We talk with Scott Berman, founder of Sky Cave Retreats, about what extended time in complete darkness actually does to the body and mind when distractions, orientation, and performance all fall away. Sky Cave Retreats: https://www.skycaveretreats.com/We focus on nervous system safety, permission to feel what is here, and why the “right” darkness retreat is less about endurance and more about how you relate to yourself. • What a darkness retreat is and how Sky Cave cabins are designed for total blackout and near silence • Why the retreat container and expectations can shape what people allow themselves to feel • Disorientation, survival responses, and how fight flight freeze can show up in the dark • Using the body as an anchor when visual cues disappear • The difference between techniques used for connection versus strategies used to manage experience • Softening as allowing and being with, not forcing a “soft” persona or positivity filter • How the program is structured with preparation, touch-ins, and integration support • The ancient roots of darkness practice across cultures and lineages • Scott's personal journey and how Sky Cave evolved with a nervous system lens • Who tends to benefit most, including curiosity, availability, and willingness not to know I encourage people to check out skykaveretreats.com.Teach mindfulness without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome. Learn about our Internationally Accredited Certification Program:  https://certify.mindfulnessexercises.com/Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.Hosted by Sean Fargo — a former Buddhist monk, mindfulness teacher, and founder of MindfulnessExercises.com — this podcast explores how mindfulness can support mental health, emotional regulation, trauma sensitivity, chronic pain, leadership, creativity, and meaningful work.Each episode offers a mix of:Practical mindfulness and meditation teachingsConversations with respected meditation teachers, clinicians, authors, and researchersReal-world insights for therapists, coaches, yoga teachers, educators, and caregiversGentle reflections for anyone navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, or changeIf you're interested in:Mindfulness meditation for everyday lifeTrauma-sensitive and compassion-based practicesTeaching mindfulness in an authentic, non-performative wayDeepening your own practice while supporting others…you're in the right place.Learn more at ...

One of the most confusing parts of the healing journey is not knowing whether what you're feeling is a trauma response or the discomfort of actually growing. I've been teaching about this in my group program and I wanted to bring it here too — because getting this wrong is one of the biggest ways we stay stuck. I walk through what a trauma response actually feels like in the body, what a dis-confirming experience is and why it's so important, the five F's of nervous system response, and the three options I always give my clients when it comes to relational triggers. This one is practical, grounded, and something I wish someone had taught me a long time ago. Join Safe to Connect:https://marinayt.com/safe-to-connectWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Our minds and bodies confuse threat with safety really easily.

That's not danger. That's healing.""Fix is trying to be somebody's therapist when they don't need one.

I was so excited for this one, and Nicole did not disappoint. Dr. Nicole LePera, the Holistic Psychologist, trained at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research, is the founder of SelfHealers Circle and the author of three books including the number one New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work. In this conversation, Nicole and I go deep into covert narcissism, how growing up with emotional unavailability shapes every relationship that follows, what re-parenting actually looks like in the body, and why healing is never a straight line from A to B. I had so many personal realisations listening back to this one, about my own relational blueprint, my expectations, and how narcissism in my family has quietly shaped how I show up with others. Connect with Nicole:theholisticpsychologist.comwww.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologistWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"We all become self-focused when we feel threatened — that's survival.

In this conversation, Mussi Diskin and Freddy Mendoza explore the Nurtured Heart Approach through a grounded discussion on parenting, teaching, and discipline. Freddy shares a guiding idea of “softening in order to strengthen,” reflecting on how flexibility and clear boundaries can build more resilient relationships than rigid or punitive control.Together, they examine how fear-based discipline often leads to compliance or rebellion rather than true learning, and how children internalize messages about who they are through the way adults respond to their behavior. Mussi adds reflections on identity formation in children and the long-term impact of how mistakes are handled.Through real-life examples—from curfews to classroom rules to everyday parenting moments—they reframe discipline as teaching rather than punishment, emphasizing connection, clarity, and recognizing a child's inherent greatness even in moments of correction.The episode offers a practical and thoughtful look at how to guide children in ways that build responsibility, trust, and inner strength without shame or fear.Freddy Mendoza's contact information: Freddy@nurturedheartinstitute.comBuildingyourgreatness@gmail.comFor more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at EnergizingHearts@gmail.com Check out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent

This one opened my heart wide open, and I cried with a friend straight after recording it. Chelsea Horton is a somatic coach, educator, and founder of Healing Embodied, where she trains wellness professionals to integrate somatics, creativity, and emotional healing into their work. A former worship leader with a master's in Dance and Movement Therapy, Chelsea went from the most devoted Christian you'd ever meet, engaged to her gay best friend for Jesus, to building a life and practice rooted entirely in embodied truth. Together we explore religious trauma, good girl programming, what embodiment actually means in daily life, and why your emotions are not a problem to solve but raw material for creation. Connect with Chelsea:www.healingembodied.com/connecthttps://www.instagram.com/healing.embodiedWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Embodiment is when you live, breathe, become the thing — instead of just knowing it conceptually.

A Guide to Softening the Inner Critic

At the heart of The 7 No-Nos is learning to notice and release the inner critic, especially judgment, comparison, and the pressure to “fix” ourselves. Kay teaches that these patterns don't just live in the mind, they show up in the body as tension, discomfort, and resistance to movement over time. For your listeners, the conversation could focus on:Softening judgment and self-talk to feel lighter in both body and mindUsing attention as a gentle, body-based practice rather than another thing to “do”Reconnecting with movement and daily life through self-compassion instead of pressureMentioned in this episode:Try WeShape for FREEhttp://weshape.com/podcastHave WeShape build you a better workoutGet 2 Weeks of WeShape for FREEhttp://weshape.com/podcastHave WeShape build you a better workout

What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of at the root cause Why Dr. Reardon focuses on "deprescribing" medications The importance of metabolic health and foundational lifestyle medicine How modern medicine often ignores why symptoms are

"The human body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."

In this episode, I explore a different approach to resilience—one rooted not in pushing harder, but in softening into strength. Many of us were taught that resilience means holding it all together, staying productive, and bouncing back as quickly as possible. But what if true strength isn't found in force? What if resilience is built through self-trust, presence, rest, and the courage to stay connected to yourself during life's hardest moments? Drawing from personal experiences with grief, healing, uncertainty, and recovery, I share how softening helped me cultivate a deeper sense of resilience and inner safety. This episode is an invitation to release the pressure to be unshakable and instead discover the quiet power of self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and beginning again. Inside this episode: Why "pushing through" can disconnect us from ourselves The connection between softness and self-trust How nervous system regulation supports resilience Why rest is a resilience practice A new definition of strength during seasons of uncertainty The four Rs of Resilience Reflective questions to help you reconnect with yourself Whether you are navigating burnout, grief, overwhelm, change, or simply feeling stretched thin by life, this conversation offers a grounded reminder that resilience does not require hardness. You do not need to force your way forward.

Softening the inner critic means gentling the harsh self-judgment that undermines your confidence and well-being. This guide explores recognizing when your inner critic is too loud, cultivating a kinder internal voice, and responding to yourself with warmth instead of criticism. The quiet moment is where you can notice your inner critic speaking and choose to answer it with something gentler instead.

If you've ever felt completely out of control in a relationship — knowing it's wrong, unable to leave, ashamed of yourself for staying — this conversation is going to make you feel far less alone. Marina sits down with Andrea Ashley, host of Adult Child and The Shitshow podcast, who grew up in an alcoholic home, spent her teens in and out of rehabs, got sober at 19, and still found herself at rock bottom at 28 — trapped in trauma bonds she didn't yet have words for. Andrea shares the story she's never fully told before: the relationship that pulled her back in at her most under-resourced, the friendship betrayal that happened at the worst possible moment, and what it actually took to finally get out. This one is raw, real, and deeply human. Connect with Andrea:https://www.instagram.com/adultchildpod/https://www.adultchildpodcast.com/WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"As soon as my fear of abandonment got triggered, I was done.

Softening the inner critic means gentling the harsh self-judgment that undermines your confidence and well-being. This guide explores recognizing when your inner critic is too loud, cultivating a kinder internal voice, and responding to yourself with warmth instead of criticism. The quiet moment is where you can notice your inner critic speaking and choose to answer it with something gentler instead.

