Sarah shares an episode from a podcast (and therapist) she'd like to introduce you to: Therapists Unchained with Sivie Suckerman  In this episode of Therapists Unchained, Sivie interviews Sharon Harper, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of the Therapist Resource Institute (TRI). The conversation explores the necessity of reclaiming professional autonomy and building sustainable careers through authentic human connection and systemic advocacy, while also delving into the Therapist Resource Institute as a national platform designed to unify mental health professionals across all licenses and career stages. Harper explains that she created the organization to combat the fragmentation of the field and the growing influence of venture-backed tech platforms that often exploit clinician labor and client data. TRI is a supportive professional community that offers practical tools, such as referral networks and business vetting, while aiming to provide a collective political voice through future lobbying efforts.

In today's episode, Anietie Tia Ukpe-Wallace, a pelvic health physical therapist and author of Tending to Your Womb, shares how relocating from Northern California to Lisbon, Portugal will shape her continued work virtually and internationally. She recounts chronic infections and pelvic pain that led her to pelvic health, then details her first pregnancy in 2011 complicated by fibroids and ending in a 20-week loss, followed by a second loss six months later. She explains how grief can manifest physically through posture, breathing, reduced movement, nervous system effects, and pelvic floor tension, and defines pelvic floor therapy's functions and common symptoms. Wallace describes how pelvic therapy after loss may begin with external work (breath, abdominal touch/massage, education) before any internal exam, emphasizes finding therapists comfortable with loss, and discusses surgery, therapy, and practices that supported her later pregnancy and ongoing anxiety. She highlights body literacy as a core takeaway from her book and shares where to buy it and how to connect with her and her retreats.   Key Takeaway: Body Literacy The core mission of her book, Tending to Your Womb, is to cultivate body literacy—empowering individuals to deeply understand, listen to, and advocate for their own reproductive and pelvic health. Connect & Learn More: Listeners can purchase Tending to Your Womb through major book retailers and connect with Anietie online to learn more about her virtual pelvic health consulting and upcoming international wellness retreats.

This Sunday closes out our August celebration series, and I get to preach! We will return to our study in Matthew's Gospel next week. This week we will focus our attention on Paul's letter, 1 Thessalonians. This was the focus of our Leadership Retreat last weekend, and I think it will be important for the whole church to hear what your Leaders and CG Leaders are focused on as we look to the year ahead.The theme for this Sunday is Tending the Vine, from 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13. There are lots of really important things that we done in church that build a good trellis, structures and systems to make sure good work happens. Ultimately, though, the work of ministry is vine work. As 1 Corinthians 3 says, we plant and water, but only God gives the growth. This Sunday we will see the passion and care Paul had for the believers in Thessalonica and how that can help shape our understanding of God's calling on us as a church.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media⁠Website⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Vimeo⁠⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠⁠Apple App Store⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Google Play Store⁠⁠

How is it with your soul?It's probably not a question anyone else will ask you today.But it may be one of the most important questions you can ask yourself.In this reflection on the Psalms, John Ortberg draws from Renovation of the Heart to explore what the soul actually is and why its health affects everything else in our lives.Dallas Willard describes the soul as an inner stream of water that brings strength, direction, and harmony to the rest of our being.That's why the Psalms repeatedly use the language of water:“My soul thirsts for You.”“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You.”“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.”John then tells the story of a beautiful village whose life depended upon a crystal-clear stream. When the unseen keeper of that stream was dismissed, everything seemed fine...for a while.Then the water began to change.Eventually, the entire village felt the effects.Our souls can work the same way.We can neglect what's happening beneath the surface while remaining busy with everything that seems more urgent.But eventually, everything flows downstream.So ask yourself today:How is it with my soul?The stream is your soul.And you are its keeper.In this episode: What is the soul?  Why the Psalms are the great “soul book”  Dallas Willard on the inner life  Why the Psalms repeatedly use water imagery  The soul as an inner stream  How the health of your soul affects everything else  Why unseen spiritual work matters  The parable of the keeper of the stream  What happens when we neglect our souls  How to begin tending your inner life Scriptures: Psalm 121:7 • Psalm 63:1 • Psalm 42:1–2 • Psalm 46:4#JohnOrtberg #Soul #Psalms #DallasWillard #SpiritualFormation #Prayer #ChristianFaith #InnerLife #BibleStudy #SpiritualHealthSuggested YouTube Chapters00:00 How Is It With Your Soul? 00:33 What Is the Soul? 00:59 The Psalms: The Great Soul Book 01:16 Who Is the Keeper of Your Soul? 01:34 My Soul Thirsts for God 01:51 As the Deer Pants for Water 02:20 The Soul Is an Inner Stream 02:43 How Healthy Is Your Soul Today? 03:07 What a Healthy Soul Looks Like 03:34 Where Does Your Soul Get Its Life? 03:48 The Keeper of the Stream 04:11 A Beautiful Village in the Alps 04:35 The Old Man Nobody Noticed 04:59 The Unseen Work of Tending the Stream 05:25 What Happens When the Stream Is Neglected 05:39 At First, Nobody Noticed 06:02 The Whole Village Begins to Suffer 06:11 The Life of the Village Depends on the Stream 06:35 The Stream Is Restored 06:41 You Are the Keeper of Your Soul

