I Won't Hold Your Hand

In episode two of the guided not carried series, we have special guest, Felicia of Blissful Balance Yoga, a Nidra yoga practitioner, who also specializes in somatic therapeutic practices. We'll learn how to regulate our nervous systems by tapping into the parasympathetic, how to identify your triggers and how somatic practices can help you along your healing journey. Felicia will also guide us in a meditation to help regulating.

This episode begins the I Won’t Hold Your Hand series—a once-a-month guided healing journey designed to support nervous system safety, self-trust, and emotional intelligence throughout the year.

In this first installment, we focus on building inner safety and self-trust as Base Camp—the internal place you can return to when life feels overwhelming, triggering, or uncertain. This episode explores what safety actually means in the body, why self-trust can feel difficult for those with trauma histories, and how learning to stay with yourself becomes the foundation for all healing work. You’ll also be guided through a gentle, trauma-informed practice to help your nervous system settle and orient toward safety.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re always bracing, overthinking, or pushing through—and wants to learn how to come home to themselves without pressure or perfection.

Welcome to the first episode of the I won't hold your hand podcast formally known as sacred wonder podcast formally known as the Piercing the Paradigm podcast in 2026. We are coming at you raw, real and honest like the big sister who is motherly yet firm. I'd love to introduce the first episode of our podcast; get ready because this year we will have 24 full episodes for you introducing emotional intelligence inner child, healing shadow work and nervous system regulation. If you're new here welcome if you've been here thanks for riding it out with me.

In this episode, we dive into the tender and often unspoken reality of the Father Wound—how it is formed, the ways it can shape our childhood, and how it often continues to echo into our adult relationships and sense of self. We’ll explore what it means to uncover the root of these wounds, release old storylines, and begin the process of forgiveness, reparenting, and boundary-setting. You’ll also hear gentle practices for navigating triggers with compassion and creating space for ongoing healing. This conversation is meant to remind you that while your relationship with your father may have left imprints, it does not define who you are or what you are worthy of. To support you on your journey, I share resources including From Bastard to Beloved by Shaunta Jones and A Wound from My Father by Dr. Rosnell Simmons. May this episode offer both clarity and comfort as you continue walking your path of self-discovery and inner child healing.

Hello hello beautiful souls this week we have part two with our two very special guests near and dear to my heart: my brother Jason and bestie Danielle. We're gonna be picking up where we left off talking: dating and relationships while you're healing, while you're wounded, and while you are recovering. We get deep into the weeds of what we learned about dating and relationships through our childhood experiences and how that's showing up for us in adulthood and what we're doing to work through and heal those unhealthy attachments. The process of unlearning behaviors from relationships that no longer serves us. This is only part one of this wonderful step into healing and relationships.
