Wow, it’s official! We had our first Substack Live AMA Chat and it was the coolest and most fun thing I’ve done in a while! I’ve never enjoyed Instagram or TikTok lives, so I was kind of skeptical, but this felt SO DIFFERENT.
Maybe it’s because the community we’ve created here feels safer and more tight-knit— so thank you for cultivating this sacred space for us to come be together in this new way!
This AMA Chat went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so appreciative of your shares, questions, and getting to see the connections you made in the chat! Here are just a few of the questions that were submitted and touched on in today’s Ask Me Anything!— but you all asked some AMAZING questions live on the call, too!
In this AMA Chat we discuss:
How can I tell if my discomfort with someone’s behavior or choices comes from a true misalignment of values or from stories and beliefs shaped by my upbringing or past codependent patterns? For example:
My partner’s comfort expressing anger makes me uneasy because my first husband was verbally abusive, and I struggle with expressing my own anger.
My partner’s use of THC or alcohol to relax feels wrong to me, but I wonder if my 'good girl' narrative is creating rigidity around this.
I lose connection with myself and put work and chaos before my own needs. How can I come back to myself and show up softer in my life, where I feel most connected to my heart?
How can I stay committed to showing up differently, even when my partner struggles to see the changes and makes comments like, 'You like to argue' or 'It’s just who you are'? These reactions sometimes trigger me to feel like changing isn’t worth it. How can I hold space for growth, even if it takes time for him to notice and believe in my efforts?
How can I better connect with my intuition? I often struggle to trust myself to make the right decisions and wish I could hear my intuition more clearly. How can I nurture it and distinguish it from the noise of past trauma, insecurities, and overthinking?
As I’ve shared, this month nothing will be behind a paywall, so that you can experience and explore all the new perks in the Codependency Alchemy membership. If you want to continue receiving exclusive content and live events make sure you join and lock in your $9/month rate before the price goes up in the new year!
Join us for our next live, which will be a Mid-Holiday Energy Hygiene Meditation on Saturday, November 30th at 1PM (PT).
Full Moon Invitation
At the end of today’s live I shared a couple journal prompts to support you on today’s full moon in Taurus.
What is being illuminated for me during this Full Moon?
What am I shedding? Think about what weeds you are tilling to make space for the seeds you’ll be planting during the New Moon.
Many blessings to you on this Full Moon!
With love,
Alyssa
