18: self-regulation

join me in this analysis of the fluid nature of concepts such as “good” and “bad” through the lenses of short-term relationships, sex, and contradictory truths.

so much of my life has been spent chasing an arbitrary future full of bliss, and I’m realizing that’s not the point of the human experience. the point is to cultivate presence. I discuss things that bring me out of the present moment: constantly thinking something is wrong with what I’m currently doing, society’s version of romantic love, and not being in my body, and falling off my soul’s path. this episode ends with ways to figure out how to bring ourselves back to the gift of where you’ve always been: the present moment.

this podcast turns one today! in this episode we discuss the rebrand, catching yourself slip into old patterns, romance programming, and redirecting yourself back to your intuition.

topics include: not doing well, possibly rebranding this podcast, and the concept of operating from our hearts instead of our minds/bodily sensations

This episode is all about everything I’ve learned while traveling recently & the effects my childhood home have had on my body. As you become more integrated into your body, you are able to notice how the energy of a place affects you beyond what meets the surface. When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment that it grows in, not the flower. This episode is about starting where you are and grounding yourself in your body regardless of what’s going on around you.

Jessica Dore said, “How many times is springing into action actually a refusal to feel what the thing made you feel?” This episode is all things emotions, feeling your feelings, reactivity, regulating ourselves, and compassionately taking responsibility for how we respond to the behavior of others.

Join me in this episode where I talk about my biggest fears, lessons in sobriety, tackling abandonment issues, and more thoughts on alone time & self-love :)

In theme with last week’s episode, we are talking about dating triggers. Historically, I’ve pretty much only dated men who were either good for me mentally and bad for me physically (aka s*x) or vice versa. What if both is possible? It just might be! Join me in learning how to rewire your brain+body to process new information that contradicts what you learned during traumatic experiences.

We are once again talking about the topic I hate to love: romance. I haven’t processed some things that were mildly traumatic within my dating life until very recently, but I am so grateful to finally be in a space where I can let those experiences go. I probably have said some of this stuff before, but I definitely wasn’t embodying it. This is the beginning of a series on somatic processing in the presence of other people :) I also say the phrase “don’t get me wrong” no less than 500 times in this episode.

Woooo! Our first guest is my dear friend Tess Garcia.
