In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast, I’m joined by wellness teacher Alexis Colantonio for an honest conversation about moving through divorce, overwhelm and worst-case thinking.

 Alexis shares how asking for support helped her find perspective – and how noticing anxious thoughts as thoughts, rather than facts, made room for calm, creativity and new possibilities.

 We talk about being okay even when life doesn’t match the picture we thought we needed, and how curiosity can help us see beyond the mental “glass walls” we run into.

 Alexis also reflects on turning a difficult experience into children’s books about resilience, and offers a simple reminder for anyone struggling: reach out to a friend. Connection isn’t weakness; it’s part of being human.
