We Didn't Plan For This… is a new special series from the hosts of How Yoga Changed My Life about navigating life transitions, and unexpected change in real time.After Adrienne's sudden loss of her husband, so many of you reached out with the same words: “I didn't plan for this either.” A diagnosis. A body that changed. A marriage that shifted. A child who is struggling. A dream that fell apart.This first episode sets the tone for the series. We're not rehashing the details of what happened. We're talking about where we are now — and how yoga, breath, and small daily practices can help us keep showing up through grief, parenting, identity shifts, and hard seasons.This is not trauma-informed certification language. It's not five steps to resilience. It's honest conversation about strength, energy, work, friendship, our bodies, and ordinary days that don't look the way we expected.We're not trying to fix anything.We're living it — as it's happening.And at the end of each episode, we'll pause together before stepping back into our day.We didn't plan for this.But we're here.Support the Smith FamilySeveral people have asked how to support our family during this time.

This week, Ashley is prioritising her health, so please enjoy this re-run of Episode 7 of Mindful Mondays.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, we explore what it means to truly allow — to let life, emotions, and even other people simply be as they are.Spiritual teacher, Ram Dass, once observed that when we look at trees, we accept them - crooked, bent, imperfect, yet utterly beautiful. But when we look at people and ourselves, we judge. In this episode, Ashley explores how we can return to that same compassionate seeing toward others and toward ourselves. Blending mindfulness, neuroscience, and psychology, we explore how allowing what is can reduce anxiety, soften resistance, and bring peace to the neurodivergent mind and body.Ashley also shares a modern Buddhist parable and Jon Kabat-Zinn's timeless reminder:“Give yourself permission to allow this moment to be exactly as it is,and allow yourself to be exactly as you are.”The episode closes with a deeply hypnotic guided meditation - a forest journey into self-acceptance and inner stillness.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

Our dialogue delves into the intricacies of anxiety and the underlying emotions that often fuel it. I invite listeners to reflect on their relationship with anxiety and how to discern the subtle messages it communicates.A significant focus of our discussion is the Hidden Emotion Model—a technique I learned and refined during my training that unveils the repressed feelings driving anxiety. Dr. Burns eloquently explains how individuals, often conscientious and "nice," suppress emotions like fear, anger, and disappointment, which leads to heightened anxiety. By recognizing and articulating these hidden emotions, individuals can often alleviate their anxiety significantly. Dr. Burns shares a compelling vignette involving a man struggling with panic attacks after receiving unexpected news about parenthood. This example illustrates the necessity of acknowledging uncomfortable emotions to pave the way for healing.Our conversation also touches on the societal stigmas surrounding emotional expression, particularly for those who identify as "nice" people. Dr. Burns and I explore how mental health diagnostics can inadvertently contribute to feelings of shame and inadequacy among patients. It's a powerful reminder that many who battle anxiety face not only internal struggles but external societal pressures that may dictate how they should feel or behave.#Anxiety, #PanicAttacks, #MentalHealth, #CBT, #DrDavidBurns, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #FeelingGood, #FeelingGreat, #Psychology, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #Recovery, #Wellness, #Healing, #StressRelief, #InnerPeace, #MentalWellness, #SelfCare, #Therapy, #Coaching, #EmotionalIntelligence, #NervousSystem, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder, #SocialAnxiety, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #GrowthMindset, #Authenticity, #Boundaries, #SelfLove, #IntrusiveThoughts, #OCD, #HealthAnxiety, #MindfulLiving, #Breathwork, #Meditation, #Zen, #Spirituality, #PersonalGrowth, #Resilience, #Empowerment, #HealthyMind, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Psychotherapy, #Counseling, #WellnessJourney, #LifeCoaching, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietySupportSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fitness Week 14.5 breathwork; 14.6 Capoeira & Shotokan green to purple

