Beloved...Are You Awake In Your Recovery Room?

Have you ever woken up to realize that life has been happening while you were on autopilot? This episode of Robbin's Nest promises to guide you through a metaphorical recovery room, where the aftermath of life's surgeries—be it a breakup, job loss, or personal grief—offers a path to healing and resilience. 

Join in as we navigate the stages of recovery, acknowledging the pain yet celebrating the strength we gain as we wake up to our new realities. It's a journey of transformation, where each step, no matter how tentative, brings us closer to newfound clarity and purpose.

Together, we explore how life's unexpected challenges can become catalysts for growth. As we sit in our own recovery rooms, we monitor our progress, recognize new opportunities, and embrace the transformations that adversity brings. Whether it's fostering new relationships, pursuing innovative ventures, or finding a career that aligns with our values, these experiences mold us into more resilient individuals. 

Tune in for an empowering conversation that encourages us to honor our healing process and the new beginnings that emerge from what once seemed like insurmountable crises.

Welcome to Robbin's Nest, the empowerment podcast with nourishment for the mind and spirit. Welcome to the Nest.

Robbin Sexton: 0:22

I'm Robbin, your empowerment coach. Welcome to the Nest. I was thinking about people who have to have surgery and after this surgery, they have to go into the recovery room. When you have to go into the recovery room after having surgery, it means that something has happened. Something either needed to be removed, bypassed, or it had to be fixed. There was an event that caused you to require surgery. Something went wrong. Have you ever had something go wrong in your life? Parents getting older, getting sick, pass away, children acting up, or should I say it more properly, my children are not behaving in the manner that I wish they would, or just say it like we say in the South they acting up, your husband or wife getting on your last nerve. Something is not working the way that it's supposed to, so you have to have surgery. Something either has to be emergently removed or something has to be fixed or sucked out or tucked in. However, you got there. Now you're in the recovery room. You've already gone through the trauma of it the pain of the divorce, the grief of losing a parent or the grief of losing a child. Something was hurting you to the point that your very survival depends on having the surgery.

Robbin Sexton: 1:57

In the recovery room is where they are waking you up. You're trying to come back to reality. You're a little disoriented. You have oxygen in your nose and they're watching your vital signs to monitor your heart to make sure that you can safely come out from under the anesthesia. Has anyone woke up and realized that you have been under anesthesia? You've been asleep for an extended period of time, numb to something that is going on in your life, and now you're coming back to yourself. You're waking up. I should have cut him off a long time ago. Now I'm woke. I should have changed jobs a long time ago. Now I'm woke, I should have changed jobs a long time ago. I'm waking up. As I'm waking up, I still feel some pain. I know that something has been cut. I know it's for my own good, but it still hurts. I know leaving the toxic relationship is the right thing to do, but it still hurts. I know leaving the toxic relationship is the right thing to do, but it still hurts. Losing my best friend was for the best because we were not on the same page, but it still hurts.

Robbin Sexton: 3:18

In the recovery room they have phases: Phase one and phase two. You have to understand some things will take time to get over. There are some cuts that are so deep that you may not be able to jump up and run immediately after the surgery. My recovery is going to come in stages. Some days I feel strong, like I can conquer the world, and the next day I may not even want to get out of the bed.

Robbin Sexton: 3:50

I'm recovering from an event. I'm recovering from a trauma. I'm recovering from the rejection. I'm recovering from losing the job. I'm recovering from losing the business. I'm recovering from the heart job. I'm recovering from losing the business. I'm recovering from the heartbreak. I'm bouncing back. It may be slow, but I'm getting stronger every day. It may still hurt when I move, but I'm getting stronger every day. I may not be able to run like I used to, but somehow the healing is coming and I'm in the recovery room because the problem that made me go into surgery has been removed. The relationship is over. I'm in recovery. The friendship is gone. We don't talk like we used to, but I'm in recovery. I got new friends. There's a new relationship. There's a new business idea. There's a new invention. There's another job that's higher paying than the one that I lost, that I was so upset about. I'm in the recovery room.

Robbin Sexton: 5:04

However it happened, it might have been an emergency, it was unexpected. Something happened in your life that came so quickly that you had to go to surgery, and it was emergent. But now I wake up and I'm in the recovery room and I'm getting stronger. I may have to take my time and walk, I may be bent over, I may have bandages. That lets me know that something happened, but I'm recovering from it and when the healing starts, when the healing takes place and when I'm finally healed, I may see the scar. I may know that something happened, but when I touch the scar, now that I'm healed, I don't feel the pain of it.

Robbin Sexton: 5:49

In my recovery I'm on my way to get stronger. I know the surgery was necessary, I know the cut was deep, I know it hurt, but I'm in the process of waking up. I'm in the process of getting stronger. I'm in the process of going home and even recovering at home. Slowly but surely, I'll be able to return to myself. And when I touch the wound now it doesn't hurt. That's how I know I'm healed, because when I touch it, when I think about it, when somebody reminds me of it, when I see the old pictures. It doesn't hurt anymore. I had surgery, but my scar is healed and it doesn't hurt anymore. We're in the recovery room now. We're getting over it. We're getting stronger and we're going to come back better than we were before. In the recovery room is the place where I realize that the problem has been taken away. The problem has been taken care of and now I'm in my stages of recovery. This is Robbin from Robbin's Nest. We're in the recovery room. We're coming back better than we did before.
