In Episode 11, my friend Elena shares her personal journey of befriending her body after experiencing deep depression and anxiety in her early adult years. Elena is a somatic practitioner who works with individuals and couples and teaches them how to to feel and balance their nervous systems in order to unravel unhealthy patterns and ground into a deep sense of self. In this episode, we discuss nervous system states, motherhood, marriage, martyrdom, victimhood, codependency, the importance of play, inner child healing, and more! This conversation with Elena felt so nourishing to me, I hope you find the same nourishment yourself!

In Episode 10, my dear friend Briana shares her personal journey of struggling with self criticism, feeling shame around her body, dealing with disordered eating, and navigating painful menstrual cycles. Together we explore how, over time, Briana has shifted out of self criticism and into a new found place of having immense love and gratitude for herself and her body. We discuss how inviting play back into our lives has been a big part of our healing journeys, and how fun it has been to reclaim the inner child that lives within us! In the second half of the episode, we explore the role our menstrual cycle plays in our lives as women, and how important it is to bring in more awareness around the impact our cycle has on our lives. I absolutely adored this conversation, and I hope you do too!

In episode 9, Dr. Sarah Campbell and I dive into the neuroscience behind the mind body connection. Sarah shares how our thoughts, orientations, feelings, and behaviors are all linked to our physical health. She opens up about her personal healing journey after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after an intense year of grief and navigating an abusive relationship. This conversation left me feeling so empowered and also filled me with so much hope for the collective healing that needs to take place! I hope you enjoy it!

In Episode 8, I open the episode up sharing about how I’m currently in the process of reclaiming my goofy and playful inner child. I then go into how and why spirituality has been such a big part of my life lately, and why it is coming in so strong in these early episodes I’m releasing. I explore how both open-mindedness and curiosity have played a very big and important role in the growth I have experienced over the last few years. I then invite my listeners to practice staying open-minded themselves, and I share my dream of being a bridge between many different worlds - with my main goal of assisting humanity along in remembering who we are at our core, and continuing to call in more love and compassion.

In episode 7, I have Brittany Chambers on to discuss the importance of trusting our intuition in early motherhood. Brittany is an Infant and Family Sleep Specialist. Her life's work is to protect infant and maternal mental health, and to help reduce the stress of early motherhood by normalizing biologically normal infant behavior. Towards the end of the episode, we both share a bit on our personal experiences of losing our fathers, and the spiritual connection we have with them.

In this week’s episode, I have Kat River on to discuss the importance of remembering and reconnecting with our creative selves through motherhood. Kat shares her process of honoring and embodying herself as multifaceted woman and mother - she shares how it does not have to be either/or, and how it can actually be a beautiful infusion of both at once. Kat shares her personal journey from maiden to mother, how she’s grown and evolved after birthing her two boys into the world, and how she balances her creative endeavors while mothering and tending to herself and her family.
