For the last 2-3 years, I have highlighted by top 2 favorite podcasts of the year in my year-end Best of Series. This week, I am highlighting my coach, friend, and colleague Jay Fields. I would like to thank Jay for her guidance and instruction this year on inner child and parts work because it has made a huge difference in life. If you are not familiar with parts work, I am going to do a solo show on it soon, so stay tuned!

If you missed this show, you want to go back and listen. I promise; it’s a good one! Even if you did listen to this one, it doesn’t hurt to listen in again because Jay has wisdom galore. 

During the podcast, Jay and I chatted about:

1. What is the purpose of the nervous system and why is training it to serve us important.
2. Why is it easier to remain in our heads vs. listen to our bodies’ signals?
3. What does it mean to be embodied?
4. What is Jay’s Overthinking Quiz and why should you take it?
5. The meaning behind Jay’s popular phrase and podcast, “Hey Wait.”
6. How we can leverage these learnings to protect our energy.

Here is more about Jay:
