Dream Deep: Stories From Inside

Today is Molly's birthday, let's shower her with love! A little meditation for all of you to practice letting love in, sometimes easier said than done. You'll want a comfortable seat where you can drop in to your inner world for a bit. Breath and beat focus here to nurture your whole being. Oh happy days!

The relationships we choose and the ones we are born into. "How can I treat myself like a really good friend?", says Molly. "The beauty of letting ourselves change and be changed", says Nikki. Thank you for being in relationship, here, with us.

We are back! With summer break officially in full swing, our kids in the background, we are diving into relationships. The ones we choose, and the ones we are born into. Thanks for tuning in and listening in with us we are always learning a lot- together, in our lives, and as we navigate this wonderful topic of relationships. This is the first part of a series of conversations we are choosing to have together over the next few months. Authenticity. Learning to lie. My abortion story. True self. Pushing things under the rug. Hiding. Facade of myself. Joy. Pleasure. Truth. All pieces of us here for you to unpack.

Tune in to tune up. Recharge your nervous system with this guided meditation where we use our breath to nourish our entire being. This meditation guides us each back into presence. Thank you for being here with us. -Nikki *this meditation is part of Circle Up: a monthly membership with Nikki focused on yoga, creativity, and mindfulness.

What am I feeling? Why am I feeling this way? Naming it, to understand, and then the choice to share your feelings aloud. As Molly says, "Even if it's painful, it's always beneficial to name it." As Nikki says, "Language opens us or limits us (to our emotions), depending on how we use it." Together we share tools and resources in navigating our own emotional lives- with quotes and work from: Gabor Mate, Brene Brown, Michael Meade, and Maya Angelou. Listen and learn with us.

We are back, together again, with some of our favorite poets to share with you: Nikita Gill, yung pueblo, Maya Angelou, Eckhart Tolle, Pixie Lighthorse, and nayyirah waheed. Together, we share how the inner critic creeps up, we talk about survivorship and what it means to share your words and your voice. We discuss how stuck we can get, and unpack the truth about art and language. It is important for us to honor these voices, and to share how reading aloud to each other changes us. We hope it brings you some hope as you venture forward.

Take a pause in your busy day from work, or parenting, or partnering. Step away from the screen and tune into your body for ten minutes. Let yourself show up more fully, more generous, and more available after giving to yourself. This is a short, standing 10 minute tune up and tune in for the whole body.

A candid conversation about goal setting and intentions as we move deeper into 2022. Molly and Nikki share their lessons and goals for how they are looking at this year, things they are excited about, and what they are focusing on this year. Welcome to 2022! Thank you for being here with us.

Tune in, pause, and practice releasing emotions, people, and things that are weighing you down. This is a 30 minute guided experience, find a comfortable place to sit before you begin. All levels welcome.

Together, we unpack how we both do and how we practice being in the world. We begin this episode with words from yung pueblo and share tools that get us through, keep us grounded, and motivated. Molly shares her daily mantra- "every cell in my body is alive and beautiful", and Nikki shares words from Joan of Arc, " I am not afraid, I was born to do this', that are calling to her. We close with a heart centering meditation, we hope you'll join us.

A conversation between Molly and Nikki, inspired by The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. In this conversation we get real about what it means to walk with, stand still, and walk from guilt, shame, and vulnerability. "Maybe it (vulnerability) would be less scary if we saw more people doing it." -Molly "How can I help my girls navigate their emotional life to show up resilient, strong, but also soft?" -Nikki Dig in with us, and take some tools from us. Thank you for being present.

What do you confront in your life, and where/when do you speak up? 'When I think of growth, I think of a line from Ram Dass who says, "we are all just walking each other home." -Nikki 'Have you forgiven yourself for these things that have happened?' -Molly Grow with us, as we process what it means to grow and what we are learning from our own growth.

My personal story in learning that I had Covid while traveling in Morocco during this pandemic. In this episode, I share what got me through, trusting the breath even when it's hard, and how the kindness of strangers continues to show up. I hope you'll listen and learn along with me. Love, Nikki

In this episode, Molly and Nikki discuss running as a spiritual practice and look at ways in which they create priority in their lives. Both longtime fans of running and believers in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of the practice. When we take the time prioritize ourselves, we can show up more fully in the other roles in our lives. Join our conversation. "Being one with nature."-Molly "The ritual of a longterm practice is that it becomes spiritual."-Nikki

What does spirituality mean to you? In this episode, Molly and Nikki unpack spirituality, what it means to them, and how each of their upbringings has shaped them.

"It's not I can't, it's I can't YET..." says Margot. "Everyday living is about risk taking."- say I:) Listen in, turn yourself on.

'You become a child again', says Molly. "The longest improvisation lesson I have ever been in", says Nikki.
