    S5E6 How to Overcome Codependency, Fear of Conflict & Discover Your Wise ‘Inner Mother’ | Krista Williams

    Do you notice the same patterns keep coming up with your partner or friendships? Do you find yourself afraid of conflict – avoiding hard, but necessary conversations? Are you struggling with creating the space to feel your emotions instead of numbing them? Krista Williams is a coach, podcast host, and close friend who shares how the “mother wound” shows up in our social dynamics and the way we feel safe in the world, why codependency extends far beyond our partner, and the impact of Internal Family Systems (IFS) also known as ‘parts work’ on getting in touch with your inner mother.
     
    HERE’S THE JUICE:
    What the “mother wound” is and how it is crucial for developing female friendships & feeling safe in the world
    Why codependency stems from a desire for safety, stability, and connection in intimate relationships
    How using internal family systems (IFS) can help us hear our true “inner mother” who has acceptance for all parts of us
    How to recognize your inner voices like the critic, perfectionist, child, and rebel
    The challenges of adjusting to different versions of yourself, especially as we change and grow in the context of long term relationships
    Exactly how to create space to feel your emotions and the questions to ask yourself to start processing them
    The power of curiosity & asking questions in supporting your friends to come to their OWN conclusions, instead of going into fixer mode
    How a darkness retreat taught Krista how to self regulate and process her emotions for the first time

    S5E2 Returning Home to Your Body with Ancient Ayurvedic Wisdom | Radhi Devlukia

    It takes time, love and presence to build trust with those we love… but how do we build a true relationship with ourselves, too? Sometimes it gets ugly when we start the journey to become our own friend. In this episode with Radhi Devlukia, we cover the exact practices and questions you can ask yourself to figure out who you really are vs. how your ego wants to be seen, and reconnect with your own voice (even if you’ve never heard it before). While we go deep, we also cover the top 3 Ayurvedic practices you should implement into your day and how to prepare potent kitchen medicine by adding therapeutic spices to your food.
     
    HERE’S THE JUICE:
     
    How Radhi’s cultural upbringing in an Indian home with Ayurvedic influence deeply impacted her life path
    Ayurvedic inspired practices to develop a relationship with your body
    Why sharing your knowledge with the world is critical for shedding your ego
    A reframe to stop letting imposter syndrome get in the way)
    How our “seen culture” translates to social anxiety and people pleasing
    How you can only access the hearts of others when you speak from your own heart
    The one simple practice that will help to align you with your true self
    How ‘mantra meditation’ can be the perfect solution if you struggle to meditate in silence
    Why sitting with yourself in moments of silence and discomfort can help you hear your actual voice

HMO Episode

Which episode is the one about HMO and formula for babies? I can’t find it.

This podcast used to be my favorite

With every season, it's losing what made it so special. The information gets less and less straightforward and easily applicable for everyday use, and at the same time, feels completely scripted. The advice and services being marketed become less and less accessible, and the facade of sharing valuable information has fully melted away leaving an incredibly gimmicky, judgy mess where Olivia gets to flex her connections and lifestyle. I really thought the reduction in production and fluff was goin to bring this back and I'm super disappointed to find that so far that is not the case at all. I'm still hoping for the day we get back season 1 energy. Full of love for herbs, conversation that was welcoming, soothing, explorative and immediately applicable without leaving the listener feeling like they're doing life wrong. All in all, if you want to be marketed to for an hour, this has become a great place to get that. The fact that she's managed to achieve that while not taking outside sponsorships (something I do deeply respect) is wildly confusing. Hoping for the day that's not the case, and as much as I truly want to see that, I'm not holding my breath.
