• Being in Our Bodies in Destabilizing Times with Abigail Rose Clarke

  In this tender and truth-filled conversation, I sit down with somatic sage Abigail Rose Clarke to explore the deep waters of somatics, self-trust, and the quiet revolution of choosing presence over performance.Together, we name what it means to live through uncertain times in a body—how community, authenticity, and even gravity itself can be sources of support when the world feels like it’s unraveling. We talk about the sacred mess of motherhood, the difference between tending and repairing, and why small acts of care might just be the most radical thing we can do right now.We also speak to the grief so many of us are carrying—over the failures of the nuclear family model, over lost dreams, and over the myth that we have to hold it all alone. Abigail brings such embodied wisdom to this conversation, especially around the power of somatic practice to help us feel our feelings without getting swept away.This one is for anyone who’s tired of trying to control everything, who’s learning to soften, who’s ready to feel what they feel and still stay present.Come as you are. There’s room here for your rage, your tenderness, your longing to belong.You can access more of Abigail's work here: https://www.abigailroseclarke.com/

• Somatic Style & Rewiring Body Hate with Stasia Savasuk

  Ooooh this episode hits near and dear to my heart. And as we recorded I kept thinking, they are going to love this one! In this episode, I sit down with the radiant Stasia Savasuk to talk about something that hits close to home for so many of us: the tender, tangled relationship between our bodies, our clothes, and our sense of self. We go deep into how personal style can actually become a healing practice—one that helps us come home to our bodies instead of performing someone else’s version of beauty.Stasia shares her own journey of learning to listen to her body after years of shame, hustle, and hiding—especially in the wake of motherhood. We talk about fashion as a language of self-expression, intuitive eating as an act of rebellion, and why claiming your closet is sometimes the first step to reclaiming your life.She also shares such beautiful loving ways she talks with her kids about their bodies, that have stayed with me since our recording. This is a conversation about freedom. About dressing for your body, not against it. About letting joy, pleasure, and truth take up space on your literal and metaphorical hangers. We also talk about travel, community, and how healing can sometimes look like eating gelato in Italy in a dress that makes you feel like a damn goddess.You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Your closet will never be the same. Come join us. Your body is welcome here.If you want to connect with Stasia further, her IG (wonderful!) and @stasiasavasuk

• Guidance for Collapse Times with Holly Truhlar

  Today’s guest is someone whose work lands like a soul-level exhale in a world that so often asks us to numb, bypass, or carry our grief alone.Holly Truhlar is a politicized grief-tender, collapse-aware therapist, and soul activist who invites us into the sacred, communal, and often uncomfortable work of feeling—really feeling—what our culture has long asked us to suppress. She’s collaborated closely with grief elder Francis Weller in training over a thousand people in communal grief rituals and cultural repair. Her work blends depth psychology, systems thinking, and spirituality to tend not just the individual psyche, but our collective soul wounds.Holly challenges the myth of personal pathology and instead helps us see how our sorrow, rage, and burnout are intelligent responses to systems that were never built for our thriving. In a world fraying at the edges, she invites us back to what’s essential: community, ritual, remembrance, and relational repair.If you are a mother, a healer, or a human walking through the long dark asking, “Is it just me?”—this conversation is your answer. It’s not just you. And there are ways through.You can access more of Holly's work and online offerings and training at her website: https://hollytruhlar.com/

• The Masculinity Convo Continues with Rose Hackman

  The masculinity conversation continues! Whip smart researcher, journalist, and the author of Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power, is back on the pod to talk about her upcoming book, Men Too: How a Myth of Male Victimhood Ushered in a New Era of Extremism, and How to Liberate Ourselves From It.This one’s for all the cyclebreaking mamas raising sons, partnered with men — or just navigating what it means to mother in a culture still tangled in old scripts.We talk about the invisible weight women carry in relationships — not just the logistics, but the emotional tracking, the repair, the soothing. The labor that goes unnamed and unshared.We explore how boys are often raised inside a narrow box of masculinity that teaches them to disconnect from their feelings, and how that disconnection has real consequences for their relationships — and their inner lives.We name the reality that so many of our kids are growing up in a world that is digitally overstimulated and relationally undernourished — and how that’s affecting emotional development.And we ground the whole conversation in hope: that change doesn’t require perfection, just connection. That our softness is not weakness. That vulnerability is the beginning of healing — and that you modeling this work, even imperfectly, matters.You are not just raising children. You’re shifting culture.Big love,AnnYou can connect with Rose Hackman and her incredible work and insights at @rosehackwoman on Instagram and her book Emotional Labor; The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power can be purchased anywhere books are sold!

• High Level Humaning with Meghan O'Malley and Laura Cardwell

  Ooooo this one is so good! Like a breath of fresh air. Like sitting in on a conversation between wise women who have lived, learned, and care a whole lot upleveling themselves (and the Collective) with ease, alignment and flow. This, is what we need now, this is what we do now. I sat down (for the second time) with Laura Cardwell and Meghan O’Malley to talk about what it really means to live and lead from the body, and from how we are uniquely designed to operate. Meghan and Laura are mamas, mental health professionals, BEST FRIENDS/PLATONIC WIVES, and business owners. I always giggle and learn things when I hang out with them, you will too. We cover somatic healing, nervous system safety, human design, emotional congruence, and what happens when we finally stop white-knuckling through relationships and start building ones that are sustainable, honest, and nourishing. These women are teachers and expanders for me, and this conversation touched some many topics that have been swimming around in my head and have served me so extremely in my new, mostly-regulated life. We also talk about the evolution of family — how chosen family and collective care are reshaping the way we live, parent, and connect. This episode is a love letter to authenticity, interdependence, and the quiet power of being seen as your full, unfiltered self.Laura and Meghan are the creators of Embodied Leadership by Design, and anyone can benefit from their unique way of using Human Design and the mechanics of these brilliant bodies to find ease and efficacy in their lives. As we mentioned in the episode, you can get your Human Design Type for free and then go off to the races with discovering (and validating!) how you operate in this world. Life-changing. Truly. Meghan O'Malley is a former psychotherapist turned coach, writer, teacher and speaker, and Laura Cardwell is a mystic neuroscientist trained in neurofeedback. They both just finished their first book, and they're just, fabulous. Their website is here: https://www.embodiedleadershipbydesign.com/
