Shedding the Shackles of Shame

Ali and Rouchelle talk about sex addictions and shame and finding a way to freedom.

About the Guest:

Rouchelle Cota decided to become a Mindfulness Coach based on her own experiences, struggles, heartaches, and ultimate path of self-acceptance and love. Earlier in her life, as she grappled with life’s challenges, she was devastated to discover that her husband had a serious porn addiction. Feeling shocked and deeply wounded by his betrayal, no matter how many couples therapy sessions her and her husband attended, she couldn’t shake the horrible feelings of anger, resentment, and depression which eventually began to take its toll on her. In fact, soon after, Rouchelle was diagnosed with cancer and although she was fortunate it was caught in the early stages, she continued to battle ongoing health issues like depression, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, which she was convinced was exacerbated by her terrible stress.

It was when she discovered the extraordinary power of mindfulness it was when her life began to flourish and finally she felt connected to her deeper sense of self and feel gratitude for the valuable lessons she learned. Today, she is helping hundreds of women also shift their mindset by helping us design an actionable plan that absolutely works. Rouchelle has learned to create a life she loves, to go from surviving to thriving, and she wants to help us do the same. By supporting women to tap into their amazing inner wisdom and capabilities, the results have been remarkable.

About the Podcast

Find Your Joy
Alison Perry-Davies’s belief is that wherever we come from, we have all known some level of pain, loss and trauma, these things do not need to define us. She doesn’t ignore that these things have happened; however, she decided this is not the way her story ends. Using integrated creative therapies along with sound and vibrational therapies she continues to explore and share complimentary healing modalities.

In this podcast she shares her story as well as having many other people sharing their stories about ways that they have found their healing and their way to find joy. Some of the guests will include authors, artists, painters, singers, songwriters, musicians, doctors, healers of different modalities, people who love to organize people who love to build things, people who find ways of raising dogs and kids and, you know, it really doesn't matter exactly what it is. It's all about finding our joy, and finding a way to make life work.