If you grew up being the good girl — performing, people pleasing, shrinking yourself to stay safe and loved — this conversation is going to crack something open. Marina sits down with Luci Lampe, trauma-informed sex and relationship coach, four-time author, and award-winning singer-songwriter whose work has been featured in Forbes, the Huffington Post, CBS and Fox. Luci went from pastor's daughter and evangelical good girl to one of the most embodied, unapologetic voices in erotic liberation and spiritual reclamation — and together we trace exactly how that unravelling happened, what shame actually feels like in the body, and what it takes to stop performing and start living from your whole self. Connect with Luci:http://lucilampeofficial.comwww.instagram.com/lucilampehttps://luci-lampe.mykajabi.com/SecureWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"We do this to stay safe and to have connection and belonging.

Heather Gates—strategist, facilitator, host of the Stand in the & podcast, and devoted lover of humans—joins me for a rich, imaginal conversation about alignment, paradox, and what it really looks like to live in service to human flourishing without burning yourself to the ground in the process. We explore how metaphor, somatics, and parts work can help us befriend the many versions of ourselves over a lifetime — what Heather beautifully calls "the kaleidoscope of butterflies" — and how to keep watering the orchid of our lives when we're deep in the not-yet. In this episode, we explore: Honoring sensitivity, big feelings, and "too muchness" through somatics and parts work (IFS) instead of shaming or suppressing them Why we often don't realize we're out of alignment until we finally say yes to what we've been longing to do and feel it "click." Actually flourishing vs. performing flourishing — building a life that feels alive in the body, not just impressive on paper Softening as a spiritual and somatic practice: moving from inner ass-kicking to self-regard, gentleness, and open-handedness Why we need at least one person who can meet us in the "I can't tell which end is up" moments — and what becomes possible when we find them This one is for anyone navigating transition, living between stories, or trying to honor their purpose without abandoning their body. If you're longing for a more humane way to work, lead, and live, this conversation is for you.

