In this heartfelt conversation, JackieOM sits down with parent coach Danielle Wiseman to explore one of the most important skills parents can develop: emotional regulation.

Danielle shares her unique framework for understanding emotional regulation as a living system made up of three interconnected parts: the child, the parent, and the environment. Together, they discuss why children's behavior is often a reflection of the emotional climate around them, how children "borrow" regulation from the adults in their lives, and why true transformation begins by looking inward rather than trying to fix our children.

This conversation explores emotional intelligence, nervous system awareness, intrinsic motivation, autonomy, self-care, family dynamics, and what it means to raise children who feel safe enough to become their authentic selves.

Whether you're parenting toddlers, teenagers, or simply healing your own inner child, this episode offers practical wisdom and compassionate insights that will leave you feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected.

In This Episode We Explore:

• Why emotional regulation is a family system, not an individual skill
• The relationship between the child, parent, and environment
• How children absorb our emotions before we ever speak
• Why behavior is communication, not a problem to fix
• How children borrow regulation from calm adults
• The difference between controlling behavior and creating connection
• Recognizing where emotions live in the body
• Teaching children emotional awareness through sensation rather than labels alone
• How to support children during moments of emotional flooding
• The power of curiosity and meaningful conversations
• Building autonomy and intrinsic motivation in children
• Why rewards and punishments often undermine internal motivation
• The importance of reflection over performance
• Creating emotionally safe family environments
• The role of self-care in emotional regulation
• Understanding triggers, nervous system responses, and inherited patterns
• When coaching helps and when therapy is needed
• Parenting alongside a partner with different strengths and values
• Raising children who feel free to become their authentic selves

In this conversation, JackieOM and Leslie Petrovic explore the concept of sacred space, emphasizing the importance of non-reactivity, breath awareness, and personal growth through yoga.

This 25-minute Yoga Nidra is a deep, restorative invitation back into your own energy, your own truth, and your own inner authority.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, energetically tangled in someone else’s emotions, or quietly drifting away from yourself inside a relationship, this practice is your soft return.

Through guided breath, somatic awareness, and intentional visualization, you’ll gently unwind from what isn’t yours to carry and re-root into what has always been yours: your clarity, your intuition, your boundaries, and your belonging to yourself.

This isn’t about hardening or disconnecting — it’s about coming home.
Back to your center.
Back to your body.
Back to your inner sovereignty.
Back to the part of you that never abandons you.

Let each layer of this Nidra guide you toward a tender reclamation of your emotional, energetic, and relational space.

What You’ll Experience in This Practice

✨ A soft descent out of fight-or-flight and into deep parasympathetic rest
✨ A grounding visualization to release what isn’t yours to hold
✨ A full-body rotation of awareness to call your energy back home
✨ A heart-center illumination practice for reclaiming your truth
✨ A guided intention for self-sovereignty and self-trust
This Yoga Nidra Is For You If:

• You’ve been carrying someone else’s emotional weight
• You feel drained or overextended in a relationship
• You’re healing patterns of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or over-giving
• You’re longing for clarity, grounding, or emotional autonomy
• You want to reconnect with your intuition and inner wisdom
• You desire a gentle but powerful reclamation of your energetic space
• You’re ready to feel whole, rooted, and undeniably yourself again

What You Need

• A quiet place to lie down
• A blanket, pillow, or bolster for deep comfort
• Optional: eye mask, headphones, or essential oils
• No effort. No performing. No fixing.
• Just you, resting inside yourself again.

How To Prepare For Practice

Yoga Nidra can be practiced at any time of day when you need the reset - in the morning to set the tone of your day, midday to realign, or in the evening to fall asleep. You are encouraged to set up a space where you can comfortably lie on your back as if you're going to sleep. Perhaps a bolster or pillow underneath your knees, a blanket to cover your body, and an eye mask or towel to minimize your intake of light. Get cozy and comfy - ANYONE CAN DO THIS practice!

What is Yoga Nidra?

NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is the scientific term for Yoga Nidra, the ancient art of bringing the body and the mind to the state of deep rest, relaxation and regeneration. During Yoga Nidra, you are not asleep, but submerged into the sweet state between sleep and wakefulness where the brain enters theta waves. In theta, transformation and healing occurs from beyond the mind rather than through the mind gifting us with the ability to rewire the brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency. Studies show that a single session of Yoga Nidra equates to three hours of restorative sleep improving working memory, creativity, and executive function, as well as reducing stress hormones and increasing the scores of wellbeing and joyfulness.

