  • New brains for everyone! Paloma and Danny, The Founders of In the Cortex, are here to teach us how we can go back in time and give our brain the experiences it needs to repair and reorder, no matter our chronological age.
    Brain reorganization is a non-invasive method of completing lower brain development by re-creating the movements that we might have missed as babies.
    I am really excited about the work these incredible women are doing! This conversation is full of openness, invitations, reflections and insights into how we can access our truest sense of our humanity.
    There are just so many ways to heal.
    We also discuss how they work with subconscious reprogramming in the body, and our take on the sneaky barriers to healing.
    Their work is exciting and essential for those of us ready to do the repair work at the most foundational level.


    If you're interested in this work you can check out their website to learn about their programs: inthecortex.com
    They also have a wonderful podcast called "In The Cortex" on Spotify and Apple.

  • On Wednesdays, we talk about Codependency.

    And we're doing it with Erika Wright, a codependency and spiritual counselor who — with blunt straightforwardness, loving kindness, and a strong Boston accent — helps people get out of their own way and have a better life.

    Codependency is confusing, nebulous, and everywhere (including inside our bodies). We can't talk and learn about it enough as we ushed in this New Paradigm of Interdependence.

    Erika and I discuss the cultural legacy that shaped our codependent society, how to heal our relationship with reality, how to release attachment to outcome and shaping others, internalizing unconditional love, learning to accept multiple opposing truths, uncovering authenticity and trust, the power of choice and the privilege of healing.

    I loved talking about one of my favorite topics with this wise woman, she is so solid, self-reflective and relatable.

    Speaking of relatable, we did throw in some F Bombs in this one, so make sure you listen to it your adult time (because I am sure your children have never heard the F word come out of your mouth)!

    Erika and all of her wonderful work can be found on her IG: @erikawrighthcd

  • STOP EVERYTHING, EVERYONE...Jennifer Kolari IS ON THE POD TODAYYYY!
    The brilliant and generous Canadian therapist, author, speaker and brain/heart behind the Connected Parenting Model is here to teach us about how our brains and bodies work, and to give us so many actionable steps to take to uplevel our ability to dose our children with the protective neurochemicals that bring out the best feelings and learning from all of us.
    Probably no therapist has affected me, my parenting, and my career as much as Jennifer Kolari. In her grounded wonderful way, she illuminates SO much we experience in the Target aisle and our precious bodies and provides the most effective and concrete ways for maximum parenting impact and general life sustainability.
    In this episode she explains how she came to develop the CALM Technique through working with traumatized youth in Toronto, she explains the core tenants of the CALM Technique, how to become a healthy authority figure, limbic bonding and adrenaline play, how to de-escalate any situation with mirroring and empathy, and how to heal and reparent our inner child in micro moments throughout the day.
    Jennifer is this perfect bridge between the old and the new. She is such a visionary and innovator, but she is incredibly grounded and practical. She changed my life and brain years ago, and I am so excited for her to impact yours!
    Jennifer Kolari has her own podcast "Connected Parenting," where she doles out 15-20 minutes episodes on various topics to put her knowledge in the hands of parents for free all over the world. Her books, "Connected Parenting" and "You're Ruining My Life! Surviving the Teenage Years with Connected Parenting" are both essential guidebooks for our parenting years. She has a therapy practice in Toronto and San Diego, and trains therapists in how to become a Connected Parenting Facilitator. All of her goodness can be found on her website connectedparenting.com

  • We have another Neurologist on the pod today to help us understand what is happening beneath our skin. Let's geek out on the science of healing and living!

    Laura Cardwell is a Neurologist, mother, trainer and speaker who expertly explains many topics for us including the body as the subconscious mind and why change needs to happen there, healing the mind-body connection, the role of energy and frequency and the cultural historical reasons why science has only recently been going there, and quantum physics to top it all off!

    She gives concrete tips on how to master our energy and bodies, but most importantly, this episode is gives so much insight into how we operate with the latest scientific research that hasn't hit the culture yet (remember it takes about 17 years).

