In this episode, author Alex McRobs shared her excitement about the upcoming release of her book, "Sober Yoga Girl," a project she has dedicated the last five years to. The book chronicles her personal journey through mental health, addiction, and recovery, taking readers on an experience that spans from Canada to Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Bali.

"Sober Yoga Girl" not only tells Alex's story but also emphasizes the transformative role yoga can play in the recovery process. The book is uniquely structured around the seven chakras, weaving in yoga philosophy concepts throughout the narrative. Alex described the work as her "baby" and a true labor of love.

During her appearance on the show, Alex expressed her eagerness to discuss several topics related to her writing journey, including how the writing process aided her recovery—particularly in relation to the 4th step of making an inventory. She also hopes to explore the delicate balance between speaking her truth and ensuring no harm comes to those mentioned in her story, linking this to the 9th step of making amends.

Additionally, Alex plans to share insights on how the book evolved alongside her personal growth, the intriguing connection with her ex-husband, who is also five years sober and writing a book about their shared experiences, and the chakra framework that underpins the book's structure. The conversation promises to be enlightening, offering listeners a deeper understanding of Alex's journey and the inspiration behind "Sober Yoga Girl."