Everyone has a critical inner voice. But if you grew up in an environment shaped by chronic relational stress, that voice does not just comment. It runs. It loops. It drives your body into a stress state before you have even finished the thought. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore the inner critic as the next distinguishing characteristic of complex trauma in their ongoing CPT series. This is not a conversation about toxic positivity or affirmations. It is a precise, neuroscience-grounded look at why the inner critic develops, what it is actually doing in the brain and nervous system, and what it genuinely takes to loosen its grip over time. The inner critic is a predictive safety mechanism. It developed to preempt rejection, suppress behaviors that previously led to punishment, and maintain attachment in environments where connection felt conditional. It is not your core self. It is a learned neural pattern rooted in threat detection and self-referential processing that, once formed, keeps running because it worked. Or at least, it worked enough. Jennifer and Elisabeth trace how chronic relational stress reorganizes the default mode network around threat rather than flexible identity development, what the medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex have to do with rumination and shame-based identity loops, and why children with developmental trauma learn to blame themselves for relational failures that were never their fault in the first place. They also go deep on the outward expression of the same pattern: the external critic, the person who micromanages, projects, and stays braced and guarded because the nervous system is still predicting the letdown. Both hosts bring this into their own lived experience with real honesty. Elisabeth talks about the constant body-focused narrator that used to run during recording sessions. Jennifer shares what the inner critic sounds like when she is launching something new and putting her voice out into the world. Neither of them is pretending it is gone. They are showing what it looks like when it no longer runs the show. The episode closes with practical, nervous system-grounded pathways for working with the inner critic, including why celebration and reward matter more than positive thinking, how oxytocin-mediated safety gradually quiets social threat monitoring, and why the most important move is not arguing with the voice but interrupting the loop at the body level first. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why the inner critic is a predictive nervous system adaptation, not a reflection of truth or identity How chronic relational stress reorganizes the default mode network around threat and self-monitoring What the medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex have to do with rumination and the inner critic Why children with developmental trauma internalize relational failures as personal flaws How perfectionism, body criticism, and post-performance crashes are all outputs of the same underlying pattern What the external critic is, why it always coexists with a loud inner critic, and how to recognize it in yourself Why you cannot think your way out of the inner critic loop and what actually interrupts it How the ventral striatum and reward signaling can be used to reinforce new behaviors and self-expression Why oxytocin-mediated safety, through connection, touch, nature, and sensory pleasure, reduces the social threat driving the critic What post-traumatic growth actually looks like in relation to the inner critic: not eliminating it, but expanding capacity beyond it Chapter Markers 0:00 - The Inner Critic as a Distinguishing Characteristic of Complex Trauma 0:58 - Welcome: What the Inner Critic Actually Is 1:49 - Jennifer and Elisabeth Share Their Own Inner Critic Experiences 4:36 - Why This Matters: Recognizing Complex Trauma in the Patterns 5:33 - The Difference Between a Normal Inner Critic and a Trauma-Amplified One 7:11 - The Neuro Biology: How the Inner Critic Develops as a Protective Pattern 8:28 - How Authenticity Becomes a Threat Signal 10:38 - The Default Mode Network and Self-Referential Rumination 13:52 - What the Growth Edge Actually Feels Like in Practice 17:05 - The Brain Science: The Default Mode Network, Medial PFC, and Posterior Cingulate 19:22 - Why Developmental Trauma Teaches Children to Blame Themselves 21:10 - How to Interrupt the Loop: Sensory Anchoring, Movement, and Tools 23:18 - Working With State to Shift the Story 24:51 - Perfectionism as an Output of the Inner Critic 28:11 - Why We Stay Stuck in the Loop Even When We Know Better 29:12 - The Ventral Striatum, Reward Signaling, and Why Celebrating Small Wins Matters 35:57 - Oxytocin, Social Safety, and Softening the Hypervigilance 39:49 - The External Critic: When the Inner Voice Gets Projected Outward 43:03 - Post-Traumatic Growth and the Inner Critic: What Actually Changes Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics    Join us inside Rewire: This is where you actually experience the practices Jennifer and Elisabeth talk about on the podcast that brought us freedom, self-attunement, a new relationship with food and our body.  rewiretrial.com   Explore the neurosomatics of boundaries: boundaryrewire.com   Introduction to neurosomatics for practitioners, coaches and therapists - The NSI foundations Bundle: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/workshops/   Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence: https://stan.store/illuminated   Join Jennifer on Sacred Synapse to explore the intersection of neurosomatics and Psychedelic neuroscience: https://www.youtube.com/@sacredsynapse-23   Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors:  FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

We delve deep into the practice of mindfulness, encouraging you to slow down and return to a tranquil inner space without the pressure to fix or change anything about yourself in this moment. It's a gentle invitation to allow your body and mind the grace to simply be.Beginning with a calming exercise, I ask you to settle into your space, encouraging physical relaxation by dropping your shoulders and unclenching your jaw. As we take a collective deep breath in through the nose and release it slowly, I emphasize the importance of this breathing pattern as a foundation for the meditative practice we are about to engage in. The focus is on awareness and acceptance, acknowledging that it's completely normal for the mind to wander — a natural part of the meditation process. Each time you bring your attention back to your breath, you're practicing mindfulness and nurturing your inner calm.As we explore the sensations in the body, I encourage you to bring awareness to various parts — from the top of your head down to your feet. This body scan is about tuning into your physical sensations without the need for judgment or alteration. I prompt listeners to notice areas of tension or discomfort and kindly invite them to soften. The aim here is to recognize the body's inherent capacity for relaxation when we stop pushing so hard.#AnxietyRelief #Mindfulness #GuidedMeditation #BodyScan #StressManagement #MentalHealthMatters #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #SelfCompassion #InnerPeace #Calm #Wellness #SelfCare #MentalHealthAwareness #BreathingExercises #Grounding #HolisticHealth #Relaxation #Affirmations #NervousSystemRegulation #Healing #MindfulLiving #PeaceOfMind #StressFree #SelfLove #MeditationPractice #MentalWellBeing #SomaticHealing #Rest #Softening #Tranquility #SlowDown #Presence #EmotionalWellness #HealthAndWellness #DailyCalm #MentalClarity #AnxietySupport #OvercomingAnxiety #InnerCalm #Zen #Mindset #PositiveAffirmations #QuietTheMind #Breathe #WellnessJourney #Spirituality #PersonalDevelopment #MeditationTime #BeWellSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if you gave yourself permission to pause… without needing to earn it first? So many of us carry the belief that we always need to be doing, fixing, striving, or proving something. Even during rest, our minds keep racing and our bodies stay braced for what's next. But living in constant motion can leave you disconnected from yourself, exhausted in your body, and craving a moment of softness. This guided meditation is an invitation to slow down, release the pressure to perform, and remember that your worth is not tied to productivity. You don't need to change anything in this moment. You simply get to be here. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL: Feel more grounded, calm, and present in your body Release tension and soften the need to constantly "do" Reconnect with the idea that rest is allowed and safe Leave with a greater sense of peace, softness, and self-compassion Take this breath, this pause, this moment… and let yourself remember: just being is enough.

