Welcome, dear listeners. Today, we continue our exploration of nervous system healing with a lesson on the reticular activating system (RAS) and the power of curiosity.

It's important to tend to the RAS, because it helps us break limiting beliefs by learning to ask better questions and manifest new possibilities. And we can learn to engage the RAS by crafting "show me" statements and embracing the power of wonder and awe.

These are practices we'll explore in this 30-minute episode and that I'll be teaching in-depth in my upcoming 12-week program, Resourced.

Welcome back to Threshold Moments. Today we're continuing our exploration of nervous system resilience with the transformative power small doable pieces.

Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed or find ourselves in a trauma response, we slip into all-or-nothing thinking. But typically all we need to do is take one step forward to create nourishing momentum.

Brigit Viksnins calls this "small doable pieces." And in this episode, I share how this practice works and a few ways that small doable pieces have transformed my business, my parenting, and my life.

So if you've ever felt overwhelmed, underwater, or unable to move forward, I hope you'll tune in to learn:

• The interplay between the nervous system and trauma responses
• How all-or-nothing thinking can leave us stuck in a freeze state
• The medicine we find in small doable pieces
• How to de-stack hard habit & patterns
• Why I choose to speak slowly & how it helps

Because, when we take small doable steps over time, it can change the way we feel, the way we think, and what we believe.

And if you'd like to practice small doable pieces together, please join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can't wait to support you in 2025.

Welcome, dear ones. Today I am resharing one of my favorite practices from 21 Days of Untapped Support — Right Distance.

Right distance is about transitioning from all-or-nothing thinking to nuanced choice. We can cultivate right distance in our relationships, our workplaces, our creative projects, and our online presence.

Join me as we explore—

• How to release all-or-nothing thinking & play with the in-between
• The relationship between right distance, right relationship & right timing
• Examples of cultivating right distance with work, people & social media
• How to find right distance when you end up in a misaligned position
• "I wonder" prompts for new possibilities

And if you'd like more support in practicing right distance as you cultivate nervous system resilience, please join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can't wait to support you in 2025.

When we're in a situation that feels bad, being able to find nuance and a sense of empowerment is so important.

But we also get to feel angry, we get to feel tired, we get to feel sad. And we get to forgive ourselves for not being the best parents or partners right now.

So this episode is an offering to you, dear listener. It's an invitation to check in and prioritize a tiny moment of self-care.

And it's a reminder that resourcing our nervous system can change how we relate to our kids, our communities, and everything going on in the world.

This week on Threshold Moments we're doing something a little different.

Instead of releasing a heartfelt interview with a brilliant, soul-centered guest, I'm sharing my own story and offering an introduction to the life-changing work of healing your nervous system.

For the first time, I'm speaking about how a painful back injury led me on a powerful healing journey toward doing so. much. less.

Eventually that guided me toward mind-body-spirit integration through yoga. And I built a very successful business… that I eventually dismantled as I moved through the sleepless portal of becoming a mother.

Now I'm excited to share my story and offer my first nervous system healing program.

I hope you'll listen to this episode and stick around for our full fall series about nervous system resilience. Then join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can't wait to support you in 2025.

Welcome, dear listeners. Today I'm in conversation with seeress, shamanic practitioner, ceremonialist, writer, designer, and supporter of women in business, Kelly Rich.

Kelly is dedicated to helping people tap into their inner wisdom, own their intuition and do what they came here to do. She believes beauty is a portal to the divine and her love of holding healing spaces has drawn her to creating an online school, over a dozen retreats, hundreds of events and facilitating thousands of Soul Readings for clients all over the world.

Together we feel into the possibility of what it would be like to tune into our sensitivities and use them as superpowers. We also unpack how some coping mechanisms can be lifesaving until they're not, and what happens when we strip them away.

Tune in to learn more about:

• The threshold moment in Kelly's childhood that taught her how to numb her emotions
• What it felt like for Kelly to go through a shamanic death and to awaken to her true self
• Why owning your intuition is not a pass for avoiding discomfort
• The difference between knowledge and experience
• A message for anyone looking to live in their purpose

Welcome, dear listeners. Today on the show I’m joined by healer, ceremony facilitator, and retreat leader, Lola L’Amour.

Lola creates spaces where humans come home to themselves to reactivate their wild aliveness, reclaim their belonging, and touch into something both ordinary and extraordinary.

In this conversation, we unpack the threshold of an inconvenient “no” that pushed Lola into a drastically different life path by stripping away her identity. We also talk about the threshold from creation to destruction that often shows up in a woman’s journey through mid-life.

Tune in to learn more about:

• What it means to take ownership of what truly nourishes us
• The myth of “alignment” and how it can be a trap that we build for ourselves
• How rock bottom moments teach us both who we are and who we are not
• Why our pain doesn’t always need to be turned into medicine, even as healers
• The liberating choice of relinquishing the desire to monetize all parts of our lives
