Welcome
To the very first episode of the Soma Moon Wellness Podcast—a space for women at every age and stage of life to have better conversations about health, leadership, and coming home to themselves.
In this opening conversation, Jeanetta Bodie and Stephanie Woods share the story behind Soma Moon Wellness and the question that changed everything:
What if significance isn’t something we earn, but something we already are?
They explore how so many women learn to prove their worth through performance, productivity, and perfection—and what it looks like to step out of that cycle and into a gentler, more grace-filled way of living and leading.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Performance, productivity & burnout | How overworking, over-giving, and “doing 120%” leave us disconnected from our bodies and our worth.
• Living and working in sync with your cycle | How hormone cycles shape energy, creativity, and capacity—and why honoring them can actually make you more effective, not less.
• The Cycle of Grace | A framework (inspired by Henri Nouwen, Trevor Hudson, and Jerry Haas) that flips the script from “achieve → be loved → belong” to “belong → be nourished → live from significance → then contribute.”
• Memory reconsolidation & old stories | Why your nervous system replays old emotional patterns, and how new experiences of safety can gently rewrite those stories over time.
Nervous system regulation in real life | Simple somatic practices—like checking your breath, noticing tension, and reminding your body it’s safe—that help you show up with more honesty and ease.
Redefining leadership & partnership | How Jeanetta and Steph practice asking for help, collaborating without shame, and building a business that honors their bodies, cycles, and seasons.

A simple practice to try this week
Take a few moments each day to pause and ask:
• What is my breath doing right now?
• Where am I holding tension? (jaw, shoulders, belly, pelvic floor?)
• Can I remind my body that I am safe in this moment?
• Let that be enough. You don’t have to fix everything—just listen.