Your work is not to get rid of it. It's to increase your tolerance for that discomfort — and then behave differently.""Only a child can be abandoned. When you remember that in your mind, it's not enough — because your body is still feeling it.

In this video, I do a deep dive into my 9 biggest lessons in eating disorder recovery. I explore: - 1. The importance of holding onto hope and pursuing different recovery routes, leaning into self-trust. 2. Symptoms work might need to happen first, to get out of restriction and all the mental and physical consequences of this. 3. The value of regular eating and balanced meals. 4. Reintroducing forbidden foods with safety and structure. 5. Dealing with the roots of the problem and processing emotional issues and trauma. 6. Softening the inner critic and working to build self-compassion. 7. Building robust body image. 8. The importance of healthy relationships. 9. Sculpting a life that is fulfiling and purposeful, beyond the eating disorder.

If I told you I'm a nurse, you know you could come to me for health advice.  If I told you I'm a dentist, you know you could come to me for your teeth.  If I told you I'm an accountant, you know you could come to me for your taxes.  If I told you I'm a banker, you know you could come to me for a loan.  If I told you I'm a travel agent, you know you could come to me for your vacation plans.  Who I tell you that I am directly tells you what could expect of me. So, when God tells us he is something specific, we know specifically what we can come to him for.  This is what we're learning in the names of God. How sweet for God to tell us he is our HEALER.  What do you come to a healer for?  HEALING, my friend.  Yes, healing of your body – but more – healing of your entire being. Restoration of what has been broken. A healed mind that is damaged. Renewed peace where anxiety has taken root. Mending of strained relationships. Softening of a hardened heart. Comfort for a hurting heart. This is what God can heal – Your body, your heart, your mind, your family, your relationships, your circumstances.  God is the great healer, you can call him Yahweh Rapha. Exodus 15:26, God announces to his people, “For I am the LORD who heals you.”  LORD is in all caps so we know the original spoken word of God was his name YHWH, and heals is Rapha.  In Hebrew, I am Yahweh Rapha. Rapha means to heal, restore, make whole and repair.  If our God is Yahweh Rapha, we know we can come to him for healing, restoration, wholeness and repair in every way. Notice precisely where God speaks these words, because it's only spoken one time in scripture, then displayed hundreds of times in action. Exodus 15 comes at a critical time for God's people, the Israelites.  They have been rescued from captivity in Egypt and set free.  They have been supernaturally protected and guided right through the parting of the Red Sea, then turned around and watched their enemies be swallowed by the sea.  And now they're walking through an unknown wilderness and dying of thirst.  They have gone 3 days without water.  This is the limit of a human body in these harsh, hot conditions. They finally find a small body of water, in this desert, but can you believe the water is bitter and undrinkable.  Moses seeks God for help and God gives Moses a solution that turns the bitter water sweet, and the people are saved by having water to drink in their wilderness.  And THIS is exactly where God introduces himself as Yahweh Rapha, the Lord who heals you.  Here where God turned what was unbearably bitter into sweetness to not only satisfy but to save.  God restored what had been corrupted.  The water was corrupted with bitterness, but he restored it to sweetness with his healing touch. This is where Yahweh Rapha meets us – in the bitterness we find unbearable, and he turns it sweet. Oh what a threat bitterness was to God's people there in the wilderness – and what a threat bitterness continues to be for us, his girls on our own journeys.  Life has a way of being bitter sometimes.  It stings.  It stinks.  It disappoints.  And through it all, our hearts grow hardened, we become guarded, and bitterness creeps in.  Yahweh Rapha wants to heal that! Now, God reveals specifically how this healing is going to take place.  Back up and read the beginning of Exodus 15:26, “IF YOU will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, THEN I WILL not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”  God is saying your healing will not come through a transaction, but through a relationship with me.  A relationship where we have a role and he has a role.  