42: Sunday Serenity Battling Isolation

Alyssa Rocco is on a mission to create positive change in the world. She came to Handel Group seven years ago with a desire to change her career. After spending nearly a decade in the biotech industry participating in the launch of two successful life changing medicines for Cystic Fibrosis and Hepatitis C, she still felt like there was something missing in her life. After one session with a coach at Handel Group, she quickly discovered what was missing - she wasn't living true to her own dreams; she wasn’t happy; and she didn’t know how to become happy. This realization inspired a journey: Alyssa became a coach, changed careers, learned how to date honestly, transformed the dynamic in her family, navigated addiction, and confronted how to create and maintain great relationships in her life. She brings a deep understanding of The Handel Method to the work she does with her clients and students at MIT. Her analytical mindset and process-oriented nature led to her work in the Media Division, and most recently, to build, test, and launch Inner.U, Handel Group’s first digital course. Alyssa grew up in Boston and received her Bachelor’s degree in communication, film and technical writing from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and her Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from the Massachusetts School of Psychology.

Sunday Serenity 9 - Movin On Up In Recovery

Robert Gilbert had it all going for him until he allowed Crystal Meth to enter his life.  He came from a good family being raised by a single Mother who worked hard to make ends meet.  Trying weed for the first time was not enough and then his high-school sweetheart turned him on to Meth, and his addiction monster was released.  Crime sprees to feed his habit, lockup, and all the while being a young parent was not enough to stop him.  It wasn't until he faced decades behind bars that he decided to turn his life around.  Now, with 5 years sobriety and a beautiful young family he is well on his way towards a productive life for himself.   Come with us and we journey into the life of Robert Gilbert and his transformation.   

32: Meth, Mistakes and Prison with Robert Gilbert

Taking the time to mentor someone and to contribute to their lives is an important function of giving.  Many of us have the time, the experience, success to pass along wisdom to those coming up.  I believe mentoring is the next step of service.  Today I speak on that plus the topic on boundaries.   For years I have felt that in recovery you are not supposed to utter the words, I will NEVER drink or drug again.  To me...this is this a, “free pass card?”  Giving permission for relapses? We must set boundaries, immovable boundaries:   When to say yes and no Take control of your life Personal property line (fence) Keeps us in and from going out Set our own boundaries, not other people Gates – Access in and out Drinking/Drugging/Eating boundaries How do you learn to have these – Say yes to the right things and no to the wrong things – choices Don’t let others move your boundaries Immovable boundaries Key is to set the boundary and set the consequence for violating Know they are working when other people are getting frustrated because of your new boundaries Have a great Sunday!
