  • The Cost of Keeping the Peace; Are You Betraying Yourself?
    Aug 27 2025

    In this raw and revelatory episode, Christy and Marti explore the Prostitute Archetype not as something shameful, but as a deep survival pattern rooted in childhood. This archetype is the guardian of integrity, showing up anytime we trade our truth for belonging, safety, or approval.

    Together, they reflect on the moments we've all said yes when we meant no, kept quiet to avoid rocking the boat, or betrayed ourselves to keep peace in the tribe. You'll hear how this archetype isn't about moral failure, it’s about how we learned to survive. And it's not your fault.

    Through psychosomatic insights, tapping practices, and reflection prompts, this episode invites you to slow down, listen inward, and rebuild trust with the part of you that once had no choice. This is a journey of reclaiming integrity, not through judgment, but through compassion.

    Key Points:

    • What the Prostitute Archetype is, and how it relates to integrity
    • The link between fawning and self-abandonment as a trauma response
    • "What are you willing to sell yourself out for?" A question to reflect on deeply
    • The importance of tapping on self-judgment first to open space for change
    • How our childhood teaches us to survive by pleasing, performing, or hiding
    • The danger of overvaluing others' opinions instead of trusting your inner knowing
    • Signs of the Prostitute pattern: "I don't want to rock the boat," "It will cost me too much," or "I'll do whatever it takes to keep the peace."
    • Where does this pattern live in the body?
    • The Guardian of Integrity (Light) – honors truth, sets clear boundaries, stands rooted in self-trust

  • You Can't Change What You Don't See
    Aug 13 2025

    In this powerful and deeply validating episode, Christy and Marti explore the Saboteur Archetype through both a psychosomatic and tapping lens. They shine a compassionate light on the unconscious ways we block our progress, not because we're broken, but because we're trying to stay safe.

    From body tension and mind chatter to chronic resistance and judgment, the Saboteur lives where fear and choice collide. You'll hear how patterns learned in childhood show up in your adult nervous system, and how these responses are not your fault, but your responsibility to shift.

    With gentle truths and practical tools, this episode reminds you that you always have a choice. Action may feel hard, but it's the most radical form of self-love. The path forward begins by releasing judgment, listening to your body's cues, and building trust with your inner compass.

    Keys Points:

    • What the Saboteur archetype is and how it works to protect you
    • The difference between resistance and non-resonance
    • Why projection is a shadow of the Saboteur and how it keeps us stuck
    • Releasing the belief that "you attracted this" and why that idea is harmful
    • Patterns you didn't choose but now have the power to shift
    • Why choice is a muscle, and how to strengthen it through small acts of love

  • Are You in the Driver's Seat, or Just Along for the Ride?
    Jul 30 2025

    Christy and Marti explore the patterns of the Child Archetype, particularly when it unconsciously governs adult life. With warmth and insight, they explore what happens when the inner child is activated, why it occurs, and how to shift out of survival and back into sovereignty with love.

    They reflect on the formative years between 0 and 8, when our nervous system is shaped and our subconscious beliefs are formed. During that time, many of us internalized messages like "I'm not allowed," "This isn't fair," or "I need to ask for permission to exist." And unless we learn to notice and care for those younger parts, they often keep leading our lives — silently, but powerfully.

    This episode is an invitation to become the adult who has your back. You'll learn how to spot when your inner child is in the driver's seat, how to create a safe inner environment, and how to reparent the parts of you that never got what they needed.

    Key Points:

    • How the child brain forms beliefs to stay safe — even if they're untrue
    • The difference between acute stress and chronic emotional stress
    • Core child phrases: "This isn't fair," "I'm invisible," "I need permission."
    • What it means when your inner child gets activated — and how to notice it
    • How to respond with compassion, not shame, when you get triggered
    • How to become the one who "has your own back" in moments of fear or overwhelm
    • How to shift out of unconscious patterns into conscious choice
