Welcome, dear ones. This week on Threshold Moments I’m joined by writer, psychic, business owner, and dear friend Licia Morelli.

Licia shares her psychic journey with us — how she discovered her abilities as a child, shut them down until college, grew them into a successful business, lost sight of the true reason she did this work, closed her business for six years, and then rediscovered and reclaimed that part of herself after surviving cancer.

Together we discuss the challenges of belonging, the importance of curiosity, the power of grief, and the life-saving nature of joy.

Tune in to hear more about—

• Licia’s earliest clairvoyant experiences
• Creating boundaries with the spiritual world
• Getting swept up in being “special”
• Emerging from grief and the cycle of awareness
• The power of curiosity and asking questions
• Why we should ask ourselves “what am I learning in this moment?”
• How to work with the moon phases

In this week’s Mini Musing, I share reflections on the far-reaching impacts of widening our posture, as well as our mental and visual perspective.

I draw on Amy Cuddy’s research on power postures and how we can actually change our hormonal composition, our chance at getting a job, and the likeliness that we’ll take a risk.

I also reflect on how one-on-one somatic sessions will often use the widening of awareness when visiting traumatic history. And at the end of the episode, we play with how taking a wider visual perspective alters your breath, posture, and nervous system.

Listen in to learn how to widen your posture and your perspective. Then I invite you to join my 21 Days of Untapped Support to begin widening today.

Welcome, dear ones. 

This week we have with us Kristin Bosteels, a woman who has faced life and death multiple times. Her roots are deeper and wider than anything that can be taken from her. She is a well-practiced yogi, a disciple of mindset, and a human on a journey back to herself.

Kristin teaches Yoga on the Inside. Her passion lies in teaching and sharing the therapeutic benefits of yoga with those in need, and using yoga to soften her experience and that of others.

Kristin’s ongoing journey of living with cancer has been an aggressive and enlightening one. But, as she shares with us, she takes a unique approach to managing her diagnosis — choosing to be an anomaly and taking a multi-dimensional approach to her care. In this episode, Kristin also shares the beauty of opening herself up, asking for help, and allowing other people to be a part of her healing, even when it’s difficult to do.

Listen to learn more about:

• The changes Kristin saw in herself after her first and second cancer diagnoses
• How sharing experience is more meaningful than sharing advice in response to hard news
• How Kristin’s mother lives on through her own experiences in her cancer journey
• The ways Kristin manages the ups and downs of her treatment
• The importance of being honest about the dark nights of the soul and not just the times of strength and resilience

In this week’s Mini Musing, I share reflections from my time as an athlete, sports trainer, and yoga teacher to offer insight on how we can actually change unconscious patterns in our lives.

Listen in to learn why it’s important to observe, process, and upgrade in the moment. And to unpack what John Frappier teaches us — that “We can’t learn new patterns in a state of fatigue.”

I end with reflections on burnout and how necessary self-care is if we want to move from familiar patterns to optimal patterns. And I invite you to join my 21 Days of Untapped Support to begin inviting small moments of rest and of challenge into your days.

In this conversation, Eliza and I explore the deep work that mothering requires as well as the importance of including ourselves in the caring that we give. We also discuss healing and some of our favorite shared experiences in our healing processes.

• The shedding that comes before and after threshold moments — and the joy that can be found there

Welcome, dear listener. In today’s mini musing, I’m sharing one of my favorite tools for threshold moments—resuscitation. And I’m gently asking the question, What could it look like to embrace a period of resuscitation with a “yes to myself” mindset?

Using the framework of the window of tolerance, I describe how we might react to stress differently depending on the width of our window. I also share stories from my own life and explore how we can create opportunities to keep our windows of tolerance more open.

Tune in as I discuss:

• What mini musings are and what I hope they offer you
• The time I had a food truck come to my house for a different kind of potluck
• What a resuscitation phase is
• Some things I experienced in my own resuscitation phase
• The window of tolerance framework
• Saying no during resuscitative times in order to say yes to our own wellbeing
• Building in time for containment

Welcome, friends. Today I’ve invited my dear friend Therin Pohley to join me for a conversation about the seasonal shifts our bodies undergo in the Spring.

Therin is an esthetician who has a profound passion for self-care and whole body wellness. She has a distinctive and extensive knowledge thanks to her 20 years in the beauty and wellness industry. And she thrives on demonstrating to customers how intuitive skincare can be when we live in harmony with nature.

Together, Therin and I explore how this season invites a natural detox and why the skin can be a reflection of the inner and outer world. Therin also shares some of her favorite, simple practices for spring, including making nettle tea and lymphatic massage. And we reflect on the meaning of the spring-like saying — two steps forward, one step back.

Welcome, friends. In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on creating the conditions for more easeful nervous system regulation and how we know that healing is happening.

I talk about the Activation Map by Peter Levine, which was updated into the “Three Directions Map,” by Brigit Viskins to include looping. When activation occurs we may have the ability to distract and sooth back down to stabilization, the first direction. We may find ourselves looping in dysregulation, the second direction. Finally, there may be a possibility to go higher into activation without looping and come all the way down to the other side toward completion, integration, and extinction; this is the third direction.

Creating conditions can help support us to move through the entire process. Creating conditions and integrating these new patterns may happen in small pieces over time.

Join me as we explore our somatic experiences and the power of pause, choice, community, distance, self-care and boundary repair as conditions for well-being.