    If you'd like to learn more Laura and her work, you can do so on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lauracardwellqiw/

  • *Or, alternate title: "How to Consciously Parent the Toddler that is our Body."

    Yes, I know. Allow us to explain:

    Seasononed psychotherapist turned Intuitive, Embodiment, and Relationship Coach Meaghan O'Malley is on the pod today to further de-mystify somatics, embodiment and how to be in relationship with our bodies as the ultimate vehicle for healing.

    In this episode we talk about how to cultivate intuition through trusting the body, how to honor sensation and build a sense of safety in the body, how our body is essentially a toddler that needs to seen, accepted, trusted and soothed, the many ways the body talks to us, and how we can start to live a more aligned life when we are working with ourselves on this level.

    Meghan's approach to healing is both deeply grounded and empowering (with a sprinkle of magic), the combination we all need as we navigate these turbulent changing times. I loved this conversation!

    You can connect with Meghan on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/meghanomalleymagic/ and get more goodness from her!

  • The soft, wise, grounded Kirsten CoBabe is on the pod today to support and teach us how to attune to our teens (and ourselves!) as we navigate this dicey and impactful chapter in our parenting journey.
    This podcast got very big, deep and philosophical, but I think that's what we must do when parenting teens? Oh the bigness required!
    What I especially love about the teen years (and Kirsten and I want everyone to know this!) is that the brain undergoes significant growth and development, including a pruning process that removes unused connections and strengthens others. So if we were struggling in their toddler years, if we didn't have the knowledge or the healthy nervous system to support them, we get a second chance to deeply positively impact them in the teen years. YES
    We discuss the developmental growth happening in the teenage body and brain that is widely misunderstood by the culture-- which includes the heightened necessity of our own attunement and resonance, how to empower them to express their needs, how to lean into the self-involvement that is a developmentally necessity, how to connect with them, and how to support ourselves in this entire process (always!).
    This is one of my favorite conversations, Kirsten is a wise delight and you will be soothed and inspired whether you're IN the teen zone or it's comin' for you.

    Kirsten lives in Hawaii where she has her Teen and Parent Whispering Practice, and supports families all over the globe. Her Instagram is @kirstencobabe where you can find her gentle wisdom for parents in this pivotal chapter.

  • Brilliant, articulate fellow therapist Sarah Ann Saeger is here to help us learn to navigate what it means to be the first generation breaking free from the unhealthy and unhelpful ways we were parented, while also parenting and reparenting.

    This rich episode touches on the impact of childhood trauma on our parenting, understanding the inner child, attachment styles and healing our own attachment to Self, how to practice inner attunement, how to navigate the moving target of holding boundaries with our parents and why she is no longer referring to families as dysfunctional.

    Sarah's training is in Internal Family Systems, and we both share our wisdom earned and passion shared for supporting adults in reclaiming what was lost in childhood.

    Sarah Ann Saeger is a trauma-informed licensed counselor, writer and somatic practitioner, and fellow traveler. She helps individuals become the healthy adult their inner child needs after attachment trauma and discover healing in relationship.

  • James' wisdom is both ancient and forward-thinking. He reconnects us to the teachings of the past while helping us see the agency we have in our day-to-day lives to create the future we want to see.

    In this discussion, we cover how to harness our intuition and how creativity is essentially bringing into being something we haven't seen yet. The parallels to our parenting abound--how can we have faith in ourselves enough to trust the rightness we feel in the moment, and be buoyed by the belief that just because what we're building (whether that's writing a book or creating security in our attachments) can't be seen yet, it doesn't mean we aren't creating it.

    I joke that James is a "New Paradigm Preacher," and to me he really is. I deeply feel that we are being fire hosed in the face with information, and we need leadership and inspiration to adopt guiding principles that reframe our sense of ourselves and this world we live in. James' work affected my healing journey profoundly years ago, and I am honored to bring his work and wisdom to you.

