0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.5	Hey, this is Alexis Haines and welcome to Recovering from Reality,
0:11.6	where I illuminate the messy and magical path of coming home to yourself.
0:16.1	Whether you're on the road to recovery, seeking self-care techniques for surviving the