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to the sudden cancellation of Smiling Friends — a hugely popular animated show created by Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel.At the height of its success, the creators announced they were ending the show after season three due to burnout. Jordan and Simon unpack what that decision means, not just for fans, but for neurodivergent creatives who know what it feels like to hit a wall after achieving something huge.They explore the tension between creative integrity and audience grief, the difficulty of abrupt endings, and why burnout can sometimes mean walking away — even from something you love.With Malcolm in the Middle and Scrubs both returning, they reflect on how Malcolm's family remains one of the most authentic portrayals of a chaotic, neurodivergent-coded family on television — and what it means when our comfort shows return after years away.In this episode, we discuss:Neurodivergent creator burnoutWalking away at the height of successcreative Integrity vs financial opportunityAudience grief when shows endThe risk of investing in cancelled seriesComfort shows and “cosy watch” rewatchesMalcolm in the Middle as ND representationA thoughtful, funny conversation about burnout, creative autonomy, comfort shows, and the emotional impact of losing — and regaining — the stories that feel like home.Our Sponsors:

Legacy Love — Episode 3 of 4 (Official Legacy Love Episode 2)In this powerful episode of Legacy Love, IAYAALIS goes beyond surface-level self-care and gets into the real work of Self-Love: the kind that shows up when you're triggered, when your boundaries are tested, and when old patterns try to pull you back into self-abandonment.This is not the “treat yourself” version of healing. This is a grounded, body-based conversation about what Self-Love actually looks like in real life.Inside this episode, we explore:Why Self-Love can feel hard when your nervous system was trained for survival instead of safetyThe Calm Check — a simple body-based way to tell the difference between real love and anxietyHow “chemistry” can sometimes be trauma activation in disguiseReparenting in plain language (no heavy therapy jargon)3 Self-Love standards to help you move differently: clarity, consistency, and reciprocityA short guided reset practice to help bring your body back to safetyReflective journal prompts to help you identify where you're still abandoning yourself and what standards you're ready to holdThis episode is for anyone who has heard “love yourself” a thousand times… but was never truly shown how to do that in a way that changes your life.And yes — this is about you, but it's also about what comes after you.Because every standard you set…every boundary you hold…and every pattern you break…becomes part of your Legacy Love.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why neurodivergent people can be more vulnerable to negative influence.Growing up feeling different often leads to masking, people-pleasing, and a fragile sense of identity. When belonging has felt conditional, it can become easier to agree, adapt, and absorb the views of others just to avoid rejection.Jordan shares a recent experience of being let down by someone he trusted, while Simon reflects on a past friendship that crossed into manipulation and exploitation. They unpack how loneliness, burnout, justice sensitivity, and the need for certainty can leave neurodivergent people more susceptible to toxic dynamics.The conversation also dives into social media, echo chambers, and algorithm-driven radicalisation, and how validation, moral clarity, and belonging can feel regulating even when the influence itself is harmful.In this episode, we discuss:Masking and weakened identityPeople-pleasing and toxic friendshipsJustice sensitivity is being exploitedLoneliness and manipulationSocial media echo chambersDoom-scrolling and radicalisationBurnout and impulsive decisionsKnowing your vulnerable seasonsAn honest episode about influence, autonomy, and learning to protect yourself without losing your openness.Our Sponsors:

If your core feels tight all the time… that's not strength. If you're constantly sucking in your stomach, clenching your abs, gripping your glutes, or holding your pelvic floor “just in case” — this episode is for you. So many women have been taught that strength means tension. Brace harder. Squeeze more. Engage constantly. Never relax. But what if that gripping is actually the reason you still feel weak… leak when you run… or experience pelvic pain? In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between true core strength and chronic tension — and why tight does not equal strong. In This Episode, We Cover: Why women often confuse tension with strength The cultural conditioning behind “suck it in” fitness cues How over-bracing impacts the diaphragm and pelvic floor The connection between gripping, leaking, and prolapse symptoms Why a tight pelvic floor can still be dysfunctional What real, functional strength actually feels like How breath and pressure management build resilient core stability Simple ways to stop over-gripping and start building true strength The Truth About Pelvic Floor & Core Strength Your pelvic floor is not meant to be clenched all day. It should contract and relax. Lift and descend. Respond and adapt. When your body only knows how to grip, it loses its ability to coordinate under real-life load — like running, lifting, jumping, or even laughing. True strength is: Breathable Responsive Adaptive Coordinated Not rigid. Not braced at 100%. Not constantly “on.” If You've Experienced… Leaking during workouts Pelvic pressure or heaviness Pain with intimacy Constipation Low back tension A core that feels tight but unstable …this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening. Why This Matters You can't build power on top of dysfunction. Before adding more crunches, heavier weights, or more kegels — your body needs coordination. That's exactly what we focus on inside RESTORE, my 12-week pelvic floor and core rebuilding program inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More app. We start with breath. Rebuild pressure management. Restore true core control. Then layer strength safely and progressively. Because strong women don't need to grip harder. They need to move smarter. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who thinks tight = strong