    James is the author of "Sh*t Your Ego Says," "How to Laugh in Ironic Amusement at Your Existential Crisis," and the recently published "The Art of You; The Essential Guidebook for Reclaiming Your Creativity." James is a meme poet, thought leader, and digital mystic, and you can find his daily doses of humor, wit and wisdom at his Instagram account @wordsarevibrations.

  • We can dream right? Actually, we can parent in a way around screens and tech in a way that builds connections, awareness, and self-regulation in our kiddos around tech and Ash Brandin is here to help us learn how to do it.

    Ash Brandin has been a teacher for the past 13 years and has blended their love and knowledge of children and tech on their instagram account @thegameeducator, where they provide the soothing much-needed messaging on how we can navigate screens, behavior and *our own needs* as parents.

    There are ten million questions we have about the tech, and while this conversation only answers some of them (like parental controls, dopamine hits, fast screen changes, risk factors for tech addiction), what it really provides is a much-needed guiding principle on how to shift our view of the tech (that ain't going anywhere y'all) and to focus on how we can support our children in learning how to navigate it while also balancing our own needs as parents in this village-less world.

    This, is what we must, do now. I hope this conversation provides some empowerment and a bit of an exhale around this tricky tricky topic!

  • Child Neurologist Dr. Jorina Elbers is here to teach us how we can move ourselves into heart consciousness for our optimal nervous system health and impact in our parenting and lives. This work hits to the core of our Reprogramming, I could not be more aligned with her message and research.

    Dr. Elbers brings us the latest research from the HeartMath Institute, an organization that has been scientifically researching the healing power of heart, so that individuals, families and organizations can enhance their life experiences using tools that enable them to better recognize and access their intuitive insights and heart intelligence. HeartMath tools are being used by top performance athletes, CEO's, and mental health professionals to optimize their performance, functioning, and health, and now we're bringing this goodness to parents!

    This episode explains how our nervous system thrives, and how we can access that state in our moment to moment lives. Dr. Elbers also recently developed a parenting course for HeartMath, so this episode has her insights and recommendations on how to support our children's nervous system in the heat of hard moments.

    This is one of my favorite episodes to date, I am so excited to bring these tools and insights to the parenting space and to you today.

    Let's all do our work to "Feed the Field!" (you'll know what this means after listening).

    If you ate interested in HeartMath's work, their website can be found here: https://www.heartmath.org/about-us/

  • The incomparable Mary Van Geffen is here to help us parent our Spicy Ones, or know if we secretly are one too! Mary deeply understands the science of attachment and parenting, and provides such a soothing dose of wisdom, honesty, self-awareness and humor that can make you feel a little braver in whatever you're navigating in your body and in your relationships.

    We talk about how our spiciest challenges in whatever form they come, are often the biggest invitation back Home to Ourselves, because that is truly where we have our greatest power and influence.

    We talk about embodiment practices that we use, she provides journal prompts, we talk about tools to soothe nervous system (donkey breaths!), and even how she hacked her physiology on her lawn to prove her husband wrong.

    Mary is such a light and this conversations GIVES.

  • What if there was an evidence-based way to discipline and parent our children that builds their brains, their capacity for problem-solving, strengthens our attachment relationship and also reduced our mental load??

    Y'ALL. Not even kidding, this exists, and Dr. Tamara Soles is here to tell us all about it. I heard her on a podcast in 2018 and it literally changed my life-- I started implementing these principles in my relationships with my own children (and the families that I work with). This approach shifts us out of power struggles, indecision, and places a healthy amount of agency and power in our children's hands because children don't learn by being told what to do, they learn by making decisions.

    This approach prioritizes connection and collaboration, while holding high warmth and high boundaries.

    Dr. Tamara Soles is a Psychologist, Parent Coach, Podcaster and mother of twins, who deeply understands child development and the brain, and honors all of this while holding in mind our capacity as modern parents with limited support and time. Her approach is refreshingly loving and sustainable, while also empowering us to support our children in becoming the confident, internally driven intuitive adults they are meant to become.

    I am so excited to share her and her work with you!

