This episode dives into one of our society's biggest problems, overstimulation, and how Sound Baths can unintentionally do harm without proper, trauma-informed training. Our clients are arriving to sessions already overloaded with sensory input, notifications, alerts, screens, traffic, stress, and chronic demands. Loud or chaotic Sound Baths can trigger an already overstimulated nervous system.  In this episode, Niajae breaks down what overstimulation is, why it matters, and how certain bowl-playing techniques can unintentionally trigger anxiety, dysregulation, or even PTSD when we're not trauma-informed. She shares research, real BioWell data from Bliss Wellness Studio, and practical steps for creating safe, regulating Sound Baths in today's world. This episode is essential for any sound healer, practitioner, or wellness professional who wants to bring integrity, nervous system literacy, and trauma-informed care to their work. Key Takeaways Society is overstimulated, and Sound Baths must adapt. Playing too loud or high pitches can unintentionally harm or activate clients. Trauma-informed training is not optional; it's the industry standard. BioWell data shows most people's energy is operating in overdrive. Softness, pacing, and intentional technique create the safest healing space.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I'm joined by the radiant Dr. Aumatma. Her work bridges science and spirit, helping women remember the innate wisdom of their bodies. A naturopathic doctor with a specialty in endocrinology and fertility, she guides women to reconnect with the intelligence of their hormones, their womb, and their creative life force.In this conversation, we unravel what it means to listen deeper instead of pushing harder. We speak about joy as medicine, the body's natural rhythm, and how true fertility, whether for a child, a vision, or a new season of life, begins with receptivity. We talk about slowing down, removing pressure, and returning to the feminine way of creating, through softness, presence, and trust in the body's wisdom.Episode Summary In this episode, Dr. Aumatma and I walk through her journey into body wisdom, fertility, and feminine restoration. From years in clinical practice to realizing that women do not simply need protocols but presence, safety, and joy, she reveals how true creation begins when we stop forcing and start listening. We speak about fertility beyond making babies, the power of slowing down, and how the feminine thrives in receptivity, not control. Dr. Aumatma shares how she helps women and couples reconnect to their natural rhythms, release pressure, and remember that the body already knows how to heal. Her work invites us back to softness, intuition, and the quiet intelligence that lives beneath all doing.Key Takeaways A Woman Who Listens WithinWhen you slow down enough to hear your body, you stop chasing what was never lost. You become attuned, steady, and deeply alive. Creation flows from fullness, not from striving.The Body Already KnowsYour body carries its own intelligence. When you stop overriding it with pressure and return to presence, balance restores itself. Healing begins in the quiet spaces where you listen instead of force.Fertility Is More Than Making LifeIt is the art of receiving, of allowing what wants to grow to move through you. Whether that is a child, a vision, or a new version of yourself, the energy is the same - life meeting openness.Softness Regulates PowerWhen you release the need to control, your energy expands. Softness is not passive, it is intelligent. It knows when to act and when to rest.Listening Is the MedicineNot every answer comes through thought. Some arrive through stillness, breath, and the slow remembering that your body has always been on your side.Resources and Links

I am so EXCITED to sit down with the incredible Samantha Bove!! This conversation went in so many beautiful directions, and honestly, I feel like it's one of those episodes you're going to want to listen to twice.We talk about everything — body awareness, softening, feminine energy, intuition — all the things. Samantha shares her journey into Reiki (which cracked her open in the most unexpected way), how Mary Magdalene showed up in her life, and what it actually looks like to step into your “inner queen” in real life, not just online.We also get into the messy parts… the in-between seasons, leaving relationships that aren't aligned anymore, that weird space where you know it's not right but you're terrified to say it out loud. Samantha is so honest about the courage it took to walk away from a relationship that looked “fine,” and how choosing herself opened the door to the love she's in now.There are so many mic-drop moments in here around self-love, healing, and what it feels like when you finally stop shrinking. And truly — if you're calling in a new chapter, trying to trust your intuition, or learning how to lead with your heart again, this episode will meet you right where you're at.I cannot wait for you to hear this one. It's honest, it's expansive, it's a little messy in the best way… and it's really, really beautiful.

In this episode, Kreed explores the concept of 'hardened hearts'—the emotional armor we build to protect ourselves from pain and the impact it has on our relationships. Through personal anecdotes and insights, she discusses how this protective mechanism can lead to estrangement and disconnection, while also emphasizing the importance of vulnerability and the courage it takes to open our hearts again. The episode encourages listeners to recognize their own protective instincts and to approach healing with compassion and understanding.Takeaways- A hardened heart forms as a protective mechanism.- Softness and vulnerability are signs of courage, not weakness.- Recognizing protector parts can help in understanding estranged loved ones.- Love and pain share the same doorway; closing one closes both.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: https://theestrangedheart.com/membershipFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

In this episode, we explore the quiet underrated and often misunderstood power of softness... not as weakness but as one of the greatest strengths we can embody. Drawing on themes that emerged during my Bali Radiance Retreat, we dive into what it really means to soften in a world that often asks us to harden, to armour up, to stay closed and unshakable.

Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Softness is a strength Hello my love, welcome back to the Grow Through It Podcast with me Phi. I'm back from Bali where I recently ran my Radiance Retreat hence why softness actually has been on my mind a lot lately. It was a huge theme that surfaced during the recent retreat how gentleness, presence, and the ability to soften are not weaknesses, but deep forms of strength. As we explored this on retreat I shared with the beautiful women the realisation that softness doesn't exist without shadow: the parts of ourselves we hide, suppress like our fears and parts of us, our feelings that we deem as too much or perhaps negative. The world teaches us to harden and armour up Today, I want to talk about both: how softness and shadow live and dance together, and how embracing both can lead to real growth, presence, and connection. We'll dive into what it means to soften in the face of life's challenges, to meet our shadows with curiosity and care and to embody strength that is tender yet deeply powerful. For anyone listening, I'll be diving even deeper into softness and shadow in Flow (luxury feminine self care) Vietnam Retreat next year at the end of May 2026launching very soon, so DM me for more info. Let's get into it. We all harden at some point in our lives, maybe you are still hard and it's because you learnt to be this way. The world teaches us to harden. To brace. To armour up. We tighten our shoulders against bad news. We build walls around our hearts after heartbreak. We try to be unshakable in a time that keeps shaking us. While that armor can protect us, it also traps us. We stop feeling the sun on our skin. We stop noticing the rhythm and depth of our own breath. We hesitate to be vulnerable with others, afraid they might hurt us or break our hearts and ironically, it is that very fear that can keep love from flowing in at all. Softness is like water Softening is not about losing strength. It's about remembering that gentleness is a kind of strength. It means letting the body breathe again. It means letting your jaw unclench, your shoulders drop, your grip relax. Think of it like flow and water. Water flows around obstacles but it shapes mountains. Softening isn't becoming less. You become vast: spacious enough to hold both strength and surrender, both clarity and compassion. Softening is power and it's something I return to time and time again working with clients: strength isn't hardening after you perceive the world or someone or something wrongs you or hurts you… strength is in healing yet remaining true to your nature and if you're listening to this I have a feeling your nature is loving, kind and respectful. It's the part of you that keeps choosing softness, even after life gives you every reason to close. Reclaiming softness as the feminine Softness is not your weakness. it's your essence. It's your truth. No wound, no betrayal, no disappointment can take that away from you…unless you let it. Softness doesn't erase the hurt; it simply gives our hearts permission to move through it, to hold both the pain and the possibility of joy. Softness is often seen as a gentle, almost fragile quality but for women, it's deeply resonant because it's about reclaiming something that society frequently asks us to suppress. From a young age,

The National Football League has added "male cheerleaders" to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It's not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male.

When most women think of feminine energy, they think of letting go, surrendering, being led.But what MOST women don't realise this: You CANNOT fully relax, surrender, or feel safe in your feminine without boundaries.Boundaries are not walls. Boundaries are the container that let you feel safe enough to soften.They are the high standards that create space for intimacy, for respect, for trust, and for that queen-level energy you desire in your relationship.In this episode, I'm breaking down:✨ The biggest misconception about feminine energy and why boundaries are essential to it✨ How boundaries create the safety required to let go, receive, and be fully supported✨ The difference between non-negotiables and personal boundaries - and why you need both✨ How to communicate your standards from a grounded, feminine place (without ultimatums)✨ Why being “high maintenance” is actually the most magnetic energy you can bring into your relationshipBoundaries are not about controlling others. They are about honouring yourself - and inviting others to meet you there.Because when you know your standards, when you own your non-negotiables, when you uphold your boundaries with love… that's when you get to receive the queen treatment you truly desire.And if this episode is speaking to you, this is exactly the work I go deep on inside my 1:1 Feminine Embodiment & Relationship Coaching.Right now, I'm opening five exclusive case study spots at 50% off my full rate.

"Feel and timing” is a mysterious concept for many riders because no one ever explains what it actually is, or how to grow it. In this episode, Jake breaks it down into what he calls the "four-factor awareness model" — Softness, Acceptance, Balance, Rhythm (SABR). These four layers act like tumblers on a combination lock: at first you just reward basic physical compliance, then mental relaxation, then true balance, and finally rhythm as the capstone. SABR gives you a roadmap, both for teaching any maneuver and refining your own feel in the saddle. If you've ever wondered how expert trainers seem to “just know,” this episode decodes the structure behind that awareness.

