Show Notes: 

PSA: We know the sound and video quality on this session is a bit wonky, we appreciate you hanging in there with us. We have resolved all technical issues for our episodes moving forward thanks to some googling and help from our friends, here’s looking at you MC!

In this Session Sara Cate and Ashley bring you some science (but not too much) around what it means to carry the imprint of your family lineage and history in your own bodies. They discuss the implications the lived experiences of our ancestors can have on our physical and mental health. They explore different ways to start to create new pathways for your healing both separate from and in relationship to your history. They remind you, dear listeners, to pay attention to your sensations and feelings in your own body to help establish a key support to work through the hard realizations that come up in your healing journey. As always it comes back to your body and what YOU need!

Most of us have not been able to find a home within our body because our life experiences have caused us to shut down, override, not pay attention to how trauma has affected us. As an adult we can explore and repair the things we need in order to create a home within ourselves…and sometimes that looks different than what we think it will. Join Sara Cate + Ashley in this wide ranged discussion about what home can be. They don’t believe it’s always “getting back to you”, because maybe that “you” wasn't aware of what you wanted and needed. This conversation opens the doors for more compassion, and an invitation to explore the expansion available to us all.

This week Sara Cate and Ashley have an honest conversation around the natural limits we all possess. There are so many messages that tell us we need to be more and have more even when we are empty. Your favorite duo round out this season, once again, offering you permission to be human and explore the difference between having enough and your belief of being enough. Trusting that even when it is hard, and you don’t show up how you want to, it isn't a reflection of what you innately deserve.

Real talk: Sara Cate forgot to do the show notes for this week. She realized it in the 11th hour after a sweet reminder text from Ashely. This was a moment she realized she couldn't do it all and the compassion from her friend let her have some more compassion for herself. This is the perfect example of not having enough and still being enough, thank goddess for the Ashley’s who remind us that we are enough without having enough.

Sara Cate + Ashley explore the pain, confusion, and conflict we all may be experiencing based off of global events occuring in Palestine and Israel. They invite you to determine what it is you are feeling based off of your perspective and understanding, rather than what the world may be asking you to feel. As always this conversation asks you to get curious about sensations and feelings that might be swimming in your body. They encourage you to allow for your experience to be valid and true while also acknowledging that others may be having their own experience that is valid and true for them. Sara Cate and Ashley know the pain in this world is immense and they hope this conversation offers you a place to land and feel what you need to.

Sara Cate + Ashley have a very candid discussion on how anger and rage can move through our bodies, how they’re similar, and how they differ. They truly believe that these emotions are not bad, but that they deserve to be acknowledged and supported so that they can be worked with. Our bodies are always here for us to lead the way; anger and rage can provide beneficial information to use. Sara Cate + Ashley discuss how these emotions might present themselves and provide support with the difficulties they can bring. This episode also offers practical exercises to help you work with the sensations you feel in your body the next time you experience anger or rage.

Sara Cate + Ashley dive into the difficult and dynamic  world of expectations. As always they illuminate the strong correlation between self worth and the expectations we may place on ourselves and others. As we change and become more connected to ourselves oftentimes then our expectations also change. When we find a home and safety within our own nervous system then we can allow the checklist of expectations to shift. When we focus on what we need from first our own heart then we can bring those expectations with clarity to others. As always Sara Cate and Ashley explore how we can feel this concept in our bodies and ways to explore and work with sensation in order to better advocate for what we want THROUGH our expectations.

Sara Cate + Ashley invite you into this conversation around sex and pleasure with curiosity, love for yourself, and discernment to allow what you need to come through. Unfortunately, because of the way society and our upbringing has shaped us, our relationship with sex and pleasure is often non-existent. There is no way for us to have a universal meaning of what sex and pleasure means to us because we all come from different lived experiences and backgrounds. Sara Cate + Ashley invite you to check in with what this brings up for you, remove some negative connotations and find a deeper connection to yourself.