Our role is trust and obey him – his role is to bring healing. Walk with God and you will live different.  Live different and you will be healed.  Healed of what?  The very things that threaten your being with bitterness.  We're talking your entire body, but also those emotional wounds, your past trauma, your anxiety, your broken identity, your shame, your regret …. Anything that has become bitter in you, Yahweh Rapha restores. God could have given his people new water there in the wilderness.  He could have rained down water from heaven at that very moment.  He could have supernaturally quenched their thirst in some other unfathomable manner.  But that's not what God did.  God addressed what was bitter and he healed it.  He changed the nature of the water and transformed it from bitter to sweet.  And if God can do that with a pond of nasty water in a wilderness, don't you know he can do that with your heart, with your mind, with your family and with every other threat of bitterness in your life? Yes, God could bring something totally new, but Yahweh Rapha heals what already is and transforms the existing to health again. My friend, where has life turned bitter for you?  Where have you swallowed a hard pill and don't understand why it has to be this way?  Where have you settled into dysfunction or disappointment, all while a little piece of you is dying?  Yahweh Rapha wants to heal that bitterness for you.  He wants to bring a sweetness back to your life.  That's what he does, so now you know that's what you can call on him for. God, heal your girls.  Heal our wounds.  Heal our brokenness.  Heal our bodies.  Heal our minds.  Heal our families.  Bring a sweetness back to what has grown bitter. Let me show you 3 specific places the word rapha is used in scripture so we can see the work of our Yahweh Rapha. • Psalm 147:3, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”  The Hebrew word for heal here is rapha.  This is literally the work of Yahweh Rapha, healing those broken hearts and bandaging up the wounds of life hitting hard.  He wants to do that for you. • Hosea 14:4, The LORD says, “Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever.”  Again, this word translated heal here is rapha.  The work of Yahweh Rapha is to heal us of every way we have struggled to be faithful.  Of every wayward wandering, God heals us.  His love meets us right where we are and changes that bitter root within us to be sweet.  And guess what, God isn't angry about the work he does in you either.  Yahweh Rapha loves to heal you and restore you and make you right again. • In 2 Kings 20, we read about King Hezekiah becoming deathly ill.  God has told him to get ready because he is for sure dying and will not recover.  But Hezekiah prays and says, “Remember, O LORD, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly, always doing what pleases you.”  Hezekiah breaks down and cries, begging God.  And this is wild, but check it out – Verse 5, God then says, “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.  I will heal (rapha) you, and 3 days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.  I will add 15 years to your life!”  Verse 7, “Hezekiah recovered!”  This is the miraculous healing work of Yahweh Rapha, the Lord who heals you. Let's be clear, if Yahweh Rapha can do that for King Hezekiah, a man most definitely dying, then Yahweh Rapha can do that for you too.  If you are sick, what should you do?  ASK HIM!  Just as Hezekiah did.  Bring your real emotion, your honest plea and ask for the healing touch of Yahweh Rapha. He is the LORD who restores every part of you – spirit, soul, body, family, and everything surrounding you.  Nothing stays broken in his hands.  He uses it for good.  He restores bitterness to sweetness.  He adds life. While we only see God speak of being Yahweh Rapha one time in scripture, we see proof of his healing power throughout the Bible, in the testimonies of real lives all around us, and I bet even in your own life.  Has Yahweh Rapha done his healing work in your body – in your mind – in your family – in your circumstances?  Has he turned something bitter to absolute sweetness for you?  Look closely, you will see the fingerprints of Yahweh Rapha – he is still working. And no doubt, he's not done working.  He still brings healing. If you need healing in your life in any way, call on him by name.  Yahweh Rapha, I now know what you do, so I know what call on you for and what to trust you with.  Here's my brokenness, here's my sickness, here's my disappointment, here's every bitter thing in my life – will you touch me with your sweet healing?

