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?
0:38.0	I think part of my work in postpartum is getting people to connect to their own intuition about

1:38.1	can't believe I'm 31 y'all. 31 amazing trips around the sun. And in this week's episode,
1:48.4	we're talking about birth because my sister just had her baby and unfortunately I missed her
1:53.9	birth. I was supposed to be her doula like I was for her first child, Atticus. But that didn't
2:01.9	end up working out because we all got coronavirus. So I've been wanting to sit down with Brandi from