Affirmation for This Practice

My energy is mine. My truth is mine. My belonging is mine. I return to myself now.

In Episode 21 of Serenade to the Soul, JackieOM guides you through one of the most intimate and universal human experiences: losing yourself inside a relationship, a role, or a season of life — and finding your way back home.

This heartfelt conversation explores the dance between harmony and honesty, revealing how the desire for connection can quietly lead to self-abandonment. Jackie shares personal reflections on the subtle moments where we compromise our truth in the name of peace, comfort, or belonging — and how those compromises slowly distance us from who we really are.

Through somatic insight, emotional clarity, and compassionate storytelling, this episode invites you to rediscover your authentic self, honor your inner voice, and prioritize your emotional well-being. It is a gentle reminder that while losing ourselves may be human… returning to ourselves is sacred.This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself

• You’re craving emotional clarity or empowerment

• You’ve silenced your needs to keep the peace

• You’re healing from inconsistent or confusing relationship dynamics

• You want to learn how to listen to your body with more trust

• You’re ready to come home to yourself — tenderly and wholeheartedly

Mini Somatic Check-In from the Episode:

Take a breath, soften your jaw, and ask:
“Where am I abandoning myself right now?”Then:
“Where can I return to myself today, even in a tiny way?”

Takeaways

• We lose ourselves slowly, softly, in tiny moments of self-abandonment.
• Choosing harmony over honesty can lead to disconnection.
• It's important to listen to our bodies' signals.
• Desire for connection can overshadow our own truth.
• Earning love often comes at the cost of self-acceptance.
• Authenticity is crucial in building meaningful relationships.
• Self-discovery is a continuous journey that requires effort.
• Emotional well-being is rooted in self-acceptance and honesty.
• Finding balance between harmony and honesty is essential.
• Connection with others starts with being honest with ourselves.

In this enlightening episode of Serenade to the Soul, JackieOM welcomes yoga educator and anatomy expert Fauna Moore for a deep and soulful exploration of the body’s innate intelligence. Together, they journey into the subtle world of fascia — the body’s connective tissue network that influences everything from our movement and posture to our emotions and healing.

Fauna shares how understanding anatomy and fascia can open the door to greater self-awareness, pleasure, and compassion. Through heartfelt conversation, Jackie and Fauna uncover how our bodies serve as messengers, how movement can release emotional stories held deep within the tissues, and how cultivating a loving relationship with the body is an act of both healing and awakening.

This episode invites you to slow down, tune in, and honor the sacred language of your body.

• ​The body is a gift, offering endless opportunities for awareness and healing.
• ​Fascia is more than structure—it’s a living, sensory organ that communicates and connects.
• ​Pain isn’t always physical; it can be an emotional story stored in the tissues.
• ​Yoga helps regulate the nervous system and deepen body awareness.
• ​Fascia bridges our inner and outer worlds, weaving physical and emotional experience.
• ​Understanding fascia enhances our relationship with pleasure, presence, and movement.
• ​Compassion grows naturally as we understand our interconnectedness through the body.
• ​The body’s wisdom reveals itself through curiosity, movement, and self-care.

“What do you do if you’re already in heaven?” By Gil Hedley

Freely

Overlap,

And meander

‘Round the bends,

Empty places

Quenching

All.

Living waters

Carry you away-

Wait for nothing

Already flowing

In this restorative 30-minute Yoga Nidra practice, JackieOM gently guides you through a journey of deep rest and reconnection — an embodied follow-up to Episode 17, “When Love Hurts: What Our Bodies Know Before Our Minds Do.”

This practice invites you to soften, release, and rebuild trust within your own body. Through guided awareness and visualization, you’ll learn to listen to the language of your nervous system — the sensations, the stillness, and the truth beneath the surface.

As you rest in the spaciousness of Yoga Nidra, the body remembers safety, the heart opens, and the soul exhales. This is your time to return home to yourself — fully seen, fully heard, fully loved.

• Gentle relaxation and nervous system regulation

• Emotional release through guided awareness

• Restoring inner safety and self-trust

• Deep rest for the heart and mind

• Healing the body’s relationship with love and safety

• A trauma-sensitive, soul-centered meditation practice
