What if becoming isn’t about creating a better version of yourself, but learning to belong to every part of the person who is already there? This week, Angela and Deanna explore re—putting the pieces of ourselves back into relationship, including the ones we’ve hidden, edited, painted over, or simply wished weren’t part of our story. Through the image of a stained glass window, they wonder what becomes possible when we stop requiring every piece to make sense—or even look beautiful—and allow light and life to move through the whole story.

Highlights
00:00 — Becoming without becoming someone else
01:35 — What does it mean to re ourselves?
07:21 — How we dismember the parts that feel unacceptable
16:20 — Who taught you which pieces of yourself belonged?
25:36 — The stained glass window metaphor
39:45 — Holding acceptance and change together

What does it actually look like to come home to yourself? In this episode, Angela and Deanna wrap up their month on embodiment by exploring what happens when we stop performing, start listening to our bodies, and become more available to our own lives. They’re joined by Carmen in Nashville, who shares how movement helped her reconnect with herself—and why embodiment isn’t about getting it perfect, but practicing awareness, presence, and the courage to keep saying yes to what is.

Highlights
00:02 — Embodiment begins with listening
09:49 — Coming home to yourself
24:22 — “Will they still love me?”
31:11 — Carmen’s story: movement and healing
38:11 — Learning to be uncomfortable

How do we leave ourselves without ever going anywhere? In this episode, Angela and Deanna explore disembodiment—the ways we disconnect from our bodies, emotions, minds, spirit, and even our capacity for joy—and the patterns that may have once protected us but now keep us at a distance from our own lives. With honesty, humor, and plenty of questions, they invite us toward a gentler first step: noticing where we are, listening to every part of ourselves, and practicing the courage to be here.

The Wisdom of Your Body by Hillary L. McBride, Ph.D

What if the most honest yes you can give sometimes sounds like no? In Part 2 of Embodying the Yes, Angela and Deanna explore people pleasing, boundaries, fear, self-trust, and the uncomfortable practice of making sure the answer coming out of your mouth actually matches the one inside of you. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen to what your body and heart are telling you, and build relationships where both your yes and your no are safe—because a wholehearted life isn’t about saying yes to everything; it’s about learning to recognize the yes that is truly yours.

What if saying yes isn’t about agreeing to everything—but about staying open to what’s possible? In Part 1 of Embodying the YES, Angela and Deanna explore how openness creates space for growth, connection, curiosity, and change—and why a meaningful yes can sometimes include uncertainty, discomfort, and even a necessary no. Together, they wrestle with control, presence, acceptance, and what might change if we stopped trying to predict every outcome and simply said yes to the moment.

00:50 — The power of yes
02:44 — Why openness comes before change
08:03 — Creating a culture of yes
16:22 — “I don’t know yet” can be a yes

Season 2 starts August 3rd!

Some conversations deserve to be revisited. In this replay of one of our most meaningful first-season episodes, Angela and Deanna explore what hope looks like when life feels unbearably heavy. Together, they wrestle with despair, depression, the stories we tell ourselves, and the surprising ways hope quietly arrives—not by erasing pain, but by sitting beside it.

This conversation reminds us that hope isn't forced optimism. Sometimes it's simply taking one more breath, finding someone willing to sit beside you, or discovering a small window where you thought there were only walls. If this season has felt especially heavy, we hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to carry it alone.

Episode 72 is our Season One countdown — five moments that surprised us, shaped us, and occasionally made us forget the words “merry-go-round.” Angela and Deanna look back on conversations about fear, allegiance, curiosity, hope, despair, and the holy work of breathing beside each other when there’s nothing to fix. It’s reflective, funny, tender, and yes… the Share Bears are still very much with us.

It’s a gentle invitation to loosen our grip, ask better questions, and make room for what we might learn along the way.
