Combative Calm

I used to think I couldn’t trust myself — so much that I paid $10K a month to a coach to make every decision for me. What I didn’t realize was that self-trust isn’t a mindset issue, it’s a nervous system issue. In this episode, I share how being a 2/4 Generator with emotional authority in Human Design and understanding the vagus nerve as your second brain helped me stop outsourcing my power. Then...

This episode is all about building self-trust and giving you affirmations that don’t suck ass balls. I used to believe I couldn’t trust myself to make a single decision — so much so that I paid ten grand a month to a shady “expert” who convinced me I was helpless. Spoiler: she was wrong. This episode is your crash course in building self-trust when your brain is screaming you’re screwing it all up...

15 MIN Guided Meditation We all have that inner asshole — the voice that trash talks us, tells us nothing we do is enough, and drags us through bullshit stories we’d never say to anyone else.  In this guided meditation, we’re not shutting that part down or pretending the inner asshole is not there. We’re meeting them. We’re asking what they're trying to protect us from, what they need to feel safe...

When your inner asshole is on a rampage, no amount of “positive thinking” is gonna save you. Self-worth doesn’t live in your head — it lives in your body. This episode gives you quick, weird, nervous-system-friendly practices to shift the way you feel in real time: self-hugs, shoulder rubs, grounding breathwork, and one ridiculous roar that shakes the shame right out of your jaw.

You’ve been trash-talking yourself for years — calling yourself names you wouldn’t even say to your worst enemy. I know, because I did it too. One day I called myself a “stupid fucking cunt” out loud in front of a client. She cried. T hat moment CHANGED MY LIFE and showed me just how vicious my inner self-talk had become. This episode isn’t fluffy, diabetes inducing, sugary-sweet affirmations you...

This one’s for the days when your brain won’t shut the fuck up about how you’re behind, failing, or the world’s biggest screw-up. We’ll ground, gather all that comparison bullshit into a ball, spin it fast, and launch it into the cosmos where it can’t touch you.  Then we’ll call in what you actually need—compassion, safety, power—and anchor it into your body until it radiates through every inch of...

Ever spiral so hard you’re sure everyone hates you and you’re failing at life? Yeah. Been there. Last week my nervous system flipped the “everything is fucked” switch, and logic wasn’t gonna save me. This episode is all about nervous system resets you can use when your brain won’t shut the fuck up: Verbal Purge → trauma dump into a voice memo. Get the poison thoughts out of your head so they stop...

This one’s for the days your brain won’t shut up about how you’re failing at life, everyone else is sprinting ahead, and you’re crawling in last place. Spoiler: that’s not truth.   That’s your nervous system on overdrive. Comparison makes your amygdala scream “danger,” floods you with cortisol, and then dangles dopamine hits while you scroll yourself into shame. End result? You feel like shit in a...

Big Takeaway: You can feel anger, survive it, and walk out stronger. You don’t have to shove it down or let it explode — you can make it your ally. This isn’t a chill, floaty meditation. It’s about walking straight into the room with your Anger, looking it in the eye, and saying: Thank you. I see you. You’ve kept me alive. Now let’s do this differently. What happens in this episode: Grounding in s...

Sarai shares a raw story about a blow-up with her parents after years of swallowing anger — and how her body went full fight mode.

Quick Episode Map: Story: Confronting family over racist, bigoted talk → the build-up → the explosion....

Sarai gets real about her long history with anger — the one emotion she grew up “allowed” to feel and express. For decades, it was her fuel, her armor, and sometimes her identity. Now, after years of using it to get ahead (and burning out from it), she reframes anger as a protective messenger, not a flaw. This episode dives into: Why anger gets a bad rap — especially for women — and why that’s tot...

The flow: Shake — Stand up, loosen every joint, and shake like you’re flinging off years of judgment. Feel every ripple as proof you’re alive. Sound — Growl, curse, scream “NO” or “FUCK THIS,” and spit out every body-sh...

Sarai delivers a straight-talking, no-sugarcoating mini-episode on body acceptance affirmations for people who are done with self-hate but can’t force the “love every inch” mantra. Drawing from her own three-decade battle with an eating disorder, she explains that for her, body love began with acceptance —allowing her body to exist without punishment, even on bloated, uncomfortable, or insecure da...