Grief doesn't just live in the mind…it settles into the body, the breath, the chest…and here, you don't have to carry it alone.This is not about fixing anything. It's about resting. Softening. Allowing your body to release, even just a little. As you relax, you may begin to notice where grief lives within you…and gently, without judgment, let it be held.You don't need to be strong here. You don't need to hold it together. Just breathe… and let your body hear this: you are safe… you can rest.As the world quiets around you, you're given permission to let go, to be supported, and to drift into a deeper state of calm, comfort, and healing sleep.

If you're a woman over 35 and you've been feeling more triggered, more exhausted, less tolerant of the things you used to just push through — this episode is going to change how you understand yourself.I'm joined by Natasha Zajmalowskii, a naturopathic doctor and Menopause Society certified practitioner with over 24 years of clinical experience, and this conversation genuinely blew my mind. We talk about what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system during perimenopause and menopause — and why it's not falling apart, it's transforming.We go deep on the hormonal roots of emotional dysregulation, why your window of tolerance narrows so dramatically, and what it means that your fawning response is finally breaking down. We talk about familiar safety versus embodied safety, why your old trauma is surfacing so intensely right now, and what "issues in your tissues" actually means at a physiological level.Natasha also shares her framework called Metamorphosis — the idea that perimenopause is the chrysalis stage, where the old structure has to come apart before something new and more powerful can be built. And we talk about puberty 2.0, the nervous system under renovation, entrainment, and why routine might be the most underrated medicine for women in midlife.The Unburdened Heart Program: https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heart Connect with Natasha:www.proactive-healthcare.comwww.menomorphosis.cawww.instagram.com/drnatashazndWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"A dysregulated nervous system cannot hold health.

There's a kind of safety that doesn't actually feel safe — and most of us have been living inside it our whole lives.In this episode, I'm sharing something I've been sitting with for a while. Something personal and a little uncomfortable to say out loud: that even as someone who teaches nervous system healing, I spent years outsourcing my sense of safety to things outside myself — my marriage, my business, my Instagram following, my sense of being "put together." And when all of it fell apart at once, I had to finally learn the difference between familiar safety and embodied safety.Familiar safety is predictable. It's the jungle where you know exactly where the tiger hides. It's people-pleasing, perfectionism, staying small, tolerating relationships where you never feel chosen — not because it feels good, but because at least you know the terrain. Your nervous system has mapped every inch of it. And that map feels like control.Embodied safety is something else entirely. It's not a permanent state of calm. It's presence. It's the capacity to be with whatever arises in you — the sadness, the fear, the grief — without running from it or being swallowed by it. It's the difference between a river that flows through you and a flood that takes you under.This episode is honest, a little messy, and very real. Which feels right — because that's exactly what this work actually looks like from the inside.The Unburdened Heart Program: https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heart WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"When you're disconnected from your own body, from your desires, your needs, your emotions — it's like a shell of you connecting to someone else.

And it sucks.""Every concept of safety I'd ever clung to — my marriage, my business, my follower count — has been taken away overnight. And I had to find out what was left when none of it was there.""Embodied safety doesn't mean you constantly feel ease and calm. It means you're present with yourself — and when you leave, you come back.""Moving into deep self-trust and inner safety is hard as hell. It's not 'I love and trust myself.' It's crying.

Some may steam it. Some may make it into tea. Some may simply sit with it and marvel.California poppy is known as an herb of relaxation—supporting the nervous system, inviting rest, and helping both children and adults settle into sleep. So we started wondering: what might this plant teach us about how we hold stress… and how we let it go?In this episode of #Napcast, Nick and Mike turn toward California poppy as a guide—not just for understanding plants, but for rethinking how we show up with children while using the 6 R's ( relationship, respect, responsibility, reciprocity, relevance, and representation).Together, we explore the overstimulation of the modern classroom. The anxiety that lives in rushed transitions and rigid routines. The subtle ways urgency shows up in our tone, our timing, our expectations. And what it might mean to move differently—to soften, to slow down, and to create environments that help children settle, not just comply.This conversation is an invitation to notice. To breathe. To come back into the body.Join us as we reflect on supporting children through big feelings, easing the tension we carry as educators, and creating classrooms that soothe instead of overwhelm.Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Baby Botanicals: Peekaboo, Flowers! by author & illustrator Jillian MiaoHave You Ever Seen a Flower? by author & illustrator Shawn HarrisInstagram Account: @xalishmedicines and their post on California Poppy - https://www.instagram.com/p/DL5LDxQRcym/Interested in bringing Nick and Mike to your community?

