Spiraling Higher

For the very first time on the Spiraling Higher Pod, we invited a guest to come back for round 2! Laurie Anne Briere, a practitioner, Transforming Touch therapist and breathwork facilitator who specializes in early trauma resolution returned to the pod to share her expertise on Neo-natal psychology and discuss the impact of early childhood experiences on our sense of safety and well-being as adults. We had a fascinating conversation around consciousness beginning before birth and how babies create memories, even if they are implicit and non-narrative.This heart-led conversation explores the importance of feeling safe in our bodies and how early trauma can disrupt the ability to find that felt sense of okay-ness. Together we expressed a deep compassion for how tough simple daily living can be for someone in a body that experienced early traumatic memories or experiences for which they will never have words or narratives for given that they occurred before our mental capacities developed.Whether you are aware of such possible early childhood or pre-natal experiences, Laurie Anne offers us hope that we can, at any time, learn how to become a secure base for our own selves and others and create a sense of safety again, no matter how unsafe or confusing we have felt in the past.After listening to this conversation, you will feel an unexpectedly enormous well of compassion for why you and others may react and cope in the often hurtful ways we do. And although there may have been early experiences out of our control that negatively impacted us, the power is in our hands to expand the capacity for discomfort and create a safe world within ourselves.Timestamps:03:33 Consciousness and Early Memories05:29 The Impact of Early Experiences on Safety21:58 Becoming a Secure Base22:26 The Need for Validation and Mirroring23:19 The Impact of Early Life Experiences on the Nervous System24:14 The Healing Power of Touch29:43 The Impact of Proprioception on Sense of Self33:00 The Transition from Living in the Mind to Living in the Heart34:07 The Difficulty of Daily Living with a Hijacked Nervous System36:09 The Impact of Early Attachment and the Role of Caregivers40:41 Processing Traumatic Birth Experiences45:18 Connecting with the Child Before Conception and During Pregnancy47:12 The Primal Fear of Not Being Liked51:10 Learning to Expand Capacity for Uncomfortable Sensations56:43 Navigating the Tension Between Doing and BeingAlso, if you haven’t already…make sure to listen to Laurie Anne on Episode 28: Finding Our True Selves By Healing Through The Nervous System.In that episode, we discussed:-Somatic Work-Understanding trauma responses and coping mechanisms-How to process emotions through the body (not the mind!)-Emotional regulation-Burnout!-Shifting from the sympathetic nervous system to a parasympathetic (rest & digest) stateDon't forget to share your biggest takeways and connect with us inside of the FREE Spiraling Higher Community where you can connect with other conscious besties and join us for a free connection call every month with people on the same frequency as you:--FINALLY!

Correct us if we're wrong, but in the almost 2 years that we've been recording...we haven't had the chance to really wind back the clock and talk about what led us here - the trials, tribulations, and turning points on our path that catalyzed our growth and inward journey. It's never lost on us that purpose is borne out of pain and that the hardest experiences of our life are what always lead us back home to ourselves. We know that this isn't true just for us, but anyone who is walking a healing, spiritual path is someone who has faced darkness. Without those experiences, we would not know the light.Watch this episode on YouTube here:https://youtu.be/Mabd6JtaPM0So grab a cup of tea, get comfy and join us for this storytime session where we reflect back on our past and the catalysts that initially contracted but then later expanded our consciousness. This conversation is equal parts funny and reflective and we are just so grateful to all of the past versions of ourselves for carrying us into this now moment and to you, our listeners, for giving that pain purpose.After all, it was these very experiences that brought us to doing the work we do now and the creation of spaces for healing and conscious dialogue that we wish we once had.If you're new around here, we are coaches that specialize in mindset, breathwork, and somatics to help you stop living in survival and finally embody the life you dream of.Our 6 month coaching mastermind is the only offering where you get to work with both of us 1:1, in groups, and at in-person retreats. It's immersive, it's transformative, and it's the beginning of the rest of your life.Soon, we'll be sharing a few of our past clients' testimonials but for now, DOORS ARE OPEN again for enrolment and we have limited spots remaining. If our stories have captured you, and you feel like you are ready to walk through the portal of self compassion and transformation, don't hesitate. Future you is waiting, now is all we got :)More details and application in the link below!--FINALLY! Doors are open again for our life-changing 6 month mastermind, The Unlayered Self.

Holly Herbig, an expert in human design, discusses how human design focuses on uniqueness, different energy types like generators and manifestors, and living in alignment. She explains the significance of profiles and how it affects relationships and decision-making. The conversation emphasizes the importance of aligning with one's energy type for more ease and trust in life.

