Send us Fan Mail Nervous System Activation Warning: In this episode, Teri Wellbrock shares her stories of Big T Trauma including physical, emotional and sexual violence.  The word “Resilience” is thrown around a lot these days in healing communities.  But have you stopped to think about what that really means?  Likely, it brings up thoughts of someone who has gone through difficult experiences and...

Send us Fan Mail Most of us grew up in school + family systems that reward standardized testing, quantitative results + efficient performance. We validate cramming for tests to get the A rather than emphasizing the integration and digestion of learning. From the time we enter kindergarten, our lives revolve around how we perform.  So it makes sense that we grow up into adults who see life as a lin...

Send us Fan Mail Conscious Relationships don’t just magically appear out of luck, fairy dust and wishful thinking. A relationship built on trust, belonging, and respect requires intention, unflinching accountability and solid communication skills.  I’ve invited two real-life friends of mine Megan McNamara and Paul Angelo onto the podcast this week because they’ve worked to co-create the kind of re...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is an invitation to be a pattern-breaker. When we experience “negative” emotions like fear, shame, anger and grief...we isolate that emotion, put it in a box and hide that emotion so it never sees the light of day. However, this strategy doesn’t magically *poof* make the difficult emotions disappear. Rather, they show up through overblown reactions and physical sig...

Send us Fan Mail In a culture where the value of a woman decreases when she is no longer a Maiden, stepping into the role of a Matriarch is a rocky transition. We become malleable to absorb the pain of others. We lose ourselves to make others comfortable. We take up less and less space which means we dull our voice.  Sometimes we don’t even realize that we are struggling with integrating a Mother...

Send us Fan Mail We all have a body. AND we all have a story about our body.  In particular, We all grow up with a story about what we are allowed to do and not allowed to do with our bodies.  And in turn, We all have a story about what other people should do or not do with their bodies.  Today, we are going to chat with Lindsey Lockett about Body Sovereignty. She and I are two people who view the...

Send us Fan Mail When you walk past a mirror, what is the first thought that pops into your head?  For most of us, that voice is critical, demeaning and oftentimes, downright cruel. We cling to the perception of “If only…” If only I were thin enough/muscular enough/booby enough/thigh-gappy enough...then life will unlock in all the ways that I hope and dream about.  In this week’s episode, I invite...

Send us Fan Mail We all say we want a healthy, secure, conscious romantic relationship without hesitation. But what that actually means and what it requires of you is a deeper and more nuanced conversation. So in this week’s episode, I step into that space with my dear colleague Katie Pijanowski.  Katie is the host of the Mind & Body Strong Podcast and she had me on her show to discuss Conscio...

Send us Fan Mail Communication is a learned behaviour. No one comes into this life with the pre-downloaded software of “Mindful Communication” already installed. Rather, we come into this life with needs and as children, we do our best to have those needs met. Often, those strategies need to be updated in adulthood.  Entering into a triggering conversation and responding with consciousness and min...

Send us Fan Mail It’s official, the doors to The Heart Lab are open for one last time in 2021. I could sit here and chatter at you about what it’s all about, but honestly, these two women say it better than I can. Because they’ve felt the transformations that happen when a community of aligned women come together.  Gathering in Circles is something that our feminine ancestors knew how to do, but i...

Send us Fan Mail My bestie Christina Cecconi and I have been taking you on a journey this year to do a deep dive and explore the energetics of each of the Elements and Seasons. We are finishing the Five Elements Wisdom Series today. In this week’s episode we are going to explore nourishment as seen through the lens of the Late Summer and Earth Element.  What You'll Learn in this Episode:  How...

Send us Fan Mail We are seeing ideological chasms being ripped through families, lifelong friendships and loved ones. Fingers being pointed rather than hands being extended. Words are being flung as bombs instead of being used for inquiry. If you’ve had a difficult, triggering conversation with someone this week, be honest...did you go into that conversation trying to understand them? Or did you g...

Send us Fan Mail My guest on this week’s episode is Andrew Kippen who is a Coach + Hypnotherapist who helps his clients launch their healing business to grow beyond being a side hustle into a successful career. The fundamentals of his work covers how to package, price, market and sell their gifts to generate a steady income stream full of their ideal clients. He comes to this work after spending y...

Send us Fan Mail One of the core values of The Empowered Curiosity Community is sovereignty over our bodies.  We cannot have body sovereignty without understanding what is actually going on with our bodies and I’ve been witnessing the non-consensual culture of how we recommend birth control to women since I became a health care practitioner over a decade ago.  This is why I wanted to have a conver...

Send us Fan Mail This week was really hard.  I did a big, brave thing. (I bought a schoolbus to convert into a mini-home) I made a big, hard mistake. (The schoolbus turned out to be a lemon and I lost $10,000) And I learned some big, hard lessons. (Well, you’re just going to have to listen to the episode to hear about that!) I am so grateful that I had this conversation with Hannah and Kelty of Up...

Send us Fan Mail Even though I have been deeply entrenched in the study of connection - from both the scientific and spiritual perspective - for YEARS, I am constantly humbled by the new wisdom I continue to stumble upon when I have conversations with other humans who are doing parallel work.  I am thrilled to introduce you to Zach Beach. He is an author, poet, yogi, love coach and podcaster and w...

Send us Fan Mail Intuition is a strangely illusive concept.  We can all look back on our lives and see where we may have been pulled away from intuition, but we’re not always in tune with it at the moment. In today’s episode, Kendra Adachi and I will do a deep dive exploration into where Intuition lives, why it gets pulled off track and how to listen to that inner knowing.  My dear friend Kendra i...

Send us Fan Mail The one word I am going to spend my entire life trying to know and integrate is “Dao”.   I am obsessed with understanding Dao even though I know that the closer I get to it, the less I will know. This word is nearly un-nameable because it takes on a unique meaning for each unique person. And I swear, I’m not trying to be obtuse on purpose here.  The words we have to translate “Dao...

Send us Fan Mail If you are on a journey to untangle from people-pleasing or perfectionist tendencies, you’re going to want to tune into this conversation with Courney Koester.  This might be stating the obvious to define what “people pleasing” is but I think it’s important to dive into nuanced topics with the same vocabulary.  I define “people-pleasing” as a pattern of putting the needs of others...

Send us Fan Mail I often get asked “How do I get over my stress/overwhelm/anxiety/depression?” Folks are looking for me to tell them exactly which protocol or modality to help them get out of their funk. “Is cognitive behavioural therapy the answer?”  “Should I try reiki?”  “How about a therapist who is trained in internal family system?” “What about acupuncture?” My answer is this: As a healing c...
