Hi friends 👋🏻
It’s been a minute…erm actually, it’s been like a whole fu***ng year 😬
Even before that my presence was slim. Here’s a recap:
✨3 years ago I had a baby at the peak of the pandemic, had a legitimate mental health crisis, and took maternity leave a whole month sooner than expected
✨2 years ago I made the radical decision to actually leave private practice…maybe for a little bit? Maybe for forever 🤷♀️
✨Somewhere in between it all I took a corporate tech job that was very foreign for my social work brain
✨After working harder than I ever should have for the man, they laid me off 😅
✨My IG also got hacked and this account subsequently got neglected in all the ways
Anywho, my last proof of life here was August 12, 2022 so I thought I’d say hello, update you on the last year and start sharing more around how I plan to utilize this space moving forward…
So here’s my brief recap 😂
✨Did a lot of CEUing, including trainings on NICU support, sand tray, EMDR and even got to experiment with using poetry in healing attachment wounds! I also joined a clinical supervisor consultation group and got a million supervisor CEU hours. Which btw, I’m a clinical social work supervisor now 😊 I briefly had two supervisees and am currently dreaming up next steps in that realm so stay tuned 💖
✨I also did a lot of traveling…visited family in Boston (and Salem re: this pic), hugged giant trees in California, ate hot chicken in Nashville, and despite my better judgement agreed to farm sit 🤪
✨I also kept a very tiny toe in my old birth world circle and rallied for TX to stop murdering birthing folx 🤬
✨We absolutely made the best, worst decision ever and got a fu***ng dog. Meet Remi. She’s the one with a ball in her mouth.
✨Then more ice came to TX and we all had a PTSD reaction which eventually turned into the hottest summer on record and the end of times is here for real this time 🤷♀️
So there ya have it. I’m alive. Kinda. I plan to re-earth this account from the depths of nothing and share more about what’s to come for me. In the mean time, feel free to check out my website. I updated some things there too 🤩
XO, Alexis