In this enlightening chat, Kela Rose, the vibrant host of the Skinny Dipping Podcast, shares her journey of navigating a major life transition. She explores the self-defeating questions that often plague us, like 'What’s wrong with me?' and how these issues can spotlight our fear and paralysis. The conversation encourages embracing curiosity and self-compassion while dismantling the identity of being a 'problem solver.' Kela and the hosts dive into trusting one's intuition, the significance of joy, and the importance of community in growth.

We have all heard the phrase, "You are what you eat." After today's episode, those five words will resonate in a deeper way than ever before. If you are someone who has ever suffered from disordered eating, obsession with diet, or hyperfixation on your physical appearance...this conversation will radically shift the way you view food and help you heal your relationship to it to experience more energetic vitality and sustainable wellness in your life.To better understand how our nutrition, or lack thereof, affects the body's internal stress levels, energy output, and mental health symptoms...we invited Kymber Maulden, a nutrition consultant and women's health coach, onto the pod. From the age of 15, Kymber experienced both mental and physical symptoms that were signs of deeper, complex trauma and the flawed social ideals of what a woman is "supposed to" look like from the 90s. Like most people, she went the medical route and was given diagnosis after diagnosis and was prescribed medications to dissolve her symptoms, further disguising the rooted cause. This led her on a winding journey in and out of different diet camps, such as raw veganism, and eventually back to her own intuition.By studying neuro-somatics, nutrition, Internal Family Systems (parts work) and complex developmental trauma, she realized that refining lifestyle choices for peak women's health often goes against the grain of many commonly accepted male-centric beliefs around food, fasting, exercise and energy. Through both her own personal healing work and the professional work she's done with hundreds of women over the past few years, she's come to view everything in health and behavior through the lens of nervous system functions.Nutritionally, she works within the growing niche often referred to as "prometabolic or bioenergetic," which places great emphasis on the impact of stress, in all forms, on the function of our cells' ability to produce energy. Disruptions in the ability of our cells to produce adequate energy to meet the energy demands of our modern lives is at the root of all chronic symptoms and illnesses, making metabolism a central focus within this niche. Tying in the effect of nervous system dysregulation and trauma within this approach to nutrition has provided Kymber with an insatiable desire to explore the intersection of nutritional and somatic healing.Highlights:-The interconnected link between nutrition, somatic healing, trauma, and wellness with respect to women's health-Physiological stress and how it hurts the body-Complex trauma, which often stems from environmental failure during childhood, can impact nervous system regulation and contribute to chronic illness-How under-eating can have negative effects on mental health and overall wellbeing-The male-centric approach to health and fitness and how it often overlooks the unique needs of women's bodies-Embracing the theme of moving slowly and creating a safe space to restTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Personal Health Journey04:29 The Impact of Medications and Dietary Choices09:25 Understanding Stress and its Effects on the Body13:30 The Difference Between Acute and Chronic Stress18:21 Complex Trauma and its Impact on Nervous System Regulation31:03 The Importance of Nutrition for Mental and Physical Health33:15 The Impact of Food Intake on Wellbeing37:11 The Role of Energy Production and Stress Hormones41:57 Understanding Caloric Intake and Protein Consumption44:21 The Negative Effects of Under Eating and Over Exercising48:04 The Male-Centric Approach to Health and Fitness01:05:17 Moving in a More Feminine WayIf you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community about anything related to your journey...join us inside the FREE Spiraling Higher Community for conscious dialogue and loving perspectives.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.

SPIRALERS, WE ARE BACK FOR SEASON 3! We have some SUPER special growth moments to celebrate with you today in addition to all of the upcoming new episodes. First off, we are now recording IN STUDIO!!! This has been a manifestation in the making since we began and we are so unbelievably honored and grateful to be growing alongside you and spiraling higher to new realities. It was only less than 2 years ago that we bought the second cheapest mics on amazon to being here now, with you, in the studio continuing on our heart-led mission to bring you conscious conversations that transform your perspective.Watch this episode here on YouTube:https://youtu.be/2oM7o27Dfm0In our comeback episode, after a much deserved nervous system demanded break, we chat about what it really means to even live up to your "FULL" potential and how chasing your potential is a lack-drenched pursuit. We talk openly about how our "old selves" would have perceived or judged our progress as "slow" or "behind," but in this new season of valuing our bodies over our insatiable egoic minds, we see this new pace as a win rather than a loss. Of course, the old selves only cared about speed and production; they frankly did not care about being present with ourselves because to do so, they'd have to slow down!So while we might appear to be moving slowly, we are moving at the speed of a newfound trust that allows us to prioritize our needs over our wants. We are no longer normalizing the experience of burnout but being proactive in our efforts to increase the longevity and the quality of our lives. We want to be here for a long time, not a short time, and the only way to ensure that is to continue taking care of ourselves with love. THAT is healing <3This is your friendly reminder that if you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community about anything related to your journey...join us inside the FREE Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.

