  • The Reframe: How to Access the Healing Power of Perspective

    It can be hard to get out of the downward spiral when your inner narrative turns negative. 

    It’s like the negative thoughts attract one another and, suddenly, all you can hear is the echo of everything that’s just not going right. 

    This negative headspace can make you feel powerless, helpless and hopeless. 

    In this episode, we share how to escape the negative thought train and gently invite yourself back into a more balanced, grounded headspace. 

    We have dubbed ourselves the “Queens of the Reframe”, tune in to see why!

  • Goodbye, Good Girl!

    The good girl.

    We all know her, and many of us have tried our damnedest to embody her. 

    The one who is seen, not heard.

    She doesn’t bring shame to her family.

    She acts like a lady and doesn’t stir the pot. 

    And most of all—although she might not admit it, the good girl is the one who is silently angry...because she wants to be free.

    Free to live her life authentically.

    To be seen.

    To be big.

    To be loud.

    To be fully in her power. 

    As young girls we’re taught to embody the good girl—and in doing so we abandon ourselves and live as if there isn’t a wild woman that has been waiting to be resurrected. 

    In this week’s episode, hosts Dani and Casey are discussing the good girl programming and how to finally say “goodbye” to the disempowerment that comes from following the path of self abandonment for the sake of others.

  • Self-Abandonment in Relationships: How to Stop Settling & Reconnect With Your Self-Worth

    In this episode, hosts Dani and Casey explore:

    -The connection between self abandonment in relationships and our sense of self-worth.

    -How to identify your deeply held core beliefs about yourself by using the Downward Arrow Technique.

  • Ignore No More: The Healing Power of Naming Your Trauma

    "There are people who have it worse than me."

    "I should be grateful nothing else happened."

    "My childhood was good enough, I shouldn't complain." 

    One of the biggest obstacles to healing and moving forward is not giving ourselves permission to view traumatic experiences as such: traumatic. 

    This is an attempt to keep ourselves safe from experiencing our emotional pain, so we get it: if an experience wasn't traumatic, then the feelings and triggers associated don't have permission to exist. This means you can continue to avoid your emotional pain associated with the event. 

    The catch?

    Your emotional response to this event STILL exists, but instead of being acknowledged and processed intentionally, it wreaks havoc under the surface. 

    When we don't give ourselves permission to validate our own, emotional reactions to an event then we keep ourselves in a loop of unconscious, trauma patterns. 

    In this episode, hosts Dani and Casey discuss the wounding that comes from comparing your trauma to others and the emotional freedom on the other side of naming your trauma and validating your emotional reactions.

  • Grief Notes: Navigating Unexpected Loss and Supporting Your Inner Child

    To live an embodied life full of love, joy and bliss—means we must become acquainted with the duality of the human experience. 

    We can’t fully tap into the deep, replenishing wells of joy and love without learning how to be present with feelings of loss, sorrow and grief. This is the duality of our humanness. 

    In this episode, Dani shares her experience with the unexpected death of her father and her personal journey with the grieving process. 

    Dani and Casey share insights into:

    • How to attune to your inner child to support your emotional processing 
    • How to set boundaries with yourself and others while navigating grief
    • How to attune to yourself as you learn how to be present with your grief 

    We invite you to use this episode as a support in your own journey as you learn to honor and be present in your own experiences of loss. Or, perhaps, as a guide to supporting someone you love as they navigate their own grieving process.

  • See Ya Later, Sexual Programming. Nice to Meet You, Pleasure.

    What is sexual programming?

    ⁣Our sexual programming includes attitudes, ideas and beliefs about sex that have been handed down to us from our family of origin, organized religion, societal “norms” or even inherited from our ancestral lineage. ⁣

    ⁣For many of us, this programming has been the warden imprisoning us in our shame cycles surrounding sex and pleasure. ⁣

    If you’re feeling disconnected from your body, sexual self and/or pleasure, it’s time to ask yourself what’s in your sexual programming “backpack”. 

    ⁣This means being curious about what thoughts, ideas and beliefs you carry around sex and pleasure. 

    Where did they come from? 

    Are they yours? 

    Do you believe them to be true? 

    Are they serving you?

    Do you want to keep them?

    Tune into this episode to hear Dani and Casey open up their programming backpacks, peer inside and evaluate it’s contents.