Emotional pain, of all kinds and magnitudes, is part of life. We'll never be able to find ourselves free of it; no meditation or amount of therapy will cure us of the harder parts of being alive. Celebrated author and therapist, Lisa Olivera has confronted this reality for years, weaving her exploration of it throughout her popular SubStack, Human Stuff. She reminds us that the practice of turning toward the ache with care—reverence, even—might be one of the most meaningful gifts we can give ourselves. It might even save us.Through her work, Lisa offers questions and practices that invite us into this possibility.Questions such as:How do we confront and tend to the painful parts of being human without letting that pain entirely overtake us? How do we find joy even when depression visits, even when we lose someone we love, even when the hurt of the world is ever-present? How do we cultivate aliveness in the midst? Today we'll engage with these questions alongside themes from her gorgeous new book:When the Ache Remains: Lessons on Tending to the Unfixable and Finding Beauty Anyway, All of which point to how what Lisa calls; the ache of being alive, shapes our lives, how we can alchemize pain into medicine, how presence is accessible, and how it's possible to find beauty and joy even in the midst of some of our most harrowing experiences.For more on Lisa, her books, substack, events and other offerings, please visit lisaolivera.comEnjoying the show?

It's easy to see when a garden needs watering. The plant leaves begin to wilt, the ground becomes dry, and cracks appear. And if the plants aren't tended to, they're at risk of withering and dying.It's the same with people who need Jesus. In this message, Jill Briscoe helps us understand what's at risk and asks us to dedicate ourselves to impacting people in our sphere of influence.

Sarah shares an episode from a podcast (and therapist) she'd like to introduce you to: A Simple Therapy Podcast with Sindee Gozansky.  Sindee Gozansky welcomes Gino Titus-Luciano, LMHC—CEO of Kokua Mental Health and Wellness Group, president of the Hawaii Counselors Association, and a therapist who believes you can't show up as a textbook and expect real healing to happen. Gino brings insight into what culturally grounded care actually looks like and why bringing your authentic self into the room doesn't mean losing your professional boundaries. Together, Sindee and Gino explore how to balance being real with staying professional, why cultural curiosity matters more than competency, and what happens when a client's values directly challenge your own. Gino shares a powerful moment working with a client who rejected DEI principles—and how getting curious instead of defensive opened the door to actual therapeutic work. He breaks down why rigid treatment models burn clinicians out, how to know when you're over-identifying or under-identifying with a client's culture, and why caring for your therapists is the foundation of caring for clients. This conversation is full of permission to stop performing, real talk about vicarious trauma, and a reminder that reflection isn't optional—it's essential. Gino challenges us to ask whether we still love this work and to build practices where clinicians can laugh, bring their specialties to the table, and actually want to show up. Because sustainable therapy starts with remembering you're a person too. Thank you to Sindee and Gino for sharing this conversation from A Simple Therapy Podcast with us.

Known for bringing loneliness and social connection into the national conversation, former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy joins host Serena Bian at Commonweal's New School to reflect on the deeper currents beneath his work. Beginning with his spiritual biography, we explore the questions, traditions, and experiences that shaped his understanding of service, healing, and what it means to belong. From there, the conversation expands into an exploration and re-imagining of our collective future. How do we nurture meaning and purpose in an age increasingly defined by technology?

Episode #1177 You can put in all the effort in the world, but if it's not the effort your wife is asking for, your relationship may still feel stuck. In this episode of The TPM Show, Tim Matthews and Lawrence Davis unpack one of the most common traps successful men fall into: believing that working harder on themselves automatically leads to a stronger marriage. While personal growth is important, it isn't a substitute for genuine connection. Tim shares the story of a man who was committed to coaching, routines, and self-improvement but still struggled with a lack of physical intimacy in his marriage. The problem wasn't a lack of effort. It was that he was investing his energy everywhere except where his wife had been asking for it: spending quality time with her, being emotionally available, and creating meaningful moments of connection. Together, Tim and Lawrence explore how resentment builds when expectations don't match reality, why keeping score damages intimacy, and how emotional safety becomes the foundation for rebuilding trust. They also explain why many men focus on the outcome they want instead of the daily actions that actually create it.

