Change is happening all the time—whether we realize it or not. But are we shaping it, or is it shaping us? In this episode, we explore **the paradox of change**—why it feels so hard, even though it’s constant—and how we can **rewire our minds** to create the life we truly want.

**What We Cover in This Episode:**

- Why change feels difficult, even when we crave it.

- How our **thought patterns** can either move us forward or keep us stuck.

- The **negativity bias** of the brain and why shifting into positive thinking takes extra effort.

- Three **powerful steps** to take control of your growth:

1. **Get clear on what you want** – Define your vision for the next six months and remind yourself of it often.

2. **Use visualization** – Your brain strengthens new neural pathways when you imagine your future self.

3. **Align your actions with your vision** – Small, intentional choices lead to meaningful transformation.

- How **Tulsi (Holy Basil)** can be a supportive herbal ally for adaptability and resilience during transitions.

We’ve all been there—that space between what was and what’s next. Maybe you’ve left a job, ended a relationship, or stepped away from an old identity, but the new chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet. It’s uncomfortable. It’s uncertain. And yet, this space—the fertile void—is where deep transformation begins.

In this episode, we explore:
🌿 What the fertile void is and why it’s an essential part of growth
🌿 The discomfort of not knowing what’s next—and how to sit with it
🌿 Mindfulness and embodiment practices to help you trust the in-between
🌿 How to shift from feeling stuck to feeling supported in the unknown

If you’re in the midst of change and feeling lost, this episode will help you reframe the void as a place of possibility rather than panic.

✨ Join the conversation! Let me know—how do you navigate the in-between?

Hey friends, it’s been a while! And I’m not apologizing for that. The world is hard right now, and I’ve been doing my best to take care of myself. But, man, WTF is happening? This is beyond politics—it’s about right vs. wrong, human respect vs. harm. As a therapist, I am ethically bound to be engaged in this. In this episode, I start with a rant about how I'm ethically bound by the American Counseling Association’s Code of Ethics to fight injustice—and how freeing that feels right now.

The second part of this episode is all about how to take care of yourself with everything happening. As a body-centered psychotherapist, I help people regulate their nervous systems. Today, I’m sharing how we can do that collectively.

With love and resilience,
Jacqueline

In this episode, I’m exploring my complicated relationship with the tiny word “should.” It slips into everyday life—“I should go on a diet,” “I shouldn’t feel this way,” “I should get more done”—and often leaves us feeling guilty or ashamed. Today, we’ll dig into the history of “should,” why it feels so heavy, and how little language tweaks—like swapping “should” for “could”—can help us be kinder to ourselves. We’ll also look at what happens when we “should” the people we love and how to create more connection instead of resentment.

Key Takeaways

Why It Matters
Ditching “should” can help you reduce guilt, ease self-criticism, and improve communication with loved ones. Think of it as a gentle mental re-set that leaves space for your real values and goals.

Next Steps

If you’re ready to explore these ideas more deeply and want personalized support:

I’d love to help you tackle those “shoulds,” clarify your values, and bring more ease into your life. Remember—change doesn’t happen overnight, but each step you take matters. Feel free to reach out and let’s keep growing together.