In this guided meditation from the Mindful FIRE Legends community, we explore the question: “Is this story useful?” When doubt or unhelpful narratives start bubbling up, this practice helps you slow down, notice what is here, and gently loosen your grip on the thoughts that shape how you experience your life.We begin by finding a posture that is both alert and relaxed, then settle in with three deep breaths. From there, you are guided to observe the stories your mind is offering, and to relate to them with curiosity instead of automatically believing them.If you would like to join one of these live meditations and community meetings, you can sign up at mindfulfire.org/join.In this meditation, you willSettle your body into a calm, steady postureUse breath to drop into the present momentNotice doubt and unhelpful stories without judgmentPractice asking whether a thought is useful, not whether it is trueCreate space to choose a more supportive perspectiveAbout Mindful FIRE LegendsMindful FIRE Legends is a community for people on the path to Financial Independence who want more connection, support, and encouragement along the way.

Some days are flat. The milestones drift. The questions feel heavier than they should. In this episode, I talk honestly about pressing pause on romance and pouring that energy into purpose — advocacy, community, and building work that actually fits the season I'm in.We unpack life with multiple diagnoses — generalised anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, BPD, bipolar II — without turning identity into a checklist. Dysregulated Daily is my way of showing the real picture: the wins, the losses, and the long grey in between. Because when crisis hits, people don't need perfect answers. They need someone to sit beside them. Go to ED. Wait the hours. Support beats speeches every time. Trust me.I dig into stigma — especially around Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Schizoaffective disorder — and why research needs to be translated into something human, usable, and real. With one in five Australians facing a diagnosable mental health condition, making care clearer and more navigable isn't optional. It's urgent. And it's in the public best interest.I don't have everything figured out. God, I am trying hard to figure it out though, But I'm steady on the mission. If this episode resonates, follow Dysregulated Daily, on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube share it with someone who needs it, and leave a rating so these conversations can reach further. And best of all? I got that little dopamine hit.

Hey Heal Squad! It's another What Worked This Week with Maria,  and this one is all about simple shifts that can create real healing. First up a powerful breathing technique Maria was reminded of when she chatted with someone who does bioresonance therapy. Let's just say if you have had moments of anxiety, fear, or just need a quick reset …this  exercise totally helps! It can help regulate the nervous system and move out of fight-or-flight. Such a great tool! Next a spontaneous moment with her dad that turned into something magical. Using AI tools, they created an original song in Greek which is  proof that creativity and technology can come together in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. We promise this song will make you cry even if you don't understand Greek. Then, have you ever had a “no plans” day?? Maria's cancelled commitment led to a full self care day and again it was another great reminder that rest isn't a luxury, it's necessary. Finally, forgiveness. Maria reflects on how holding onto anger can live in the body ( her hips are where she stores it!). But releasing it can open the door to true healing. We hope you love these little tools that can make the week that much better! Enjoy!

