What story is asking to be reclaimed in your life right now? Is there a thread be it joy, grief, or creativity that’s weaving itself through your spiral of healing?

This episode is a masterclass in embodied integration. Shelby revisits her reconnection to dance how a prompt cracked open a story she hadn’t told before: that of a girl who learned to love herself through movement. What began as a wayfinding insight has unfolded into ritual, aliveness, community, and even spiritual reclamation. She speaks about dancing with her inner teenage self at an archetypal coronation and how dance has become her new form of breathwork.

Khara reflects on the depth of grief after the death of her dog, Bindi, and how that experience cracked open layers of unprocessed emotion from miscarriage, identity shifts, and motherhood transitions. We talk about how ritual and presence made space for healing.

Themes of slowing down, practicing presence, and releasing the addiction to “the chase” re-emerge. Khara shares a realization that her pattern of always seeking “what’s next” has softened, especially since becoming pregnant again. She describes a day where she flowed between rest, creation, and nourishment recording five hypnosis sessions (finally acting on a long-held desire), cooking, and cleaning all without force.

The conversation spirals into boundaries, self-witnessing, emotional rewiring, and the deeper truth that transformation often revisits us in familiar forms but with new wisdom. Shelby beautifully describes this as not circling back but rising up a spiral staircase, seeing the same “signs” with new eyes.

Key Topics:

• Dance as soul reclamation & embodiment
• Grief as a portal to joy
• Pregnancy & deconditioning from hustle
• Letting life flow without chasing
• Hypnosis, creativity & aligned ease
• Family boundaries & ancestral healing
• Witnessing your own evolution through voice notes, journaling, and presence

Join Shelby & Khara as they navigate the powerful energy of eclipse season and unpack the magic of synchronicities. Through personal stories, they reveal how journaling shines a light on our emotions and the recurring cycles that shape our lives.

Khara opens up about her experience with miscarrying for the second time and the profound lessons of self-care it taught her. Allowing emotions to flow rather than suppressing them has been essential for her healing process. By prioritizing rest over relentless productivity, Khara has begun to find balance and clarity amid discomfort, embracing personal growth and the transformative power of vulnerability.

Shelby explores the fascinating intersection of physical pain and emotional experiences through the lens of German New Medicine. Chronic tooth pain becomes a metaphor for unacknowledged needs and suppressed self-worth.

Through meditation and synchronicities, they reconnect with their inner boldness, ready to embrace new beginnings with courage and confidence.
