'Life after the Great Reassessment' with Dr. Alexis Yamokoski, S3e17 #moremosstothepeople #bolddecisions #toughconversations #deathplanning
GUEST: Dr. Alexis Yamokoski
TITLE OF EPISODE: Life after the Great Reassessment. “There’s nothing very serious happening here”.
SUMMARY OF EPISODE:
Alexis is a beautiful soul who feels deeply. She has a gentle knowing of what’s to come and is confident that everything will work out.
Even when caring for her dying parents, experiencing an anxiety attack while driving through the mountains of North Carolina with two children in the back seat, or bearing the burden and shame of her mother's alcoholism, Alexis maintains her faith and resilience.
Join us as we discuss what Alexis' life looks like today. We'll explore her journey through shame, the importance of kindness, having hard conversations, embracing 'lightness,' feeling isolated, grieving alone, the impermanence of everything, finding joy in the next moment, and staying present.
She is deeply connected to her highest truth, and the gentle stillness of her being is heartwarming.
We hope you enjoy our chat.
Xx,
Åsa

That is the 100% truth, my friend!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

That was absolutely amazing. I can't believe Alex's has never been on a podcast before. What a great first experience! ❤

[@asanilsson]

She was phenomenal, right?! A natural born speaker./sharer. Let's encourage her to SHARE more of her story all over the world!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

Kindness, respect & honesty ❤

[@asanilsson]

Me too! I loved that she had house rules! YES!! Didn't you just love HER?!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

@asanilsson absolutely! Such an amazing bright light! 💕🥰💕

[@asanilsson]

@@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess I totally agree!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

I've had a breakdown in a bathroom stall. 😂 I feel you! ❤

[@asanilsson]

And how about all those women waiting for her outside the stall to hug her. LOVE that!!!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

@@asanilsson yes, that was the best ever! I'd have been in line to hug as well. 🤣🥰💕 Hugs are the best, especially in such a context. 💖💖💖

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

I used to work at the local hospice and I experienced a lot of family and friends feeling guilty and ashamed about not taking care of their loved ones at home. But you're not giving up on anyone. Because you're giving them a better life experience in their final days and when you're with them, you're supported and more rested, so the time you spend together has more quality because you can be a lot more present, loving and relaxed during those times. ❤

[@asanilsson]

Overwhelm is real on ANY given day, let alone when you are coping with a career and 2 parents who are so ill they need hospice. God love her. I love her! I am so glad I invited her on so she could finally share her story, in a safe place and space. Thank you Tirza for watching. You are a gem!

[@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess]

@asanilsson it was an amazing podcast. So honest, real and full of grace. 💕🥰💕

[@asanilsson]

Thank you, Alexis was a wonderful guest. 🙏❤ ​@@TirzaTheSmilingGoddess

I have a severely disabled child who was on home hospice for 5 years. When they discharged him, we found a facility that works with children like him. I have been saying I feel like I spend more time with him since I am not worried about attending all his needs. I can just go an sing to him or read and talk to him. The quality of our interactions is so much better. It’s a hard choice to make, but not so hard when you see it is making everyone’s lives better.

[@asanilsson]

@@stillwatersfarm8499 And getting your child the help he needs is vital for everyone. Keep singing. 🙏❤️🙌
