Wayyyyy back in 2020 virtual school hell, my daughter typed into the classroom chat “when is brak?” cause like all of us she was desperate to know when this fresh hell was ending 🤪😂

Anywho, this cup was hiding in the back of my cabinet and I’m so glad I found it. Another reminder that rest is productive and we all deserve a fu***ng break.

Big thanks to for crafting this cup for me 💖 Also, I guess this is a wine cup, but I promise it had coffee in it this morning 😅

I will be offline Dec 22-Jan 8 making magic and mischief with these gremlins 🤪 Wishing you and yours pockets of joy amidst the chaos. And a nap. Maybe three. Oh and a little body autonomy too. With snacks. Remember to say no when you need to and yes only when you really want to. Happy holidays friends! 🎄❄️💖

Hi friends! I’ve been quiet here again, mostly because I’ve been trapped in a pretty toxic work environment and haven’t had time to do much of anything but survive. The good news is swiftly rescued me and I’m excited for this next venture. Spread the word friends! I’m backkkkkk! 💖

I came home from my first day of onboarding feeling defeated and then the universe was like here’s a feverish kid asleep on the couch 🤪

I have a love/hate relationship with this quote. Frida Kahlo is a source of strength for me in struggle. She reminds me that I can in fact sit in the mess and it won’t last forever. That glimmers of hope can still shine through the darkness. That our humanness is always complex. Joy + wtf is this mess.

But I’m also actively unlearning our cultures norms around grind culture. Purposely resisting the urge to hustle when we all exist in a system that prioritizes profit over people. Intentionally choosing rest and reminding myself that it’s the most productive thing I can do.

I’ve had anxiety about starting this role. There hasn’t been transparency around how quickly our caseload would fill or even when we could expect to start seeing clients. Well the answer is immediately and this Thursday 😅

This means our cohort has to survive 3 full days of learning how to use EHR and tech and cyber security and HIPAA trainings and sexual harassment videos and benefits elections and teams channels and this IT thing and this policy and that rule…like let’s fill your brain to the brim and then just throw your ass in the fire. Oh, ok.

So yea, I can do hard things. But the question is do I want to? 🤷‍♀️

Welp, I’m doing a thing. But first a little backstory…

In May I was part of a workforce reduction from a tech health company and I was shook. It wasn’t my dream job, but I got comfortable with the ease and flexibility my role provided. I wasn’t working as a clinician and I enjoyed supporting families in finding the support they needed without having to assess, diagnose, or treat. I just got to meet folx human to human and achieve more work/life balance.

Don’t get me wrong, the corporate world is toxic AF and the social worker in me struggled being a part of a company that put profit over people. There were times it felt like I was being used and abused and the longer I stayed away from private practice, the more irrelevant I felt as a clinician.

*insert career life crisis*

I knew deep down I would eventually be grateful for the gift of pause. But wtf was I gonna do next? I honestly felt very frozen and spent a good couple weeks wrapped in my sons burrito blanket watching Queen Charlotte and eating lots bread 🥖

Eventually I eased into contemplation and with the help of a career coach was able to answer a few key questions.

Did I want to return to private practice? *insert hives*

Did I want to pivot entirely from clinical work? No.

Did I want to be a SAHM?
*insert maniacal laughter*

Did I need to figure out something fast or risk financial doom? Yes.

The truth is what I want is a fu***ng unicorn. I want FT pay with full benefits seeing 10-15 clients a week 🦄

My career coach was like rock on sister create the unicorn, but I’m also fu***ng tired of hustling. Our culture wants us to think our value is in the grind and I’ve just done too much unlearning to go back to that bu****it.

So here I am probably making a poor decision and joining another startup 😂 They require an absurd caseload but per my career session, sometimes it’s ok to make a financial decision for now. It’s ok to do one thing while you dream about what’s next. So right now you can find me returning to 1:1 therapeutic support (most def wrapped in this cozy sweater) and that feels a little exciting…assuming I even remember how to therapy 🤷‍♀️

*opens why therapy works*

Hi friends! I know it’s early, but putting the word out that I have the bandwidth to get a LCSW supervision group started in the next few months. Depending on interest we could start sooner! Let the people know 📣

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

08/13/2022

Today I got to learn and experiment with sandtray. Sandtray is an expressive therapy. A way to process trauma and the unconscious. It is nonverbal, grounding, and another way clients can create containment when processing pain.

Naturally, it fits my desire to rebel against our professions need to “fix”. Our prescriptive mode of pushing solutions and seeking compliance. Often at a speed that only ends up causing more harm. Trauma recovery needs patience. Creativity. Collaboration. Not 8-10 sessions of a workbook 🤪

I loved that invited our group to spend time in the sand processing our own reproductive histories. The stories our bodies hold around this work.

One of the beautiful things about sandtray is it evokes the unexpected. Those deep and tangled emotions that are hard to reach. This was my experience today in the sand. I scoured the shelves of miniatures looking for a village. Something to represent the community I ache to make more accessible and normal in our culture.

Well somewhere along the way I found myself drawn to these stairs to nowhere. It stirred in me some grief I hadn’t yet named. This part of me that fought madly and deeply to find and nurture my own village and the excruciating disappointment I’ve felt each time that has failed. Each journey included an exhausting race up the mountain to find my wolf pack. Doing the things, making the plans, fighting to be seen, only to have some event or unexpected twist of life send me tumbling back down to the ground. Alone. Or in the case of my third and final race, literal isolation during a global pandemic 🦠

As I thought about this, my eyes fell on this elephant. Elephants gestate for 3+ years. Wow, I’m an elephant I thought. I’m a bone fu***ng tired, wtf even is time anymore elephant. That’s what this experience has felt like. Time standing still. Constant and evolving incubation.

I layered in the labyrinth. A reminder of the healing I have somehow discovered in the midst of unrelenting f**kery. A meandering but purposely journey. A journey I’m still on. I’m in that messy middle finding my way back out. Slowly, and with grace for the all wild edges of my sorrow.

I guess this page has turned into I post a picture of my baby quarterly 🤷🏼‍♀️ He’s ohhh TWOodles 💕
