Listen in as we talk with Breath Coach Jess Buckley all about resting, napping and creating a beautiful life for yourself, beyond the grind of the Patriarchy, capitalism and, yes, the holiday season. We talk about how to create moments of peace for yourself, how to “Pause & Refresh” when moments seem overwhelming and how to manage expectations so that you can enjoy this season for all its cozy, delicious, restorative hygge (pronounced hew-gah).

As Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest is Resistance” teaches us, we have everything to gain from rejecting the “grind culture” and insisting on being well-rested. These are choices we must make for ourselves, even if it takes a lot of unlearning to get there.

And then we finish off with a song that embodies the feeling of hygge, from its sultry melodies to Billie Holiday’s luscious lyrics, let it help you get into the soft, cozy and restorative spirit of the holiday season.

It’s so good to be back with you again! In this episode, we have a real talk about the grief and anger resulting from the American election while also figuring out how to move forward. It’s important to be honest with yourself and allow space for your feelings right now. AND it’s important for YOU to take care of YOU, focus on what you can control, connect with people around you and purposely create joy (don’t dare let them take it away!) We are all gutted that we have so much more work still to do, it seems inhumanely cruel because it is. But like those who successfully fought to remove Brazil’s right-wing fascist president, Bolsonaro, we can use their slogan, “Ninguém solta a mão de ninguém” which translates to “No one let go of anyone’s hand”, we are in this together. No matter how badly they try to separate us!

In this episode we talk about Spring as the season of letting go, cleaning out the old and making space for the new. Letting go is a rarely easy thing to do and yet it’s universal to the human experience. So, let’s talk about letting go, labyrinths and more! Also in this episode we have a special treat for you, the thoughtful and wise Jane Doull reads out her “Letting go” intro and blessing for us!

Hello 2024! Also, how dare you sneak up on me like this.

With both feet now in the new year, it’s a great opportunity to ask ourselves what we want out of 2024. It’s important to take a moment and ask ourselves what our heart’s desires and goals are for this year. If we don’t take the time to ask ourselves it’s so easy to get swallowed up into other things like work, family drama, parenting responsibilities, etc. The world asks a lot of women, and we often oblige. And because of this we need to make a special effort to figure out what we want so that we can work towards it. We need to take a pause, go inward and ask. Otherwise, we are not the main character in our own stories. We are a supporting character to other people’s stories. And girlfriend, you deserve to be the main character in the story of YOU.

Fortunately, to help you gain clarity and perspective for this year I have a FREE worksheet for you. Super simple. Super helpful.

Go ahead, give yourself the gift of ASKING YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT. And then write it down. This is a great tool for focusing our priorities and better understanding ourselves.

Here’s the link to the worksheet:

“Slow Burn” by Kacey Musgraves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC7cmWkBoz4

Hello again beautiful pod squad! We’re back after the summer break and so excited to talk to you about becoming WHOLE. What a concept, right? How do we do that? Well, one way is to integrate the different versions of ourselves we carry around. We may hide away or ignore parts of ourselves, but those parts are still there and they require love and acceptance, too. They are all a part of YOU and all of you deserves love and compassion. So, come gather up all the parts of yourself you’ve ever left elsewhere and remember your glorious wholeness!

Repeat after me (filling your name in the blank):

I am here.

I am whole.

I am ________________

‘We Are Integration’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzbJXgz4QAs

In this episode Kelly talks about how the mothering and nurturing we do makes the world go ‘round. She talks about how being a nurturing leader and mothering are synonyms, even if we have a complicated relationship with the word Mother. She talks about the fears she had about becoming a mother and why self-mothering (or being your own inner-mom) is so important. She also tells the interesting origin story of Mother’s Day and the badass, feminist organizer, Julia Ward Howe, who started the special day as an effort to bring women together in the name of world peace. Just wait until you hear the Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870! And we end with a super cute feature song that you *may* want to share with a loved one.

“Mom” but Meghan Trainor ft. Kelli Trainor

It’s true. You are. You are doing *so* much better than you think you are. Unfortunately, Women rarely have an accurate view of ourselves (thanks, patriarchy!). Too often, we exaggerate personal setbacks and minimize our accomplishments. It can be easier to remember the critiques and negative stuff than the positive compliments. So, this is a podcast to help you realize that you are actually - and honestly - doing well, great even. Especially considering all you’ve been through. And how do I know that you’ve been through a lot? Well, we’re women. We brave so much. We endure and survive and soldier on. We keep lives and families and movements going. We are the glue that holds whole worlds together. Take a deep breath, you are doing so much better than you think you are.

In this season of rebirth and awakening, many of us are feeling the call to return to ourselves, return to who we truly are. Most of us have been distracted and over-stimulated from the uncertainty and chaos that were the last three years but now, as we peak our heads outside the cave of winter, we are curious and hungry to get back to ourselves. Returning to ourselves means remembering who we were before the world taught us who to be (and who *not* to be). This is a great time to take inventory of our lives and look at what brings us joy and makes us feel “like ourselves”. It’s also a great time to acknowledge what makes you *YOU* and what makes you amazing and unique. What makes you feel strong and healthy? Who do you want to be this year? How could you insert more joy and pleasure into your life to bring yourself *back* from the underworld/otherworld? We discuss this plus more in our latest episode and we finish off with the perfect song to help us come Home to ourselves!

“Back To Myself” - Erica Jennings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8QpdbCt30Y

It’s our first episode of 2023! Let’s talk about fables, stories and journeys to the underworld and back. Listen in to hear about the importance of the journey, including the magic in the “darkness”. Kelly talks about Inanna, Persephone, Alice in Wonderland and Dorothy in Oz - all women on important journeys for wisdom, power and their souls. There is so much to learn and grow from when it comes to “the journey”. There’s much to accept and be grateful for, even the hard stuff that sculpts us into evolved versions of ourselves. Acceptance and gratitude, our theme and mantra for 2023.