If you fixate on people, partners, work, or goals — if something gets under your skin and won't let go — this episode is for you.What most people call desperation or clinginess is actually your nervous system trying to finish something it never got to complete. In this episode, I'm getting personal about my own patterns with fixation, codependency, and disorganised attachment — and I'm breaking down exactly what's happening in your body and your inner child when you zero in on someone or something with that aching, urgent need.We talk about why uncertainty feels so unbearable when you've grown up in an environment that was never truly safe. Why anxious attachment pulls you toward people, and avoidant attachment pulls you toward goals. And what it actually means to complete the cycle — not by finally getting the love you were chasing, but by learning to meet that child part of you where she actually is.This isn't about willpower or mindset. It's about understanding that the part of you that fixates isn't broken — she's been trying to survive.I share the three things that genuinely help: self-compassion (not the fluffy kind), sitting with the incomplete emotions underneath the fixation, and learning how to ask for your needs to be met — from your adult self, not your wounded one.The Unburdened Heart Program: https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heartWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Your nervous system is trying to complete a cycle.

Shame is one of the most powerful and misunderstood forces shaping our lives. In this deeply insightful conversation, I sit down with author, counselor, and teacher David Bedrick to explore what it truly means to “unshame” ourselves. Rather than seeing our struggles as problems to fix, David invites us to view them as doorways into deeper self-awareness, compassion, and connection.We talk about how shame forms in childhood, why traditional self-improvement approaches often reinforce it, and how embodied awareness can help us transform suffering into meaningful growth. David shares his personal journey, the philosophy behind his work at the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, and practical reflections on how we can begin to relate differently to our inner critic, our pain, and the parts of ourselves we've learned to hide.This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that healing doesn't come from becoming someone new. It comes from learning to meet ourselves — exactly as we are — with curiosity, dignity, and care.Connect with David:Order The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DBedrickPsychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/contributors/david-bedrick-jd-dipl-pwWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Shame is not just an emotion — it's an entire way we've been taught to relate to ourselves.”“Unshaming is not about getting rid of pain.

Alignment can feel unfamiliar when belonging has required performance and pressure. In this episode, we name the quiet shift into steadiness — where you stop scanning, stop over-explaining, and begin arriving as yourself.Belonging can look normal from the outside and still feel like work on the inside.For many high-capacity humans, “being included” has quietly come with conditions. Not explicit rules. Not dramatic rejection. Just the ongoing internal negotiation:• Scanning the room• Adjusting tone• Softening edges• Explaining a little more than necessary• Filling silence before it fills youNothing looks wrong.But something in you is working.This episode explores what begins to shift when that negotiation slows down.Renewed Momentum is not adrenaline.It's steadiness.It's what happens when identity stops bracing — and your nervous system realizes it no longer has to bargain for safety.And at first, that can feel unfamiliar.Because when performance decreases, adrenaline decreases.And we can mistake the absence of activation for the absence of connection.But they are not the same.We name the questions most capable adults don't say out loud:• If I stop performing, will the system punish me?• Will I become less central?• What if I'm the only one who changes?• What if I stop carrying and no one picks it up?These are not irrational fears.Many systems reward performance.Identity-Level Recalibration is not mindset work.It is not behavior modification.It is not another productivity strategy.It is root-level recalibration.Because identity precedes behavior.When identity stabilizes:• Social vigilance reduces• Over-explaining softens• Presence replaces performance• Depth increases without forceWhen one nervous system steadies, rooms reorganize.Not perfectly.Not overnight.But slowly.This is lighter.And it's sustainable.Today's Micro RecalibrationIn your next relational space:• Notice one moment where you would normally perform — explain, smooth, rescue, impress• Say one sentence less• Breathe once• Let your presence be enoughNotice what happens.Not outside first.Inside.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