Six months ago, Mindful Mondays began as a simple weekly pause - a space to soften into presence and honour the neurodivergent nervous system.Twenty-six episodes later, something far more coherent has emerged.In this special half-year reflection, Ashley traces the living map that has been quietly forming beneath the surface - from radical acceptance and time reframing, to forest wisdom and the art of allowing… from nervous system cartography and breath as bridge, to loving-kindness, radical permission, and the true architecture of change.Together, we revisit the core sequence that has shaped this journey:Presence.Allowing.Regulation.Story.Compassion.Breakthrough.Resilience.Sensitivity as strength.This episode is not simply a recap - it is an integration. A chance to step back and see the pattern. To recognise that your sensitivity was never a flaw to correct, but an instrument to understand.The episode closes with a deeply immersive guided practice, Reweaving the Map, blending three beloved meditations from the past six months - the Forest of Allowing, the Weaver of Stories, and Loving-Kindness - into one cohesive inner journey.A celebration.A consolidation.And a reminder that the map is still unfolding.Our Sponsors:

If you've been following this series on pain with intimacy, you now understand: ✔️ What might be causing your pain ✔️ How mental load and nervous system stress impact arousal ✔️ Why pushing through makes things worse ✔️ Practical rehab strategies to reduce tension Now let's talk about something we don't normalize enough: Supportive tools. Because using tools does not mean you're broken. It means you're intentional. In this final episode of the series, we're discussing the different tools and toys that can reduce pain, improve blood flow, calm guarding, and help you rebuild positive experiences in your body — safely and confidently. In This Episode, We Cover: Why tools can help retrain pain pathways The connection between blood flow, arousal, and pelvic floor relaxation How graded exposure reduces guarding Why friction (not failure) is often the problem The role of pleasure in nervous system regulation If pain continues, worsens, or feels deeply triggering, it's time to see a pelvic floor PT. The Bigger Reframe Tools are not a crutch. They are bridges. Bridges between pain and safety. Between guarding and openness. Between survival and pleasure. Pleasure is not indulgent. It is nervous system medicine. Want Structured Guidance? Inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, there is a FREE Masterclass: From Pain to Pleasure that you can access inside the app here: https://pelvic-floor-core-more.passion.io/  Or if you want more guidance join my 12 wk RESTORE program, where we combine: Breathwork Nervous system regulation Mobility and downtraining Core and pelvic floor coordination Progressive strengthening So you're not guessing which tools to use — or when. (More on what this is and how to join below) And if your pain is complex, trauma-related, or persistent, 1:1 pelvic floor PT may be your best next step. You don't have to navigate this alone. This wraps our Pain with Intimacy series — but healing doesn't end here. Your body is not broken. It is layered. And layered healing is possible. ~ XO Dr. Des

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to major BAFTA wins for I Swear — including Robert Aramayo taking home Best Actor and the EE Rising Star Award.After previously calling it a “travesty” that Aramayo wasn't Oscar-nominated, Jordan reflects on why this win feels so significant — not just for the actor, but for neurodivergent representation in film.They unpack why I Swear works: it doesn't reduce Tourette's to a stereotype, it tells the story of one human being. The film focuses on John Davidson's life, not just his diagnosis — showing difference without pity, and representation without forcing a message.The conversation expands into a wider discussion about authentic storytelling vs performative diversity, why some representation feels natural while others feel manufactured, and how shows like Malcolm in the Middle, The Simpsons, Stranger Things, Bob's Burgers, and Rick and Morty have portrayed neurodivergent-coded characters for decades without making diagnosis the sole narrative.Note: This episode was recorded before wider discussion emerged regarding a moment during the BAFTA ceremony involving an involuntary vocal tic from John Davidson. We recognise the complexity and sensitivity of the situation. Our discussion here focuses specifically on the significance of authentic neurodivergent representation in film.This episode discusses:Robert Aramayo's BAFTA winWhy I Swear resonates so deeplyAuthentic vs forced representationTourette's, autism, ADHD and coded charactersThe legacy of Rain Man and stereotypesWhy storytelling should centre the person, not the conditionHow powerful representation builds confidenceNeurodivergent “goggles” and seeing ND traits everywhereWhy natural inclusion works better than box-tickingA passionate, funny, and thoughtful reaction episode about film, advocacy, and why authentic representation matters more than ever.Our Sponsors:

