricia Pardo. I'm the owner, creator and director of Turning Leafs Recovery Life and Wellness Coaching, and today I have one of my most precious special Coaches here with me, Hollee and I have had a long relationship, but Hollee is a coach here with us at Turning Leaves and she joined the team because, she's just really passionate about helping others who are struggling with, drugs and alcohol, but also low self-esteem. Lacking motivation and, really.

Fear of Failure or that, that fear of change. And she just has such an amazing way of helping people transform those situations in their life. Without further ado, Hollee does have an amazing story that, She can share with us a little bit about, of course, the best way to find out most about her is to just reach out and have a conversation.

But anyway, Hollee, welcome to the space. I know that, none of us really like to be like on the spot, but anyway, say hello. Tell everybody a little bit about. Hi. I am Molly. I live on Maui and I have been through the Turning Leaves program myself in a recovery from alcohol. I have believed in the program so much that I wanted to teach it to others and help others in their journey to recovery, whatever that means to them.

I have. Gone through it and been in it for about three years, I stick with it because it helps me stay on the base of recovery. Yeah, I, it again, it's been such a pleasure and such an honor to be part of your life. Like it's been a really long time since like I was your coach, honestly. Like we stay connected because we both eat, sleep, breathe this.

I think. You have such a connection with that fear of change and what that, what that kind of looks like. For somebody that is sitting in that, do you mind sharing a little bit about how that was for you at the beginning? Like that fear of like really making a change or move?

Yeah. I was afraid of losing friends was one of my biggest. Issues also, but just afraid. I felt like I couldn't do anything without it. Like I felt like I couldn't even water my yard or clean my house or . It was such a big part of my life that I felt that if there was that change, that those things would go away for me.

From what I've learned by being in the program is I enjoy them much more. And life has been much more filled with gratitude and love and light and motivation, honestly, where I thought that without the alcohol, that I wasn't able to have motivation and it moved me forward to being able, I relate to that.

That's all. I relate to that so deeply, , I thought, oh, I'll never be creative again. I'll never, I won't be any fun on vacation. , even, I was fearful of what it would do, for my intimacy level, even say with my spouse, right? Just all of it. I remember just being when you have something in your life for 30 years or better, right? I'm, I don't know your exact number, it was over 30 years for me that alcohol was part of my life. And, just like I remember crying, I just decided, I like planned my day. I knew what day I was gonna stop, right?

But I still remember crying that day like I was losing my best friend. And I don't know about you. And, just to lean into what you said, that fear of losing friendships, like of relationships changing I don't wanna blow smoke for anybody. It's gonna happen , right?

It's gonna happen. You keep some, you lose some, and some of them grow even stronger. And some of them just take a, a totally different take on a totally different shape or feel, whatever. Yeah. It is a big change. Did you experience some of that also?

Absolutely. I've also found that the more I've gotten into the program and stayed sober, the more I see the people around me. Engaging in it with me, where in the beginning I felt like I had to join the party and prove to myself that I needed to stay sober and I could do it with my friends and ...

Creating Emotional Awareness and Peace with Roberta Hughes

Tricia is joined by guest Roberta Hughes, founder and owner of Peacefull Living. Listen as they discuss creating awareness around emotions.

___________________________________________________________________

Hello. Hello everybody. Welcome to Mastering the Drop, A real view of recovery where myself and my guests talk about all different, um, aspects of a life recovery journey. Um, this week I have to say, I'm, I'm, I feel especially grateful and as you can all see just even with the peaceful background, um, I have a very dear friend of mine, Roberta, here with me from Peacefull Living and, and it's just such a gift that she is here and, and we've been spending quite a bit of time together lately and, um, with the team and, and, and everything and, and she just has so many gifts to give. But I really love how everything that she teaches and, and brings to her practice, um, how it actually supports a lot of the cognitive and emotional work that we do at Turning Leaves.

Because her approach is also, you know, with that, with that thought process of helping you nurture your own self-awareness of, of cultivating that emotional intelligence. And, and, and you know, of course this the stress management that we all need, right? And I am, am. You know, I'm not quite about the fact that I love, you know, Pilates and meditation and my, you know, my spirituality is, is, you know, very, um, very special to me.

And, and I, I just love the, the work that she does and, and the meditations are so healing. Um, anyway, I, I haven't even introduced her yet completely. Roberta Hughes. Is, is the founder of Peacefull Living, where, you know, she does customized, um, classes. There's on demand. Um, you can do yoga, you can do Pilates, you can do meditation, and, and you can, you can do it all, you know, in, in one sitting and, and it's just such a wonderful.

Approach and, and just, uh, just the site itself is, is so peaceful and, and I just love the way that, you know, you've set up your practice, Roberta. So I'm gonna let you like, come in and say hello and introduce yourself Before I start with all of the wonderful questions I, I wanna ask you today,

So thank you Tricia, for the introduction and for having me here on your show.

We have been working on a few things together lately, and I recently had the opportunity to do a guided meditation for some of your coaches, and that was a true gift for the holidays. Not just for me, but I hope for them and for you as well. Um, as coaches, you guys give so much to helping people on their recovery journey that it's important to nourish and nurture yourselves along the way and not to forget to do that.

So, It's been a joy to be part of that support team for you and your coaches and to be here today to see what I can share to help your audience and your clients and the people who listen to your podcast for inspiration and hope and motivation on their recovery journey.

Thank you. It is, it's always so amazing to, to spend time with you and, and I'll tell you the feedback from, from our team meeting.

Um, when you came was all about you and, and, and all of the gratitude for, for having you come in and spend some time with them. They all felt so just blessed and, and gifted. When, when, um, when it was over and, and it's, so anyway, it was. It was, it was amazing. But, um, you know, something that, you know, you and I haven't talked about, so I've been dying to ask you this, um, is, you know, to to know really what, what drove you or what brought you to this place that you're in, like the work that you do, because it's such a gift.

You know, I, I always, I'm always really interested to know like what. What drove you to be here and, and then you know, what, you know, really cultivated that passion to, to, you know, take it even further and create this wonderful thing that you have.

Yeah. So I first became curious about yoga in college. I took my first yoga class.

As a one credit course in college, and prior to that movement had always been a part of my life, but it was more from the place of gymnastics and cheerleading and the performance of movement rather than, um, mindful movement and figuring out how movement affected your body. Not on the only on a physical level, but on an emotional and spiritual and mental level as well.

And I really felt the transformation right away. After I would finish a yoga class and walk out that door, I just felt different. I felt more at ease. I felt more at peace. I felt more focused and ready to go to my next class, and my friends could see it in me too. So that's really where the curiosity about yoga started and after college, I got married and was moving around every three years because my ex-husband was in the Air Force and. I was able to study at Santa Barbara Yoga Center, which is pretty close to wh...
