Podcast

Last week, we talked in depth about the popular and problematic use of the term resistance, often in the spiritual and wellness world, as a way to blame and often shame folks when our nervous system says, “That sounds terrible…” while our brains say, “Sure, okay, I’ll do that…” So, this week, we’re getting into…

I love bringing you discussions from inside Anchored, and recently, we’ve been talking about a term that has become quite the buzzword these days: resistance. Folks in our community bring this up often when we’re working with our inner children or doing somatic practices, and the truth is we need to rethink our relationship with…

I’m so thrilled and grateful to bring you another conversation I had with one of my members of Anchored. This time, I’m speaking to the magnificent Roxanne Darrow. We’ve been working together for a few years, she’s just phenomenal, and I know you’re going to love her. Roxy Darrow is a ghostwriter who specializes in…

We talked recently about your past self, and how vital it is to give that version of us love, care, and compassion for doing the darned best we could with the skills and tools we had at that moment of our lives. Beating ourselves up for being who we were taught to be keeps us…

I’m back this week with another tale of magnificent transformation from a member of the Anchored community. Monica Schrock was in the very first cohort of Anchored, and they’ve been in the alumni program for the last year and a half.

If you’ve spent a lifetime of time, energy, and effort seeking safety from other people and meticulously making sure everyone else is always looked after, but can’t shake the resentment and powerlessness that comes along with this habit, you’re not alone. The good news is that if what you’ve been doing so far hasn’t been…

Polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation have been a cornerstone of my medical practice in functional medicine and in my coaching work as a somatic life coach. I’ve talked a lot about polyvagal theory throughout these podcast episodes over the last three years, but I realized I’ve never done a full-on polyvagal 101, and it’s…

I am beyond delighted to share a conversation with one of my Anchored clients with you this week. Ali Zamora is a nurse practitioner in family medicine who works in San Bernardino County, California. Her story is an incredible case study in overcoming codependency that I know you’ll all find super inspiring, and she’s here…

Given what’s going on in the world right now: the racist-fueled murders in Buffalo and California, the murder of children and teachers in Texas, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and attacks on women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, all during a continuing global pandemic, it’s vital to pause and acknowledge these horrifying tragedies.  This week, I wanted…
