Hey, Wait is a podcast about what happens when you stop reacting from old patterns—and start responding from what's actually true. Because those two little words—"Hey, wait"—can change what comes next for you. Hosted by leading somatic coach, educator and author Jay Moon Fields, each episode brings real, unpolished conversations with people who know their stuff but keep it human—exploring what it takes to come home to yourself when it matters most. If you're navigating conflict, change, or just trying to show up with more self-worth in all that you do—you're in the right place.2025 Personal Development Personal Success

    ► The specific imagery that brings her back to a sense of calm every damn time

  • From Performing to Presence and Pleasure with Lily Shepard | Episode #36
    Mar 12 2026

    Lily Shepard walks (and dances) her talk. She's a trauma-informed movement educator and somatic stress relief practitioner who teaches women how to live and lead from their bodies, not just their heads or conditioning. We discuss what happens when you realise you have been taught to perform as a person, and how to transition from performing your life to actually living it. Discover practical tools for learning how to use your body as an ally, overcoming being fragmented by the different roles you play, and claiming your birthright to pleasure.

    In this episode, Jay and Lily discuss:
    ► Why real power isn't a perfect performance and how movement aids self-expression and healing
    ► How exhausting it is to negotiate your presence in multiple roles and how to move fluidly between them
    ► Practical exercises for arriving, grounding yourself when entering a room, and staying present
    ► Why optimising life can kill pleasure, and why it's about small daily moments rather than Instagram-worthy experiences
    ► How to avoid becoming the sum total of the expectations of everyone around you

    00:00 - Embodiment and Movement: A Personal Journey

    10:05 - The Shift from Performance to Healing

    20:11 - Navigating Fragmentation in Roles

    30:03 - Creating Rituals for Transition and Presence