You're intelligent. You're capable. You're prepared. So why does your body still react under pressure? In this episode of the Social Skills Mastery Podcast, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist Kristine Ovsepian to explore the physiological side of anxiety and whether tools like hypnotherapy and breathwork can reduce the internal friction that keeps high-achieving professionals from speaking up and stepping forward. We discuss what hypnotherapy actually is (and isn't), how it works neurologically, whether it can help with social anxiety and fear of visibility, and how trauma and stress responses shape professional performance. We also break down breathwork in practical terms and explore when hypnotherapy is a smart complement to coaching. If you've normalized the tension before meetings, the racing thoughts before presentations, or the quiet avoidance of leadership visibility,  this episode will challenge you to reconsider whether that friction is necessary. In This Episode, We Discuss: What hypnotherapy actually is and how it differs from stage hypnosis What happens in the brain and nervous system during hypnosis Whether hypnotherapy can reduce social anxiety and fear of public speaking How trauma (big or small) can shape adult anxiety patterns What breathwork is and how it affects emotional regulation When hypnotherapy is appropriate — and when it isn't   As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, Kristine Ovsepian blends science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, she helps her clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power. Guided by love, intuition, and purpose, she holds space for her clients to awaken, release what no longer serves them, and step fully into their highest path.   Website: www.journeystoheal.com   Instagram:  @journeystoheal   Facebook   LinkedIn       Yelp    ** Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills?

How much of your life is spent performing a role versus actually inhabiting your own skin? For many high-achieving women and business owners, the "hustle" isn't just a schedule, it's a shield. Today, I'm joined by my partner in crime, Stephanie Singer, to pull back the curtain on our last BLSS retreat and why the "magic" people felt wasn't accidental...it was deeply somatic.We dive into the necessity of physical proximity in a world that has become overly digitized and disconnected. As a trauma expert, I see how often we try to "mind" our way out of core wounds, but true transformation happens when you are witnessed in a safe, high-frequency container. We discuss the radical act of valuing yourself enough to step out of your daily environment and into a space designed for your expansion. This isn't just about a "getaway"; it's about deprogramming from the societal expectations that demand women be everything to everyone while leaving nothing for themselves.We explore how vulnerability acts as a catalyst for leadership and why reclaiming your consciousness requires the courage to be seen in your most authentic state. What becomes possible when you finally place the highest value on your own soul?TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy the "magic" of BLSS was actually a somatic recalibrationThe irreplaceable frequency of being "in the room"The "percolation trap"How collective vulnerability accelerates trauma healingEmbodiment vs. PerformanceWhy high-achieving women refuse to invest in restorationIs "doing nothing" the most productive part of integration?Shifting the cultural narrative of what women owe the worldShedding the Ancestral MaskYour seat at the table is a choice, not an accident**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Practical solutions, breathwork sessions, journaling prompts, and more...

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James returns from New Zealand and joins Simon Scott for an honest and surprisingly positive conversation about travelling as a neurodivergent person.From long-haul flights and jet lag to airport anxiety and invisible disability accommodations, they reflect on how different this trip felt compared to previous travel experiences. Jordan shares how advocating for pre-boarding, using the sunflower lanyard, and clearly communicating needs made a significant difference — and why asking for accommodations can completely change the experience of flying.They also explore the cognitive and sensory impact of jet lag, navigating time zone shifts, balancing FOMO with regulation, and knowing when to cancel plans instead of pushing through burnout.This episode explores:Travelling with invisible disabilitiesAdvocating for airport accommodationsSunflower lanyards and pre-boardingLong-haul flights and neurodivergent sensory stressJet lag and ADHD brain fogFOMO vs nervous system regulationSpecial interests and travel intensityBeing present vs filming everythingPost-holiday blues and returning to routineA relaxed but reflective episode about autonomy, accessibility, travel anxiety, and learning to prioritise regulation over pressure — even when you're standing at Mount Doom.Our Sponsors:

Una pausa consciente para esos momentos en que la prisa interna se activa. La ilusión de controlar el tiempo nos desconecta de su ritmo natural. En este episodio te comparto una anécdota dentro del sauna que me llevó a reflexionar sobre el paso del tiempo y nuestra tendencia a querer ajustar su velocidad según lo que estamos sintiendo. Si la estamos pasando mal, queremos que corra.Si la estamos pasando bien, queremos que se detenga. ¿Te has sentido así? Esta es una invitación a respirar… y volver a habitar el tiempo tal como es.

