Deep dives
Embracing Authenticity in 2025
The importance of reconnecting with one's authentic self is emphasized as a key theme for 2025. This year is viewed as a critical time for individuals to honor their personal journey and experiences, especially when feelings of dysregulation and uncertainty arise. The hosts discuss a new video series aimed at channeling guidance to help individuals navigate challenges while providing support through practices for manifestation. The collective intention is to foster a community that allows members to ground themselves and take clear action steps towards becoming more authentic.
Regulation Through Self-Soothing Techniques
When experiencing feelings of dysregulation, the podcast offers a protocol for self-soothing and re-centering. The discussion includes practical examples where individuals can engage in activities that provide a sense of control, such as tidying their space or taking cleansing showers. It encourages listeners to evaluate their coping mechanisms, emphasizing the need to adapt practices based on current feelings rather than relying on outdated methods. Ultimately, the goal is to reconnect with oneself and create a supportive space for better decision-making.
Harnessing Primal Instincts for Healing
The podcast explores the concept of 'primal' responses as key to managing emotional turmoil, advocating for the use of somatic experiencing techniques to find safety and release pent-up emotions. Methods such as roaring to relieve anger and pressing against a wall to process anxiety are introduced as effective means of navigation during turbulent times. The hosts highlight the connection between primal expression and authentic emotional processing, suggesting that acknowledging these instinctual behaviors can facilitate healing. This emphasis on primal techniques reinforces the idea that healing can stem from returning to our most basic, instinctual states.
The Power of Community and Support
The necessity of community and collective support is underscored as individuals face personal and collective challenges in their lives. The hosts describe how engaging with others can help normalize the experience of navigating difficulties, especially through the offerings available in the membership. By sharing personal stories and resources, they illustrate that many are experiencing similar emotional struggles, which serves to create a sense of unity. Ultimately, the message is that shared experiences and mutual support can significantly enhance one’s ability to cope and thrive amid life’s uncertainties.
If you are feeling tested, come here to find some peace. After working our way through a season of tests and triggers, we know the feeling that remains is often complex, tumultuous, and tough to navigate. This episode offers some somatic tools, regulation techniques, and a dose of realness you might be craving to remind you that you’re not alone, you’re not a bad person, and you’re not being punished. In this episode, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive into the deep connection between creating spaces for safety and authentic magnetism. They discuss how the process of stripping away what no longer serves us—whether consciously or unconsciously—creates space for true alignment. They share how they are sourcing small pockets of safety and emotional regulation, and how they have been connecting to their magnetism, even in the midst of upheaval. The mantra of the year? If not this, then something better.
