Oula Connected from the Vault

Kali and Bernice explore their own friendship and how their own boundaries and trust issues affect how they develop and maintain relationships.  They also talk about relationships with males and females, their insecurities in new relationships and what makes a good, longterm and meaningful friendship.

In this podcast, Bernice and Kali start with the quite heavy and all-too consuming topic of body shame. But by the end they are laughing about how actually ridiculous it would be to judge a chihuahua for not looking like a poodle, and hoping someday we can see this same ridiculousness with humans. "A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience." - Naomi Wolf

In this podcast episode, we talk about that old friend to so many of us... mom guilt. We also talk about bringing a sense of curiosity to our negative and uncomfortable emotions and the formula we have found to live our best lives--- self- realization through curiosity, followed by radical self-love (not easy!!!) which combine to help us set healthy, purposeful goals and positive direction for our lives.

In this week's podcast, Kali and Bernice discuss how we are raising our boys in this society and if they feel supported in their softness and vulnerability or if we are creating pressure for them to be aggressive, hard and strong. This episode was prompted by the lack of males in self-care + mind-body classes, and in response to the Florida shooting. Through this discussion, they are processing violence, gender roles and the various influences acting on our children.

In this episode, Kali and Bernice talk about the lenses through which we perceive our realities- the filters that dictate our perspectives, our motivations, and our pasts.

By identifying what our "glasses" are, we are allowed to have compassion first for ourselves and then for others. This knowledge can help us understand how we work to move past life's challenges.

In this episode, Bernice and Kali discuss how trauma and emotion can get "stuck" in the body. Through the context of the Larry Nassar trial, they explore how giving a voice to our low-vibrating emotions like shame and fear can help release us from their power.