First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to our listeners for tuning in, doing the inner work, and making us your top podcast in 2023! When we started out last year, we promised each other that no matter how little or how many people cared or listened, that we would promise ourselves to never lose our hope, our creativity, and desire to serve humanity. Because we trusted ourselves, we attracted you!!! We feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude to every person who has trusted us to help them see their patterns, become more conscious, and release their fears.Season 1 was about looking at our darkness and what needs more love while Season 2 was about removing the obstacles to true peace. What keeps us from feeling truly content or happy? What prevents us from fully being our true selves? What stops us from doing the things we KNOW we want to do...but don't feel like we are ready or deserve to?If you've been listening along for a while or here for the first time, this episode will either remind or teach you about the gifts of presence, patience, and perspective. What we all really want, we already have...and once you can tune into that, abundance is yours.--The greatest gift of getting to be the hosts of "Spiraling Higher" has been meeting our listeners inside the community, connecting with them, and being witnesses to what they are spiraling through.Sharing what works for us, what moves us, and what troubles us is what makes us feel alive.

True abundance is not the accumulation of money. Abundance is a frequency and state of being - not a destination!Yet so many of us spend all of our energy chasing money and trying to leave the present moment in order to get somewhere better. We keep trying to approach an illusory time in the future where we are happier and more worthy than we are now. What this does though is reinforce the belief that money itself has the power to give us happiness, joy and self-worth. We confuse money with abundance and think that becoming abundant happens by becoming "rich."Understanding the key difference between 'Abundance' and 'Money' for us has been paramount. We become "rich" when we first recognize and embody the richness already within us. We don't chase money thinking that it will make us richer, we become rich internally and then money chases us. This is a complete paradigm shift!If you are looking to master the energetics of money and finally become its master...we have a super special limited opportunity for you.Between 11/17 - 11/27, you can download the "Wealthy Woman Bundle" which is a collaboration between us and 55 other financial content creators and wealth advisors to offer you access to 62 different courses and guides about all things money & business.

Almost all of us are familiar with budgeting our money and our time...but what about our energy? Most of are counting our dollars and trying to make the best use of our hours, but in doing so, we are falling into an energetic deficit.In today's episode, we share some personal details about how we've transitioned from budgeting our time to budgeting our energy. For years, we both had a strict timeline and to-do list that attempted to ensure we would be the most productive, unconsciously putting ourselves into energetic debt over and over again. At a certain point...we had to ask ourselves, "Why?"Most physiological cues are considered positive, and thankfully, we know when we need to eat or use the bathroom. Yet the physiological signs of being overworked and tired are not met with the same self-caretaking behavior. Most of the time, these cues are met with internalized narratives about how "bad" and "lazy" we are. This conditioning has resulted in us shaming ourselves out of receiving the very thing we so need.It's unfortunate that we don't see rest as either neutral or positive in our fast-paced, Capitalist culture. Rest has been demonized as the idle threat to our precious productivity. We wear badges of fatigue and show off how much we've done rather than caring about how we truly feel. But for us? It's no longer of utmost importance to be "productive" (we've unlinked productivity from our self-worth!), it's more valuable to be truly well. And in order to become well, we had to rest.True abundance, to us, is knowing that we have more than enough time to do all the things we desire AND having enough energy to do them.If you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community more about this episode...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.

Ashley Nelson became a two-time widow before the age of 35. She also said “goodbye” to ten other relatives and friends in between those drastic losses. These deaths, alongside her 10-year career in the health and death-care industry, gave her deep insight into life after loss that led to her becoming a certified grief specialist. Today, Ashley leads ‘Learning About Grief’ - an organization that offers loss-specific groups, one-to-one private grief sessions, and free education to over 25,000 people from 50+ countries.In today’s episode we ask her about the stages of grief and how to move through them, as well as support people going through them. She sheds light on the research that led to the well-known ‘5 Stages of Grief,’ but shares that these stages were well-documented only with respect to those who were dying. However, we know that grief not only affects the dying but the ones who have survived their death.If the colloquially known 5 Stages of Grief have never resonated with you as a person who has lost a loved one, and experience them more in waves, this conversation will leave you feeling more seen and heard.Carrying grief is human, and you are exactly where you are meant to be.No matter what season of grief you are in, or even if you have never lost a loved but want to support those that have, this conversation will help you ease pain and feel more connected.Episode highlights:-The 5 Stages of Grief (what it gets right + what it gets wrong)-Celebrating someone’s life while simultaneously grieving them-Why we resist the ‘acceptance’ phase for so long-Comparing your grief or attempting to justify it-The guilt of joy (Survivor’s Guilt) experienced after losing loved one-Finding a new identity after lossIf you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community more about grief...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.
