Achelois Holistic Wellness

We don't always get to choose when life asks us to be alone.

Sometimes it happens through a breakup, the loss of a partner, empty nesting, or another major transition.

In this clip, Kari talks about why there's something powerful about choosing a little discomfort on purpose. Practicing being alone when we have a choice may help us feel more capable when life eventually puts us in a situation we didn't choose.

Being alone can be uncomfortable, but it can also teach us something about ourselves.

This conversation is from our latest episode of This Is Not Therapy, Solo Doesn't Mean Lonely: The Power of Doing Things Alone, where we talk about solo experiences, solitude, and learning to be more comfortable with our own company. Available on YouTube and Spotify.

Yoga isn't always love and light. Sometimes you need space to get mad, move your body, make some noise, and let out what you've been holding. 🔥

Amanda Solt is bringing **Rage Against the Mat** to Achelois in Northeast Minneapolis for a one-night yoga pop-up that's giving you permission to misbehave.

Expect big, flowing movement, loud music, loud swearing, and a little chaos. We might scream. We might throw some yoga blocks around. Then we'll slow things down, calm the energy, and close the container so you leave feeling less burdened, more grounded, and ready to take up a little more space.

✨ **EVENT DETAILS**
📅 Friday, October 23, 2026
🕕 6–7:30 PM
📍 Achelois at Northwind Lofts, Minneapolis, MN

This is a one-time pop-up, not a series. It's a women-only space, open to anyone who identifies as a woman.

What does rebuilding trust actually look like in a long-term relationship?

Jordan Czerner Garcia talks about why trust isn't always rebuilt through big, dramatic gestures. In a marriage, especially after years together and with kids in the mix, trust can be rebuilt through the small, everyday acts of care that show your partner you're paying attention.

A cup of coffee. Making the bed. Picking up the groceries. Spending quality time together. Learning how your partner actually receives love.

Those little things can seem insignificant on their own, but over time, they can help rebuild something much bigger.

Jordan also talks about what happens when trust is broken, and why the person who broke the trust has to take on more of the work of rebuilding it.

How much of your life are you actually choosing?

Jordan Czerner Garcia, founder of Side by Side Wellness Coaching, talks about what happens when we spend our lives climbing the mountains other people told us we were supposed to climb.

The milestones. The accolades. The expectations. The boxes we're handed from the beginning.

And what happens when you finally stop and ask: Is this actually the life I want?

Jordan shares how being q***r and trans has shaped the way he sees the systems and expectations that can keep us trapped, and why his work in relational counseling is so deeply connected to relationships, healing, and authentic power.

Sometimes the path forward starts with questioning the path you've been on.

The language we use around su***de matters.

In this clip from This Is Not Therapy, Kari and Kamila talk about the shift from saying someone “committed su***de” to saying they “died by su***de.”

Changing the language doesn't change what happened. It can change the way we understand the person who was struggling and help us move away from blame and stigma.

This conversation is part of our episode about su***de, suicidal thoughts, mental health crises, and finding support (Mental Health Crisis: How to Ask for Help and Support Someone Else).

Content warning: This Reel discusses su***de and death by su***de.
