Together, they explore:

✨ Homeschooling, unschooling, and child-led learning

✨ Following curiosity instead of conformity

✨ Motherhood as a catalyst for transformation

✨ Trusting yourself when your beliefs begin to shift

Whether you're questioning old narratives, exploring alternative education, navigating personal growth, or simply longing to feel more aligned with yourself, this episode offers a powerful reminder:

You are allowed to evolve.

You are allowed to question.

You are allowed to choose a different path.

Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or unable to fully slow down and feel?

In this deeply nourishing episode of the Sovereign Mamas Podcast, I sit down with Jaya Hollohan, founder of the School of Sacred Somatics, trauma integration therapist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with over 17 years of experience helping people heal through the wisdom of the body.

Jaya shares her powerful personal journey—from working in international development and studying energy healing around the world to becoming a mother of a child with significant medical needs, a path that ultimately led her into the world of Somatic Experiencing and nervous system healing.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ What "coming home to your body" actually means
✨ How trauma impacts the nervous system
✨ Why many of us learned to disconnect from our emotions
✨ The connection between motherhood, healing, and self-awareness
✨ Somatic Experiencing explained in simple terms
✨ The difference between talking about healing and embodying it
✨ A simple nervous system regulation practice you can use today
✨ Why connection is the antidote to trauma
✨ How slowing down can transform your life

If you've been searching for deeper healing, greater self-trust, or a way to move beyond constant overwhelm, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical tools.

"Slow down and feel."

There are conversations that gently remind you… you’re not doing it wrong.

In this episode of the Sovereign Mamas Podcast, I’m joined by Erin Thomas Wong — Life-Friendly Business Mentor, author, and mother of two — for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to build a business that supports your life… not competes with it.

From leaving a thriving TV career to starting her first business with a 6-month-old baby… to navigating identity shifts, motherhood challenges, and even relocating across the world — Erin shares the behind-the-scenes of creating success in a way that actually feels good.

We talk about the pressure many women feel to “keep up” with business models that were never designed for them… and what becomes possible when you choose a different path.

Inside this episode, we explore:

– The truth about “life-friendly business” (and why it matters more as your children grow)– Letting go of hustle-driven business models that ignore your real capacity– How motherhood reshapes identity, ambition, and success– Building a business that aligns with your energy, values, and season of life– Navigating big life transitions and trusting your own path– Why “doing it your way” isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation

Erin also shares her 5-step Life-Friendly Business framework:
Own. Align. Simplify. Shine. Evolve.

This conversation is both grounding and expansive — especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re capable… but the way you’ve been told to build your business just doesn’t fit.

✨ You’re not behind.
✨ You’re not doing it wrong.
✨ You’re being invited to do it differently.
