Ever find yourself caught in a loop of analyzing what you're feeling—trying to think your way through the ache, the confusion, the rage, the numbness? Or find that it feels easier to let your mind fix or solve the hard things rather than sense in or move with them?

In this short practice episode, Jennifer England invites you into a somatic experience of feeling—beyond story, solving and fixing. Inspired by her recent conversation with therapist and writer Lisa Olivera, you’re invited to drop the narrative and let music, movement, and presence guide you into a relationship with aliveness.

You’ll be guided through:

• A simple, intuitive practice to shift from analysis into sensation.
• Choosing music that mirrors your current emotional tone—no need for it to be calm or upbeat.
• A movement invitation that meets you exactly where you are—angry, tender, exhausted, joyful, or stuck.

Whether you're overwhelmed, can't access how you're feeling, or somewhere in-between, this episode offers a powerful way to grow your fluency in feeling—by letting your body lead.

What if pain isn’t something to fix or escape—but a wise, living presence asking for our attention?

In this episode, Jennifer sits down with writer and therapist Lisa Olivera for a heartfelt conversation about relating to pain as a wise teacher, rather than an adversary. Drawing from Lisa’s personal journey—shaped by early experiences with a culture that teaches us to avoid pain—they explore:

• The social narratives that keep us from feeling fully
• The role of somatic practice in understanding our body’s intelligence
• What it means to approach suffering with reverence
• The slow, courageous path toward collective belonging

This episode invites you to deepen your fluency with feeling —in your body, the mystery of life and one another.

Ever feel awkward in trying to express, connect or attune to another? Ever interpret your awkwardness as a failure?

In this short practice episode, Jennifer England invites us to explore mispronunciation not just as a linguistic slip, but as a relational metaphor. Inspired by recent conversations with X'unei Lance Twitchell, you’re invited to notice the moments you "miss the mark" in connection—and to consider what might be fertile, even beautiful, in the in-between.

You’ll be guided through:

• A reframing of mispronunciation as an opening, not an error.
• Gentle prompts to explore awkwardness, misunderstanding, and self-expression.
• A two-part inquiry to help you stay present with the discomfort of “not quite getting it right.”
• An embodied invitation to soften and stay—instead of fix or retreat.

Whether you're navigating a tough moment with a loved one or reflecting on your own self-expression, this episode is a chance to pause and relate differently to misunderstanding itself.
