In this episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast Vangile introduces Karen Bernetti, who shares her expertise on dealing with addiction and its impact on family dynamics and financial trauma. Karen's work focuses on helping families affected by addiction through yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. Karen's journey began with Al-Anon, a 12-step fellowship for families of those struggling with alcohol addiction. She explains how living with someone who has an addiction can lead to various psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and codependency.  Karen emphasizes that families often become enablers or try to control the situation, which only exacerbates the problem. To break the cycle, she suggests mindfulness practices and seeking support through groups like Al-Anon. Karen also delves into the financial impact of addiction on families, sharing her personal experience of divorce and the ensuing custody battle.  She describes how addiction can lead to financial instability, legal issues, and increased stress. Her story highlights the importance of addressing financial trauma and finding ways to heal and rebuild one's life after such experiences. To aid in healing, Karen recommends mindfulness practices such as yoga and meditation, which have been transformative in her own life.

Loving the Whole... meaning the whole... of me? Whew. That's STILL something I struggle with... not gonna lie here. I'd love to say that I've learned to love the good and the bad, but part of my own challenge is that I still look at past experiences - especially things I either did or failed to do - through the binary prism of 'right and wrong' or 'good and bad.'  Yoga and Recovery expert Nikki Myers is here to tell both you AND me a story of hope: it IS possible to love the whole. In this interview, Nikki shares just what this did for her in her life, and the method she uses to help countless others do the same in theirs.  Whether or not you consider yourself in recovery, Nikki's prescription is relevant, because I'm willing to bet there are things in your past that you'd rather not have there. Listen carefully for the tiny, three-letter word she discovered that changes everything.

Myers is a yoga therapist, a somatic experiencing practitioner, addictions recovery specialist, and a certified health coach. Myers is also the founder of Y12SR - Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Y12SR is a 12-step recovery program designed to help address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction. Myers founded Y12SR after her own struggles with addiction. Myers believed recovery programs needed to combine the cognitive approach of traditional 12-step programs with the somatic approach of yoga; this is the goal of Y12SR. In today's episode, we talk with Myers about yoga as a path to healing and how yoga has influenced her life. Listen in as we discuss how yoga helps us align with ourselves and embrace our true self.

THIS IS A MUST LISTEN!!! Yoga of 12-Step Recovery was born from founder Nikki Myers personal journey through addiction, relapse and recovery. Nikki Myers is a yoga therapist, teacher and somatic experiencing practitioner who founded CITYOGA School of Yoga and Health in Indianapolis, IN. She launched Yoga of 12-Step Recovery in 2004 based on her own personal struggles with addiction. https://y12sr.com/

In this episode, I am speaking with the founder of @Y12SR (Yoga 12 Step Recovery) Nikki Myers. Nikki realized after 2 relapses, that although both Yoga and 12 Steps programs are both useful in solidifying one’s recovery, she and others like her needed a way to connect the two differing aspects. Yoga, a combination of physical and mental awareness had little to offer her in the cognitive world we are all raised in. The 12 Step programs that we have all around us tend to exist in the cognitive world and lack some of the real hard inner work that yoga focuses on. Her bringing these together has helped millions and as it relates to recovering the self Nikki and I seem to have a lot to talk about. Yoga 12 step recovery is yoga for those of us in recovery more than it is recovery for those of us interested in yoga. These are sessions that begin with a brief check-in, maybe a reading, and share and then we do some dimple mindful yoga movements.
