hey, wait

Welcome back to the "Hey, Wait" Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we'll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today's episode, we are focusing on the first step in the 3 Step "Hey, Wait" Process… Noticing When You're Having a Bad Experience of Yourself Around Someone Else.

In life we often go into autopilot mode. How many times have you driven home from work and totally forgot the entire drive once you've arrived? We often do the same thing when we're having a conversation with others– totally forgetting to acknowledge the way that we're feeling in our bodies throughout our interactions.

Step 1 of "Hey, Wait" starts by recognizing how you're feeling. Take a moment. Connect. Breathe. By focusing inward as you carry on throughout your day and throughout your interactions with others, you are strengthening your neural pathways, bit by bit.

Welcome to the Premiere episode of the "Hey, Wait" Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. In each episode she'll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today's episode, Jay shares her story and the origin of "Hey, Wait"—and explains why it might be one of the most powerful phrases you can use every day. It's about choosing to stay solid in yourself. It's about choosing to have the kind of life and relationships you've always imagined. And it's about choosing to pause… check-in… and realign your insides with your outsides en route to recognizing that your reality matters too.

The beauty of saying "Hey, Wait" is that you actually don't have to wait until you're by yourself to be kind to yourself. You CAN have your needs met, and you CAN give yourself a better experience in the world.
