#329: This week, I sit down with Carey Cramer, an Anchored program alum, to explore their transformative journey through attachment healing and relational growth.

Over the past two and a half years since completing the program, Carey has developed a completely new way of showing up in relationships - one marked by presence, trust, and authentic connection.

Through our conversation, Carey shares how the combination of thought work and somatic practices helped them move from a place of constant relational dysregulation to being able to maintain healthy relationships. Carey's story demonstrates how doing this work ripples out to positively impact not just our own lives, but our entire community as we learn to show up with greater integrity and authenticity.

EEO Pre-Sale Has Begun!

For years, we've been gathering here on Feminist Wellness, unpacking the tangled thought habits that come from living through the lens of codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing conditioning.

#328: Do you struggle to make decisions, not because you're unsure of your desires, but because you're constantly weighing everyone else's?

This isn't just indecision; it's emotional outsourcing, a pattern where we disconnect from our own authentic wants in favor of what others expect.

Tune in this week as I share how, through practical somatic practices and nervous system work, we can begin reconnecting with our authentic desires and rebuild trust in our own internal wisdom.

#327: Imagine cutting veggies after a long day when your partner bursts in venting about their coworker. You care deeply, but right now, your shoulders tense, your jaw locks, and you're just not available – though you never say so. Instead, you nod, make the right noises, and count the seconds until it ends. Later, you're both left feeling vaguely disconnected, with a subtle rupture hanging in the air between you.

This disconnection happens when we skip conversational consent – not just physical consent, but emotional and energetic consent too. Most of us were never taught to pause and check, "Hey, are you available for this?"

Join me this week as I break down the truth about consent and requests in conversation, and what it means to name what you need. You’ll learn why asking for consent is a practice that’s especially crucial for those of us working to overcome emotional outsourcing tendencies, and how incorporating conversational consent helps us create genuine connection in our relationships.

If you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, anxious, wired but tired, shut down, or bouncing between them, there's a reason. One I know all too well.

In this new upcoming workshop, Regulating Your Nervous System: The Missing Piece, I'll help you understand exactly what's happening inside your body when your nervous system drives the bus. You'll learn how to come back to yourself, reduce your stress, and make real time change possible.

#326: Have you ever felt that sharp sting of resentment when watching someone set a boundary with ease or embrace their imperfections without shame? That irritation you feel might be pointing to something deeper – the very freedoms you deny yourself every day.

Join me this week to learn how our childhood pain shapes patterns that masquerade as virtues, making them nearly impossible to detect without compassionate awareness. You’ll learn a gentle, revolutionary practice to begin dismantling these invisible rebellions, and how this simple tool will help you start reclaiming the freedoms you've denied yourself and step into a life built around who you truly are, not who you're afraid of becoming.

You don't need another journal prompt telling you to trust your intuition.

You need to understand why self trust feels out of reach in the first place.

In my upcoming workshop, you'll learn the nervous system science behind why you don't trust yourself yet. We'll talk about somatics, polyvagal theory, and why people pleasing and perfectionism show up before your brain even catches it.

Your body already knows what you need. Come remember how to listen.

#325: How often do you find yourself seeking validation from others, feeling like your worth depends on what they think of you? 

I recently had a fascinating conversation with Abbie Attwood, an anti-diet, fat-positive, weight-inclusive nutritionist whose practice is grounded in self-compassion and intuitive approaches to healing relationships with food, movement, and body image. In this episode, we dive into what I call emotional outsourcing, and how this pattern shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, and codependency, creating cycles that leave us exhausted and disconnected from our authentic selves.

For years, we've been gathering here on Feminist Wellness, unpacking the tangled thought habits that come from living through the lens of codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing conditioning.

Are you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, second-guessing your every move, and feeling like you're constantly people-pleasing? It’s not that you’re broken—it’s your nervous system keeping you in these patterns for safety, even though they no longer serve you.

In this free, live workshop on Wednesday, May 7, we'll dive into the nervous system roots of emotional outsourcing, indecision, perfectionism, and codependency. You’ll learn why willpower alone hasn’t worked, and how you can break free from these patterns to reclaim your life.
