| 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. |