“Find strong men to hang out with who you can feed off of and who will challenge you and encourage you in the best possible way.”  Strength is more than muscle—it's discipline, clarity, and the refusal to settle into weakness. When men trade ambition for excuses, or numb themselves with comfort and distraction, they lose the ability to protect, to provide, and to lead. Softness might feel easier in the moment, but it leaves men exposed.  Jake Giffin lays it out: identity shapes destiny. Men who see themselves only as sinners or victims stay stuck in cycles of anger, fear, and insecurity. But when they root their lives in strength and conviction, they become the men their families and communities can trust. He shares how proximity—both to God and to other strong men—defines the path forward.  Jake Giffin is a men's coach and business leader who blends biblical wisdom with practical psychology. His mission is to call men out of weakness, push them toward strength, and remind them that soft men are always targets.  Learn more & connect:   https://www.jakegiffin.com/  Also in this episode:  • Galatians, chapter 5 (Bible)  • John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion  • Jeff Hopf's poem: Strong Men Create Good Times, Good Times Create Weak Men, Weak Men Create Hard Times  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

In this guided meditation with poet and teacher Henry Shukman, learn how allowing discomfort, rather than resisting it, can open the door to greater calm and self-compassion.How To Do This Practice:  Find a Comfortable Position: Sit comfortably, either upright with your head balanced or reclining, and relax your jaw, shoulders, and hands. Invite Warmth and Softness into the Body: Gently bring awareness to different parts of your body—chest, belly, seat, legs, and feet. Imagine a gentle sweep of rest and quiet spreading through you, like a soft, warm wave. Notice Any Unease Without Trying to Change It: See if you can detect any subtle unease or restlessness. Instead of pushing it away, simply acknowledge it. Soften and Warm the Whole Torso: Move your awareness to the shoulders, sides, back, chest, and belly. Imagine each area softening like warm wax. Let this warmth frame your torso, surrounding even areas of tension or discomfort. Hold What You Find in Loving Awareness: Rather than trying to “fix” or remove unease, allow it to be held by your warmth and softness.  Return Gently: When you feel ready, slowly bring small movements back into your body. Open your eyes and notice your surroundings, carrying a sense of warmth and acceptance with you.

This episode explores the powerful difference between living from softness and reacting from survival. While we may long for peaceful, supportive surroundings, life doesn't always cooperate. So how do we stay grounded and open when the world around us feels loud, rushed, or harsh? Through reflection and practical tools, we'll look at how to generate calm, clarity, and love from within—regardless of our circumstances. Because softness isn't about weakness—it's about strength rooted in presence, gratitude, and trust. When we stop resisting life and start responding with awareness, we create space for more peace, possibility, and joy.

Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

After a fast-paced Gemini season filled with expansion, new experiences, and big lessons, I'm feeling the soft, grounding energy of Cancer season settling in. In this episode, I share what came through for me over the last few weeks—honoring my frequency, navigating self-doubt, bumping into limits around abundance—and how I'm now embracing restoration, nourishment, and emotional safety. Cancer season invites us to come home to ourselves, to slow down, and to remember that true abundance often lives in the quiet moments. If you're feeling the shift too, this episode will help you soften into it.Sacred Summer School + Wild Minds - www.wildmindsmanifest.comThe Manifestation Portal - https://mollylovesmornings.substack.comInstagram - @mollylovesmornings

Elle Rowley is a woman on a mission to change the perception of motherhood. For someone who believes motherhood gave her the confidence to do more and be more in life, she wants to help others begin to view motherhood as transformative instead of something to be endured. On this week's episode, we talk with Elle about why she believes motherhood is a hero's journey—one absolutely worth taking.   “[Motherhood] tests every part of you but on the other side of that is transformation. It is finding yourself, it is knowing yourself. That archetype is a Christ archetype. It is service. It is losing yourself and finding it.”   3:12- Potential Unlocked 7:15- Softness, Humility and Open-Heartedness 13:35- Combatting Feelings of Inadequacy 16:12- Maiden, Mother, and Matriarch 21:37- Experiencing Our Own Paths 24:37- Nothing Too Precious 28:16- Losing Your Life 32:38- “Bring the Baby” 39:58- Honoring Our Elders 44:08- Grandma Moses 49:49- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

There comes a time in every woman's life where the version of her that built everything no longer fits. She doesn't recognize herself anymore. She's brand new. And that scares the hell out of her. In today's episode, we're talking about the sacred art of reinvention - but the messy, unglamorous middle part that can make you feel like you've lost your mind. The in-between, where you're not who you were, but you're still figuring out who you want to be. It's the part nobody else talks about, but it's also the part where the magic unfolds. We're talking soft power. Softness as strategy. And what it looks like to quietly become that bitch. Grab a notebook for this one, I'm sharing lots of journal prompts + things to think about!