Today on the podcast the guys talk to Sophie Saemrow from Conscious Flow Breathwork in Byron Bay. Jerry visited Byron Bay around 18 months ago, and has been talking about his breath workshop since... it's time to find out what it was all about.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Girl, How many times have you ignored your body because you felt guilty? Guilty for not working out. Guilty for wanting alone time. Guilty for not being in the mood. Guilty for resting. Guilty for saying no. Guilty for going to girls' night. Guilty for spending money on yourself. In this episode, we're unpacking something that quietly sabotages women's health more than almost anything else: guilt. Because guilt doesn't just live in your mind. It lives in your nervous system. It lives in your breath. It lives in your pelvic floor. And every time you override your truth to keep the peace, avoid discomfort, or prove your worth — your body absorbs it. In This Episode, We Explore: Why guilt is often conditioning — not intuition How guilt shows up in movement, intimacy, rest, and relationships The connection between guilt, stress, and pelvic floor tension Why pushing through pain (in workouts or intercourse) creates more dysfunction How guilt keeps women stuck in all-or-nothing cycles The physiological impact of chronic guilt on cortisol, breath, and muscle tone The difference between guilt and integrity Practical ways to stop betraying your body in small, daily moments Every time you override your truth, your body adapts to that pattern. And over time, that pattern becomes pain. Or leaking. Or pressure. Or disconnection. Small moments of honesty create safety in your body. And safety is where healing begins. How This Connects to RESTORE Inside RESTORE, we don't just strengthen your core and pelvic floor. We: Retrain your breath Regulate your nervous system Address tension patterns Teach you how to move without overriding your body Help you rebuild strength from safety — not guilt Because true strength is not forcing your body to comply. It's learning how to listen to it.

What if your hormone imbalance is not just a hormone problem, but a nervous system and emotional overload problem?  In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore why so many women feel puffy, inflamed, exhausted, and hormonally off even when labs look “normal.” Dr. Jensen connects inflammation, cortisol, progesterone depletion, estrogen dominance, and liver support with the deeper layers most people miss: stress patterns, identity roles, generational stories, and the constant input from news and social media. They also dive into her new book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, plus practical tools like breathwork, red light, seasonal whole foods, and gentle nervous system regulation. Key Topics Covered Why hormone symptoms can reflect emotional and relational overload Nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, adrenaline, and progesterone depletion How chronic stress can create a bigger estrogen to progesterone imbalance Why blood work can look normal while you still feel off Urine hormone metabolite testing and what it can reveal about detox pathways Breathwork for lowering cortisol and shifting into rest at night Red light as a nervous system tool, especially in the evening Liver support for inflammation and hormone clearance (milk thistle, turmeric) Calming herbs: ashwagandha, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), skullcap, ziziphus Whole foods and seasonal eating, including “the season of life” concept Movement without overtraining, including walking and habit stacking HRV as a helpful metric, plus the importance of listening to your body How doom scrolling impacts dopamine, oxytocin, and your sense of safety Mitochondria, maternal stress patterns, and inherited nervous system wiring Dopamine as motivation and joy, and oxytocin as bonding and connection Resources Mentioned Dr. Sonya Jensen Website: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/?hl=en Book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: https://healyourhormonesbook.com Follow Ben Azadi

Sound is one of the fastest, most powerful systems in the human brain. It can soothe, destabilise, regulate, overwhelm - and, when used intentionally, it can become a profound tool for nervous system support.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the neuroscience and lived experience of sound for neurodivergent minds. From music and rhythm as ancient emotional language, to binaural beats and brainwave states, humming and vagus nerve activation, ASMR, pink noise, and the surprising science behind tinnitus and musical ear syndrome.We also talk honestly about misophonia, loud noise sensitivity, and the cocktail party effect - and why regulation, not exposure, is the key.The episode closes with a guided theta journey using Alexander Voloshin of Healing Meditation Music's theta binaural beats - an immersive sound experience designed to gently support deep rest, insight, and recalibration.If sound has ever felt like too much - or not enough - this episode will help you understand why, and how to work with it.Headphones recommended.Our Sponsors:

