Alexis Croucher on Mental Work, Rewiring Old Patterns, and Aging Authentically
This week we are joined by long time Tactic community member, Alexis Croucher, who has an incredible story of self discovery and evolution throughout her adult years. She's a Gen X lez who came out late in life due to... well, the times. And Catholic school.
There is a repeating story line in this episode. Hardship ➡️ learning ➡️ forgiveness ➡️ hard work ➡️ happiness.
We are grateful for Alexis and her openness with us both in her work with us and in this sharing! Enjoy!
