  • Welcome to Threshold Moments. Today I’m excited to be back in conversation with somatic relational psychotherapist and author of Healing the Wounds of Childhood and Culture, Dr. Don St. John.

    I first spoke with Dr. Don St. John in episode 68 where we discussed healing trauma, breaking patterns, and the many thresholds of Don’s 82 years of life.

    This week we’re reconnecting to dive deeper into the chapter of his book that centers on the heart and how to tend to our hearts as we move through thresholds in our lives.

    Tune in to learn more about:

    The intelligence of the heart and the blood it pumps through our bodies Ways we can connect more deeply to our hearts on a day-to-day basis How the state of our heart impacts those around us Everyday practices we can put into place to feel more connected with our hearts Connect with Sarah Follow Sarah on Instagram Learn more about Sarah’s work Join Sarah for 21 Days of Untapped Support Connect with Dr. Don St. John Visit Dr. Don’s website Get Dr. Don’s book Join Dr. Don’s newsletter
  • Welcome, dear listeners. This week on Threshold Moments, we’re welcoming entrepreneur, keynote speaker, feminist, coach, and author, Andrea Isabelle Lucas.

    Andrea is devoted to helping women stand up for themselves and take radical responsibility for their own happiness. Her gift is knowing how to take the next best step, one step at a time. Today, she shares that gift with us.

    Together we talk about how surviving domestic violence was the catalyst for Andrea for taking full ownership over her life and choices. We also discuss about micro-moments and why it’s key to honor even the smallest step forward.

    Tune in to learn more about:

    What it means to “own your life” The importance of honoring what your nervous system can handle when setting goals Why taking baby steps is an essential practice for making meaningful change Embodied experiences and why it takes your whole system to achieve transformation What it means to leave a legacy

  • Welcome, dear listeners. Today I’m welcoming the visionary, deep-hearted, Nisha Moodley.

    Nisha is an integrative leadership coach, the founder of Global Sisterhood Day, and a mother. As a mixed race woman with a background in health and executive coaching, intergenerational and energy healing and community building, Nisha has a unique understanding of the ecology of leadership and the ability to catalyze deepen growth for her clients.

    In this conversation, we explore how in her years of holding councils for woman, Nisha has learned to celebrate difference and transmute conflict.

    We also dive into the misconception that a woman’s mid-life is where she should begin to slow down and “be quiet” — and we explore what we have the power to do instead.

    Tune in to learn more about:

    How to cultivate safe spaces that aren’t conflict-avoidant The meaning of “Eros” and how it relates to how we experience our lives Why it’s essential that we honor the ripeness in a woman’s mid-life Trusting our inner voices even if what they’re saying is unexpected The power of widening our field of support to our environment and ancestors

    If you enjoy this episode, I invite you to explore Nisha’s new course, Ripe: Awakening the Wise, Erotic Power of Midlife, which she’s co-teaching with our last guest Ginny Muir this September.

    The balance of curation and letting go Dancing with the eros of life Ginny’s story of finding herself Why you have to be honest to get what you want Letting your soul sit in the driver’s seat How to heal in relationship
