Its been four years since Tamara and Garrett first did Ayahuascha in Peru and Costa Rica.  

We discuss our latest opinions on the complex topic of Psychedelics in Recovery(specifically recovery from our drug of choice-alcohol), the legality of psychedelic use in the US, and where we are four years after this transformative experience in both our lives.

In a mostly lighthearted episode Tamara and Garrett catch up on what has been going on in their lives since we spoke to you last.  We discuss our in person meet up, our Thanksgiving gratefulness with families and our health.  We discuss what it means to be fully present, and riff on not being “lost in thought”.

We want to extend a very warm Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends.

Garrett has over five years and Tamara has over three years of sobriety under their  belts.  But they are by no means sages or recovery gurus, they  are just a couple of friends on opposite sides of the country

Garrett and Tamara give updates on their lives and reflect on what has happened in the past year and a half, and how they are still remaining sober.  

Garrett shares an insight over why he drank that he was not previously aware of and goes over his experience with the 12 steps

Tamara shares how she is able to be fully present with her daughters and talks about how she is doing all the things that she never thought she would do if you asked her 5-10 years ago

They both agree that quiet peaceful domestic life is awesome.

They round it out with a few tips and tricks (sobriety hacks?)

PS. Garrett forgot to run the audio through his microphone again so what you are hearing is picked up through the computer audio

After the small talk and banter ebbs Tamara and Garrett really get serious.  Well serious with some funny stuff thrown in too.  Here is the ego stuff Julia Christina talks about 

The ego is there to protect us from shame and vulnerability but it actually prevents us from authenticity 

Four Ps to know if your acting out of ego

1. Am I trying to prove something-that I have value
2. Am I trying to protect something-fear of vulnerability or hurt
3. What can I perfect-trying to protect that I am not a perfect human being
4. Who can I please-getting other people to think I certain way about me so I can feel good about myself

Four Cs of authenticity 

1. What can I create
2. What can I contribute 
3. How can I connect
4. What can I cultivate

In this episode Tamara recounts the time she won a contest and got to go to the White House and meet George W Bush.  

We talk about other things too, and you just get to eavesdrop on a normal conversation ....also Garrett forgot to switch the mic input to USB mic so his sound isn't its normal richness.

We can't believe it's taken us this long to write an original Life Recovered song, but better late than never. After singing our first hit song and making your ears bleed (maybe not in a good way), we talk about gratitude! There's no shortage of reasons to be grateful this year. No 2020 joke here... we're actually being serious.

We reflect on Christmas, talk about and talk a lot about Santa Claus and the Reindeer.

We go into pop culture and have a great discussion on the Bachelorette.

We talk about Dogs, Daughters, and coffee, you know, no big whoop (also talk about emotional intelligence)