  • Today on the podcast we are going deep into aggression and how to support our children when their behavior manifests as such. Tosha deeply understands the neuroscience of safety, and how we can provide the felt experience first in our bodies and then in our relationship with our child.

    This episode provides insights, empathy and many ideas that you can start to implement today for your sweet child who is struggling with aggression.

    Tosha is a parent coach, mom, author and runs her program Parenting Boys Peacefully, where she has laser focused in on how to support this specific highly challenging behavior. Tosha has collaborated with Dr. Shefali and has worked with families all over the world. If you feel called to work with Tosha, she is having a FREE Workshop called "Stop the Aggression," on March 12, link below:

    https://parentingboyspeacefully.com/free-workshop/?affiliate=thereprogrammedparent

    I know how hard aggressive behavior can be to manage and support. I've never seen anyone focus in on this topic quite like Toscha, she gives this area the attention, tools and support it deserves!

  • If you are into two women in black turtlenecks talking about the healing power of dance, embodiment and spirituality, then you are going to love this episode with Asheville Icon, Misa Terral.

    The more I learn about trauma and the nervous system, the more I value somatic expression--and there is no method quite like music plus dance plus community.

    Misa is at the helm of Soulpower Dance, where she incorporates conscious choreography, energetic awareness and heart expanding moves inviting fun and freedom while digging deeper into embodiment, emotional wholeness and the spirit within. She creates safe playful spaces where we can emote, feel our power, move our anger, integrate our shadow, and experience the psychological phenomenon of Collective Joy.

    Dancing to move and experience emotion has been pivotal in my healing and returning to Self, and I have had profound shifts in Misa's classes. I am so excited to have her wise grounded presence on the podcast today to explain how her work works, how she came to it, and what she feels about life.

    She is a wise one y'all.

    If you are not local to Asheville and feel drawn to work with her, Misa offers coaching as well and you can find that information here: https://www.soulpowerliving.com/coaching

    Her IG is @soulpowerdance where she keeps us informed of her endless offerings that vary in topic but always return to the theme of accessing and embodying our highest selves.

  • Dutch Psychologist Barlas Gunay of the powerful and insightful Instagram account @acceptandact is here to go deep into all the things we Cyclebreakers need to know to heal, reclaim our power, and find peace and ease in our lives.

    We talk about anger and why women struggle the most with this (and it's consequences), we talk about nervous system self-regulation, we talk about inner child work, shadow work, and the trends that he sees culturally that give him so much hope about the healing possible for everyone in this Age of Information.

    If you notice me covering the same topics over and over again at times, it's because I am! We can't learn enough about nervous system health, inner child work and Shadow work, and I absolutely love the way Barlas explains it all, how passionate he is, and how he is embodying the healthy masculine energy we all need.

    If you would like to connect with Barlas, his IG is @acceptandact, there you can join his Patreon and get connected to his Cyclebreaking community and support group.

  • Fellow therapist, coach and Instagram co-worker Shenikka Moore-Clarke is here today to explain many healing concepts that we all need to know about now, such as attachment, projection, somatics, cyclebreaking while parenting and The Safe and Sound Protocol, a nervous system healing tool that seems like it comes straight out of Star Trek.

    This is an informative conversation between two clinicians and mamas who are living the work, who found their way back home to themselves in similar ways and are eager to teach others about what they've learned.

    Shenikka is a long licensed clinician who had a health crisis land at her doorstep, and pushed her to move into somatic and nervous system healing work for her own healing.

    Shenikka is my favorite kind of clinician, one who humbly guides her clients back towards their bodies and themselves.

    If you would like to connect with Shenikka, follow her informative and funny IG at @the.healingvibe.

