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
0:20.5	capitalist machine, or just need a moment to remember that you're not alone in your loneliness,
0:26.2	we're serving up the ultimate truth. Your challenges don't define you, how you deal with them does.
0:33.0	So are you ready to recover from reality?
0:37.6	I can break it down simple to what we know. People are just waiting longer and longer and longer

1:49.5	doula and my experience with my pregnancies and birth in general and my take on it please head
1:56.4	over to the Fertile Life podcast to listen more about that. But I was really excited to have Dr.