You named the love you didn't choose. Now let's watch it move. In Episode 1, we went deep into the three inherited love patterns—Conditional, Silent, and Sacrificial — and the childhood sentence you've been trying to finish your whole adult life. If that episode shook something loose in you, this one is going to show you exactly how that shaking plays out in real time.Because here's the truth nobody wants to admit: most relationship pain is not random. It's not bad luck. It's not “I just keep picking the wrong people.” It's patterned. It's rehearsed. It's a loop. And what you've been calling “my type” ...might actually be your wound wearing a new outfit.In this episode: • The Pattern Loop explained: Trigger → Reflex → Story — the three-step cycle that keeps you stuck • Why your nervous system picks “familiar” over “healthy”—and what to do about it • Real-life examples across romance, family, friendship, and work so you can spot the loop in YOUR life • A brotha's story: how emotional shutdown looked like “strength” —until it almost cost him everything • A 60-second interruption practice you can use the moment you feel yourself slipping into the old scriptThis episode might feel exposing. But it's not here to shame you.It's here to free you.New to the series? Start with Episode 1: “The Love You Didn't Choose” — it lays the foundation for everything you'll hear today.Go deeper: • Get “Legacy Love: The Reset” ($11) — [product link] ✨ Eternal Supernal ✨ - IAYAALIS / Supernal RootzSupport the show

Pelvic floor tips to move from tension and guarding to comfort and confidence If you've been listening to this series and thinking… “Okay, I understand what might be causing my pain.” “I see how stress and mental load are affecting my body.” “But what do I actually DO?” This episode is your next step. Pain with intimacy is common — but it is not something you have to push through, numb out, or accept as your new normal. Today we're talking about practical, body-based strategies to reduce pelvic floor tension, rebuild safety, and gradually restore comfort and confidence in the bedroom. Because healing isn't about forcing relaxation. It's about creating safety. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pushing through pain makes it worse The pain → guarding → more pain cycle Why many women with painful intercourse actually have an overactive pelvic floor (not a weak one) The importance of downtraining before strengthening 360 breathing and long exhale techniques to calm tension “Hip breathers” and mobility work that support pelvic relaxation External soft tissue release before internal work How to approach dilators or pelvic wand work safely (if appropriate) The power of slowing down arousal and removing performance pressure Lube, positioning, and small environmental shifts that make a big difference How graded exposure helps retrain the brain and calm pain pathways The Big Reframe Pain with intimacy is not a sign that you are broken. It is information. Your nervous system and pelvic floor are communicating something — often about tension, overwhelm, fear, or past experiences. When we respond with pressure, force, or avoidance, the guarding increases. When we respond with safety, breath, and gradual progression, the body adapts. Your brain and pelvic floor are deeply connected — and both can relearn safety. Practical Starting Points If you're experiencing pain with intercourse, consider: ✔️ Pausing penetration temporarily ✔️ Focusing on breath and long exhales daily ✔️ Addressing hip, inner thigh, and glute tension ✔️ Prioritizing arousal before penetration ✔️ Experimenting with positions that give you control ✔️ Removing pressure to “perform” Remember: intimacy does not equal penetration. Connection and pleasure are broader than we were taught. When to See a Pelvic Floor PT You may benefit from professional support if: Pain persists beyond a few months You have a history of tearing or scar tissue You experience severe guarding or anxiety You're avoiding intimacy entirely DIY approaches aren't helping Inside RESTORE, we focus on breath coordination, nervous system regulation, mobility, and pelvic floor retraining in a progressive, supportive way. For more complex or severe pain, 1:1 pelvic floor physical therapy may be the best next step. You do not have to navigate this alone. Up Next in the Series In our next episode, we'll talk about rebuilding confidence and reclaiming pleasure — not just reducing pain. Because healing is not just about eliminating symptoms. It's about expanding what's possible. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear that pain with intimacy is treatable — and that softness is strength. ~ XO Dr. Des