    If you would like to find a clinician in your area who offers the Safe and Sound Protocol, you can look at this website: https://integratedlistening.com/products/ssp-safe-sound-protocol/?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign={campaign}&utm_content={content}&hsa_acc=2148588241&hsa_cam=15801363830&hsa_grp=152522012308&hsa_ad=638351133499&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=dsa-1922928373574&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8YyuBhBSEiwA5R3-E9qRNYAjOlSdWUFAiXaSRdEhaxVWyZFWRSH43ww1IOe5nxwcpY91ThoC3fUQAvD_BwE

  • OK y'all, I know I am the Queen of Hyperbole, but are you ready to be forever changed??

    This episode with journalist and author Rose Hackman will make you pissed, empowered, and will lift the veil (once again, because that's what we do now!) on what Emotional Labor is, how you're (probably) doing most of it, and how the people in your lives (cough cough, men) are absolutely able to do it as well.

    I have a hunch that Emotional Labor is a term you've heard whiffs of on Instagram, but you're not quite sure what it is. Rose Hackman literally wrote the book on it and spent years heavily researching the topic, how it plays out in our society, and how we can move our way out of the insidious expectations on women that are robbing us of our energy, influence, and making us feel so damn resentful.

    There is tenderness and hope here-- I'm very intentionally not wanting to man-bash here, but I deeply believe we do need to understand these dynamics so we can see them, and then change them. This is a potent episode and you will not want to miss it!

    Rose Hackman is the author of Emotional Labor; The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Claim our Power, which you can purchase here: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/emotional-labor/

  • This POWERFUL episode with researcher, author and teacher Sarah Peyton had me taking notes and crying, because she explains what hurts us and what can heal us in the most validating scientific and soothing way possible.

    Unlike anyone else I have yet to meet, Sarah has gone deep into the research of our brains and how not only our early attachment wounds and non-verbal messages have impacted us, but also that "the brain is forever available for resonant support and accompaniment."

    In this episode we discuss the unconscious contracts we make with our parents to make ourselves bad instead of them, the socially normalized traumatized default mode network (that's the part of our brain that goes offline when we do psychedelics), how we can move unintegrated painful experiences into a different part of brain so we are no longer activated by present day similar experience, the dark insula, and how we can time travel using our imagination to reorganize and heal our brains.

    This episode shifted so much for my awareness as a mother, human, and healer, and you deserve to be empowered and inspired by such information as well. Enjoy!

  • Wise and gentle Lelia Schott is here to honor our children and nurture us into neuro emotional awareness and healing for general life sustainability and parenting impact.

    As she states, “connection is a child’s deepest need and a parent’s highest influence.”

    AHHH. You know I love her.

    Lelia deeply understands the neuroscience behind our humanness, and like me, prioritizes everyone’s experience so that we can actually implement and embody the healthy ways we’re trying to treat our children.

    This is a nice long back and forth conversation between us where we impart the knowledge that we have gained in our own healing journeys and how we’ve grown alongside our children. As you start to immerse yourself in these new concepts, this is the perfect way to marinate in these ideas with yumminess of our accountability, reflections and “me too-ness.”

    Lelia is a South African mama of 6 who does 1-on-1 Coaching with parents all over the world, and also has a Course Offering called The Empowered Parenting Course where she covers topics such as Making Sense of Attachment and Nervous System Science, Anger and Healthy Aggression (YAS!), Playful Parenting and Storytelling and Your Personal Transformation. I so align with all that she focuses on, and in the gentle nurturing way that she does and I trust that you will too. Enjoy!

  • Grounded Queen Chelsea Buncher is on the pod today to talk about her deep reverence for nature/the body and it's innate healing abilities as an acupuncturist, single mama, and woman in a body over 40.

    Chelsea talks so beautifully about the epiphanies that she had in her life that led to her philosophical stance on being a healer, and how she empowers her children to trust and attune to their bodies and surroundings as well.

    This conversation is such a refreshing reframe on how we can have deep reverence for the body, and support our children to live aligned with theirs. She and I give recent examples of how we are honoring our children's bodies and supporting the messages from and needs of the body, and also how we can live in alignment with the seasons during these cold barren winter months.

    So glad this fellow mama provided us with such warmth when we need it the most.

    Here is the book Chelsea read that shifted her disordered eating:
