You were the responsible one. The backup parent. The one who held it all together before you were old enough to know that was not your job. This somatic healing meditation finally seeswhat you carried — and gives you permission to put it down. Includes 12-min guided journey.

For the eldest daughters. The parentified children. The ones who grew up too fast because someone had to hold things together, and it might as well be you.

 This meditation explores what it cost you, what your nervous system learned, and how to finally lay down theweight you were never meant to carry.

Your labs came back "normal." But you don't feel normal. The pain is real. The fatigue is real. And no one seems to understand why your body won't just... cooperate. If you're living with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, or an autoimmune condition, this episode is for you.

In this healing talk, somatic therapist Abi Beri explores the profound connection between your nervous system, unprocessed trauma, and physical symptoms that won't quit. You'll learn why your body isn't betraying you — it's protecting you, with outdated information. And you'll discover what actually helps (hint: it's not "pushingthrough").

Includes a guided somatic journey to help you begin befriending your body again.

In this episode:

• Why your nervous system gets"stuck" in survival mode

• The HPA axis, polyvagal theory& autonomic dysregulation explained simply

• Why pushing through makeschronic conditions worse

• Titration: the art of goingslow

• A gentle guided practice forchronic pain

• What your symptoms might betrying to tell you

When's the last time you let yourself feel truly angry?

Not the explosion kind. Not the leaking-out-as-resentment kind. But clean, clear, protective anger — the kind that says "no, this isn't okay" and means it.

For many of us — especially women, especially people-pleasers, especially anyone raised to "keep the peace" — anger has become a forbidden emotion. We've learned to swallow it, apologize for it, turn it inward against ourselves.

But here's the truth: anger isn't your enemy. It's the protector of your boundaries, your values, your sense of self. And when we lose access to it, we often lose the ability to say no — to know what we actually want — to feel fully alive.

In this episode, somatic therapist Abi Beri explores why we learned to fear our fire, what happens when anger gets suppressed (hint: it doesn't go away), and how to reclaim healthy anger through somatic awareness. Includes a journey to help you meet your protective fire safely.

In this episode:

• The difference between reactive and healthy anger

• How childhood and culture taught us to suppress our fire

• The fawn response and people-pleasing as anger turned inward

• What anger feels like in the body

• Somatic techniques for reclaiming healthy anger

• A guided journey to befriend your fire

Do you feel like you're visiting this world rather than living in it? Like you missed the manual everyone else has? This somatic meditation is for the old souls — those who carry weight they can't name, see too clearly, and find meaning in glimpsesrather than sustained happiness. You're not broken.

This isn't about fixing you. There's nothing to fix This meditation explores the exhaustion of being here — that heaviness that isn't quite depression, the disconnection that isn't quite loneliness, the weight in your cells that sleep doesn't touch.

The nervous system doesn't do fast. When we try to forcehealing, we often retraumatize instead. This somatic journey explores two foundational concepts from Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing: titration (approaching trauma drop by drop) and pendulation (the natural rhythm betweenactivation and settling). Learn why going slow is actually the fastest way to heal. Includes a guided somatic journey into touching and returning. Your healing will take as long as it takes — and that's okay.

Your ancestors live in you. Their gifts, their struggles, their unfinished business — all of it flows through your cells, shaping your life in ways you may not even recognise. In this episode, I guide you through a comprehensive ancestral healing experience. First, we explore what the mother line and father line each carry — their particular wounds and gifts.Then, I lead you through two separate healing journeys to meet, acknowledge, and receive blessing from each lineage.

Rooted in Family Constellation principles, this work helps you see what you've been unconsciously carrying, return what isn't yours to hold, and receive the support your ancestors are longing to give you. You don't need to know your family history. The connection is already there.

For the tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. A somatic healing meditation exploring why rest feels impossible for some nervous systems, the difference between rest and collapse, and why permission is medicine. Includes a guided journey to put down the weight. You've done enough.

What happens when you've done all the inner work — and the pain is still there?

This episode is for anyone who's been told they should be "over it" by now. Anyone exhausted from chasing the next healing programme. Anyone carrying grief that doesn't end, trauma that doesn't resolve, pain that doesn't lift.

We explore why the promise that "everything can be healed" is sometimes a lie — and what real healing might look like when the pain stays.

Drawing on somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, ACT, and family constellation work, this is an honest conversation about radical acceptance, healing fatigue, and learning to live a meaningful life alongside suffering.

Not toxic positivity. Not false hope. Just permission to be human.

What happens when a child grows up with parents who can't meet them emotionally? Not cruel parents, necessarily. Not abusive parents. Just... limited ones. Ones who couldn't give what they didn't have.

In this episode, I explore the different faces of emotional immaturity — the emotional parent, the driven parent, the passive parent, the rejecting parent — and what each does to the child who must adapt to them.

We look at role reversal, when children become their parents' emotional caretakers. The particular loneliness of being surrounded by family but never truly known. How these patterns travel into adult relationships. And what your body has been holding all these years.

The episode includes a gentle somatic healing practice — a chance to meet your inner child and offer them what they've been waiting for.
