Show Notes:
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:
Receiving as an adult is….well, hard. Especially if we are someone who is very used to giving everything we have to others. In this episode, both Sara Cate + Ashley give vulnerable insight into their personal struggles with allowing others to help, receiving love, and how even though the journey is ongoing, there is refuge in community. This episode will remind you that you are not alone in this quest, and that with the right support we can ALL find safety in receiving the love we are so deserving of!

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.

Show Notes:
Consent isn't just a yes or no. Sara Cate + Ashley explore how you might feel confused and sometimes unsure of what you and your body might want in a moment. Enthusiastic yes's and hell no's, how are those different for you? How do they show up? What does it mean to care for yourself while you learn what your body needs and wants? Sara Cate and Ashley talk about connecting to your own wisdom, to your own intuition. This session helps you discover what too much and too little mean to you when it comes to your body. Remember it is your body, it is your knowing, it is your choice.

Show Notes:

Sara Cate + Ashley love love! And in this very open discussion, they talk about how the process of falling in love, being in love, and falling out of love requires compassion and understanding. They ask questions like: How can we be honest about what choice we want to make and not ignore what we’re feeling? And is it a red flag still if the other person is self-aware enough to be moving through their process with connection to how they want to heal for themselves? And as always, they bring it back to the importance of finding agency in our own body, gaining information, and ultimately moving forward without shame or judgment for the decisions we’ve made.

Show Notes:

Sara Cate + Ashley have a candid discussion about online dating as Ashley has recently decided to re-enter this space. Throughout the conversation a few truths become evident: safety is always top priority, YOU get to decide what your goals for dating are, when you’re connected to who you are you show up differently, and being whole means you don’t need to be “healed” in order to enter a relationship.
