Becoming Fully Human

This ongoing series features couples who are examples of healthy, thriving relationships. So few of us grew up with truly inspiring romantic relationships to look up to, and this series aims to give you living examples of what is possible in love.

Lisa and Jacob have been in a relationship for 9 years, married for 4. Still embodying honeymoon energy, Lisa shares how she and Jacob met, how life changed (and didn’t) after marriage, her take on "the one,” and she shares advice on finding your person and keeping a long-term relationship alive and thriving.

“The human body is under no obligation to make sense to you.” - Dr. Perry Nickelston

Today’s episode is a deep dive into health with the great Dr. Perry Nickelston (aka the Lymph Doc). Although Perry is well known for his wisdom on lymphatic health, we chat about so much more than the lymphatic system. 

Some of the things we discuss include:

...and much, much more.

Check out Perry’s IG @stopchasingpain and visit his website stopchasingpain.com for all resources and upcoming workshops. 

Today’s episode is for anyone interested in non-toxic living. The conversation is with Rosica Petrova, the founder of Home of Wool. Home of Wool makes custom-made epic all-natural wool mattresses as well as various other non-toxic homeware, bedding, children and baby products. We mainly discuss the company’s wool sleeping pad mattress and all the questions I personally have about the product, including:

Today's podcast is straight from a Subtack audio file, which I normally have behind the paywall of my Substack membership. It was born as a response to my recent website article called "Grappling with Openness," where I explore why I am currently keeping my romantic relationship more private. As I dove into the rabbit hole of why and how we share, I realized that this is an enormous topic that applies to the realms of sharing both online and in person, to big audiences or a single person alike. 

How and why we share is a direct reflection of integrity. It impacts the magnetism of our energy field and how we either attract or repel good things into our life. 

I suggest reading the article first here: Grappling with Openness.

This episode is all about love: how to prepare for it, how to honor it, how we most often destroy it, when to walk away from someone we love, and exploring the concepts of "the one" and monogamy vs. polyamory. 

Read the quote Geraldine read to us from her new book HERE and purchase a copy of her new book World's Geography of Love. 

You can also listen to the extended audio of my exploration into apologising to stay in somatic integrity HERE. 

Today’s episode features a conversation with Ashleigh Warner, holistic family psychologist and the woman behind @raisinghumanskind. Ashleigh’s teachings on mindful parenting have blown me away. She shares so many tools to actively shift how we raise little ones, which (as we explore in the interview) reflects where we are at ourselves.

You can learn more about Ashleigh at:

The book that she mentions is, Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté.

Robbie is one of the few people I attribute certified Jedi status to. Rob is a dear friend, NeuroTrainer, and founder of Neurological Networks. In what will be more of a recurring podcast series, we explore various topics in the realm of health and wellbeing. Today we touch on various topics, including Liver flushes, true recuperation, fasting, weight loss, re-wiring your brain after the influence of porn, suppression, the bacterial, fungal, and viral infection triangle, Epstein-Barr, NeuroTraining VS Neurological networks, the importance of not making health your identity, and more.

If you want to submit a topic for us to explore during our next conversation, shoot me an email [email protected] or get in touch on IG @camillejulia 

The three Neurological Network courses we mentioned in this chat are:

Adaptive Immunity

Neurodynamics

In this episode, Geraldine Matus guides me through dream analysis, where my soul calls out to come home to the body. We explore my desire to "do the work" while simultaneously yearning to just be. We explore the hero's archetype, and we learn how we get to better know some of the characters that show up in our dreams.

Quote Geraldine reads us in this episode:

“What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love. Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order. It is a kind of balance that is his glory. He rides the drifts like an escaped ski. His course is a caress of the hill. His track is a drawing of the snow in a moment of its particular arrangement with wind and rock. Something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the laws of gravity and chance. Far from flying with the angels, he traces with the fidelity of a seismograph needle the state of the solid bloody landscape.”

― Leonard Cohen, Beautiful Losers

After 5 years without coffee, I have an updated take on my 2018 article The Caffeine Cult. Is caffeine still a cult? Absolutely. But is coffee the bad guy? Absolutely not. My updated musings highlight the importance of cultivating a healthy relationship with all forms of caffeine (matcha addicts: you're no longer off the hook), and I share my recent experiences trying coffee again after years, as well as some ways you can enjoy coffee in a healthier way. 

I hope you enjoy it! 

Geraldine Matus guides me through analysis of what I felt like somewhat of a random dream fragment, featuring a collapse of global power, a quest for survival, and some peanut m&ms. This episode felt more like a therapy session to me, in the best way. We explore my current romantic life, navigating projections in love, sitting with the discomfort of our stories, and how not to harm love.

This episode is super personal, and I hope you can see yourself in me and resonate with the quest to love unconditionally (and the work required to get there).
