Untame Yourself Podcast

Sensitivity warning: conversations about ED, Suicide/SI and body image And we are back… It has been a bit. I never intended to take a year off but life just continued to life. I’ve been navigating through a lot, but this episode has been sitting in my computer and the other day I said, “it is time.” This episode listens much more like 2 friends sitting in their living room having a conversation be...

It’s the eve of my 38th birthday, and honestly, I wasn’t planning to record anything. But as I sit here reflecting on this past year, I can’t help but feel like I need to share. This year has been… a lot. Like, painfully transformative but also breathtakingly beautiful—a year that has stretched me in ways I didn’t think were possible. The person I was a year ago and the person sitting here now? Th...

It is the last date of CPTSD awareness day and this is one of my most requested episodes. CPTSD is something that still has so much misinformation, lack of awareness and education and lack of recognition. Those of us living with this disorder oftentimes feel misunderstood. We feel alone in our struggle. We feel isolated and we feel like there’s no way anyone could possibly understand the things th...

I am really excited to announce this week’s podcast guest, Jabria. She is a canna-coach helping people find a healthy and balanced relationship with this beautiful and healing plant. I don’t want to say too much about this episode, because you should really just go give it a listen! We dive into our journey’s, how the plant has been pivotal in our healing, the history and demonization of the plant...

I was creating a reel this morning and the sound inspired me to plug in the mic and speak to this. “Your nervous system will choose a familiar hell or an unfamiliar heaven.” And if this isn’t the truth. On this mini-episode I talk about how the nervous system creates its pathways and how we can crate new ones. It is through navigating through discomfort. This isn’t the kind of discomfort that lead...

I took an unintentional break from recording. I had several episodes recording and was being hyper-critical about them. I woke up this morning with this on my mind so here we are. How many times have we been in a situation where we think we can love someone into healing? If you just do all the things right then maybe they will treat you better. Maybe they will choose differently. The thing is that...

I was doing dishes last night and had so many things overflowing from me that I sat down to record not sure of what was going to come out. I knew I wanted to talk about love but I wasn't sure exactly how this episode was going to shape itself. This was my whole reason for starting this podcast. So I could share the things that flow through my mind in the hopes that maybe someone can take a page fr...

When I started this podcast, I wasn't sure if I would ever have guests. I needed to just start without thinking about it or I was never going to start. After I announced my first episode, my friend Nykesha told me that she would love to come chat if I ever have guests. I immediately said yes! In this episode we talk about Nykesha’s journey to the work she does today. Tips on how to raise anti-raci...

I posted a reel this about that started with “Do you ever think: I’m gonna f**k around and try to control the things I can’t control?” That reel led to this episode. Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts! If you listen to this podcast on apple or Spotify, I would absolutely love if you can take the time to give me a review! Thank you!

This episode ended up taking a completely different turn than what I initially intended. I hit record with one idea and another flowed out so I just went with it. There is a big narrative in the healing and spiritual works of “letting it go.” This is something that is often brought up with emotions, traumas and life experiences. We often hear “You have to let the past or current version of you go...

This episode is one that I have sat with recording for a while and one that comes with a trigger warning. I give no details, but do talk about the topic of SV, CSA and SI. I was very careful with my words, but please know what space you are in and if this is something that will be beneficial for you right now or not. If you are someone who has a loved one who is in a situation like this, this may...

This week’s episode is coming from the road. Sharing some wise words a friend shared with me and the importance of time spent alone with yourself. Get full access to Untame Yourself at theuntamedherbalist.substack.com/subscribe

Do you ever feel like healing is so overwhelming because you believe you need to be fully healed to experience life? In this week’s episode I talk about chasing healed and how it will continue to holds back from living life and experiencing life to its fullest. Shifting your perspective and understanding that we are healing, we are not healed. Healing is a part of life that we integrate in and ebb...

In this week’s episode I talk about the spectrum of coming back home to ourselves that we experience in life. From big rebirths to just simply connecting to yourself each day and calling all parts of yourself back home. Life has a way of pulling us in every direction and sometimes that results in us going outside of ourselves to meet those requirements, to avoid discomfort, etc. Whatever your jour...

My best thoughts come to me on my nervous system walk. It allows me to process through everything I feel and the words just start to flow in a way they don’t when I am just sitting. I’ve been reflecting a lot on how we are not taught how to grieve. There isn’t a handbook or an Idiot’s guide to grieving. The reality is that grief is just a part of life. We look at it as something that comes and goe...

The number one thing I hear from people is “When are you going to start a podcast?” or “You should start a podcast.” It always seemed like such a big undertaking… the time, the production, scheduling, organizing, etc. This eclipse season has me deeply reflecting on where I hold myself back. What areas of my life do I constantly have excuses for reasons why not to. The reasons why to quickly fade t...
