    Show Notes:

    This week Sara Cate and Ashley discuss the complex relationship many of us have to our bodies. We have been socialized away from our bodies meaning that the world tells us how we should be in relationship to them. This makes us lose our own agency and discernment around what our body actually needs and wants. They explore ways to cultivate a new and more trusting relationship to our own bodies, however uncomfortable that may be. As always there is an invitation to explore with curiosity what your relationship to your own body is, in order live a fuller, more connected life.

  • Ep 48: Being in Relationship: The hardest thing we'll do.

    Show Notes:
    The most challenging thing we'll do as humans is be in relationship. Relationship with ourselves, with friends, with intimate partners, etc. What we don't talk about is how rupture and repair are pivotal in creating healthy relationships. This episode brings light to the things we maybe don't pay attention to enough; things like what to do in the silence, and how to navigate conflict if you have different attachment styles. Ashley and Sara Cate both share their personal way of showing up in conflict, what they need to move through, and give examples of some practical ways you can support yourself. Having opposite attachment styles, they bring to the table an approachable discussion of how each style's needs deserve to be met, and how each can move towards security.

    Show Notes:

    Sara Cate and Ashley bring you a conversation from their new setup, Denver AND Atlanta!

    Today’s episode illuminates the function of a highly active nervous system, meaning those of us who are running at the speed of light. Sara Cate explores her own internal struggle with being habitually busy as a bypass strategy for the emotions trying to catch her. Slowing down can feel painful and terrifying if you have learned to be "high functioning" or "hyper busy" as a safety mechanism to survive your life. They explore ways to re-pattern your nervous system by beginning to explore what it means to slow down, even just a bit.

    Show Notes:
    The story of trusting our intuition is one of forgiveness, and one of returning. Returning to our bodies and listening. It involves allowing there to be a relationship to your sensations again. And it involves knowing that sometimes we won’t necessarily like what we hear. Sara Cate + Ashley
    explore what it means to trust intuition vs listening to fear and anxiety in this weeks Session. As always, they encourage compassion, support, and love along your journey.

    If you are with yourself, you don’t have to take on anyone else’s stuff…that’s the theme of this episode! Sara Cate and Ashley both give practical exercises to help you stay within yourself so you don’t have to take on other people’s “stuff”. It’s our responsibility to take care of the experience we are having, and we can support ourselves as we learn how to stay. Feeling deeply doesn’t mean we have to carry other people’s experiences with us. As always, the goal with this episode is to provide support to you in your journey of staying with yourself through it all- the joys and the tough times.

    Show Notes:
    Why do we get so scared when people change their minds? OR what is even scarier is when we decide to change ours! How do we know when we need a change, in relationship, in work, in life? What does it mean to give ourselves permission to be uncertain about that change? Sara Cate + Ashley explore what it means to stay in integrity with our own knowing in our bodies when something feels like we need to change course. Ashley is off to Atlanta, folks! These two explore her personal transition, and how she allowed her mind and body change directions with her next move. As Sara Cate says " be firm in your intention and free in your form" which means journaling something like Ashley said, "this or better". We can put ourselves on a path and allow that to change direction at any moment, change is already scary we don't need to make it worse by not allowing ourselves to honor what new directions might be better.

    Show Notes:
    In season 1, Sara Cate + Ashley had a very candid discussion about grief and their processes. This week's episode is the follow-up to this conversation, with a look at how difficult it can be when we're still grieving but it appears that everyone else has moved on. Being witnessed as a human who is grieving is one of the most healing experiences we can have. Listen as we talk about what this feels like, how to find the support within yourself that you are so deserving of, and how to give permission for the continued progress. Grief is not easy, and you are so worthy of receiving the support your heart needs.
