Show Notes:
We are living in deeply uncertain and incredibly threatening times. It is natural that we look to the things we are certain about to make us feel safe. If we know the threat, we can fight it or run from it, but what happens when there is no certainty, when there is no known path. Ashely and Sara Cate discuss building a relationship to your own body that allows for even a moments experience of safety, even one breath of recognizing that you can, even briefly, find spaciousness in your own system. They discuss how trauma and chaos affect your brains ability to listen to what is presently happening in your body. When we are able to help our nervous system and body slow down our brain can follow.

There are times we will need to act and fight and there are times we need to find restoration and pause even with everything happening around us and our bodies can be incredible supports in that. Sara Cate and Ashley know you can't generalize the experience of safety but everyone who has a body can utilize the clarity that comes from even one fuller breath. We need to be able to act and engage to protect ourselves, but if we are depleted that can inhibit our ability to do what we need to. Sara Cate + Ashley are here to face these uncertain times with you, hopefully with a fuller breath and a more grounded sense of connection to your body.

Show Notes:
When we distill relationships down, no matter the kind, it’s just two or more people trying to understand each other who are coming from very different life experiences. In this episode Sara Cate + Ashley have a candid discussion about how being able to communicate effectively can be incredibly challenging. Regardless of if we’re talking about conflict or not, being able to allow our vulnerabilities to be shared AND be able to hear the vulnerabilities of others is essential to a healthy connection.

We are often going to get help healing our deepest wounds while in relationship with another (or multiple people). Join the conversation as Sara Cate + Ashley discuss how we can better care for ourselves, and also better care for those we’re in relationship with.

Show Notes:
What do we do when we are irritated with everyone and everything? Is this a nervous system response? And can frustration and irritation actually help move us forward?

Our first experience with these uncomfortable emotions often isn’t the best experience and this can lead to us shutting them down further or trying to continuously avoid them. We may have been lead to believe that we shouldn’t show them or talk about them. The truth is though, that if we’re honest about our human experience, we’re going to come across these emotions. The goal is not to avoid, but to learn enough about our body to understand what we need during these moments.

It’s never too early or too late to start to get curious about your body and what you feel. This session will help give you some insight on things that may be supportive as you experience the uncomfortable…and hopefully even help you see that sometimes it’s the key to being able to take a step forward.