The person you cannot forgive is keeping you awake at 2 a.m. while they sleep just fine, and in this episode I show you where resentment actually lives in your body, why forgiveness has felt impossible, and how to finally release the inherited anger stored in your liver through Kundalini Yoga, the science of the nervous system, and the Christ Consciousness teaching on forgiveness.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Alison Cook to talk about attachment, emotional healing, and the ways our relationships shape how we understand ourselves, others, and God.We all have a deep need for connection, safety, and belonging, but we can sometimes place too much pressure on the people around us to meet those needs. Dr. Cook explains why human relationships are important while also reminding us that no person can be the ultimate source of everything our souls need. There is a deeper attachment available to us through God.We also talk about what happens when old wounds surface, particularly when we finally feel safe enough for those parts of us to emerge. Dr. Cook describes these experiences as “soul ruptures”, moments when core memories and beliefs about ourselves can become activated. Instead of responding with shame or criticism, we can learn to slow down, notice what we're feeling, and become curious about what that part of us needs.This conversation is especially meaningful for moms who spend so much of their time caring for everyone else. When we're constantly focused on our children's needs, it can be easy to lose touch with what's happening inside of us. Dr. Cook encourages us to make space for our own souls, tend to the younger parts of ourselves that still need care, and allow God's healing presence into those places. Our souls are worth tending to, too.In This Episode Why attachment is such a fundamental human need Why we can't expect another person to meet all of our emotional needs What divine attachment means and how God becomes our ultimate source of connection Why parts of us can surface when we finally feel safe What a soul rupture is and how core memories can continue to affect us How shame and blame show up when we feel like we don't belong Learning to recognize and care for the younger parts of ourselves What it means to “parent your soul” Recognizing our internal bids for connection Why healing requires space for difficult emotions How moms can make more room for their own emotional and spiritual needs Why we don't change through shame or criticism  Connect with Dr. Alison Cook:  Website: Dr. Alison Cook Instagram: Dr. Alison Cook | Psychotherapist + Secure Attachment (@dralisoncook) Facebook: Dr. Alison Cook Links Mentioned:  The Secure Soul: By Dr. Alison Cook Boundaries for Your Soul: By Dr. Alison Cook You Are the One You've Been Waiting For: By Richard Schwartz PhD Dr. Alison Cook | The Best of You Podcast  The Best of You Every Day Podcast - 8 minute devotional   Related Episodes: Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 1) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 498] Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 2) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 499] Strengthening the Relationship with Your Adult Child :: Kathy Cunningham [Ep 543] Featured Sponsors:  Our place: Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

Sometimes we can't tend to everything at once. Mary Stone shares her mission to manage the undesirable Mile-a-Minute weed and Japanese Stilt Grass, while heavy rains unexpectedly cleared the pond of favorable Duckweed. Along the way, an old stone wall, resilient Blackberry Lilies, and newly visible frogs offer reminders that while we can't get to everything in our gardens—or our lives—we can tend what we can and let go of the rest.Link to the Companion Blog Post: Tending What We Can in the Garden of Life  Related Episodes you will enjoy:·         Episode 177 — Nighttime Chorus of Garden Insects ·        Episode 264  Another Lesson from the Leaf—Help Is on the Way·         Episode 107 — Mile-a-Minute Weed and Butterfly Magnets·         Episode 215 — The Tiny Wonder of Duckweed·         Episode 211 — Truth and Tale of Two Country Gardens·         Blackberry Lily & Soil Remediation  Blog PostA favorite "tool of the trade":·         Farmer's Defense — Garden Protection Sleeves Connect with Mary Stone Visit: AskMaryStone.com Garden Dilemmas?

Self-care isn't a spa day or a to-do list. In the HOCI model, it's one of the six core areas of healthy human functioning -- the ability to identify and tend to your own needs across four domains: physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual. In this episode we look at why self-care breaks down, what the value wound has to do with it, and why the cultural version of self-care leaves a lot of people -- especially men -- out entirely. If you've ever felt like tending to yourself was somehow selfish, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE The HOCI definition of self-care -- and why it's broader and more serious than the cultural version Why self-care breaks down: the value wound, codependence, and the belief that needs are selfish The four domains: physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual -- and what neglect in each one costs A direct conversation about men and self-care: what men are taught about needs, and what that costs them What self-care actually looks like for men -- practical and without the cultural baggage How self-care connects to all six HOCI principles Why giving from depletion isn't generosity -- it's a slow burn REFLECTION QUESTION In which of the four domains -- physical, emotional, relational, spiritual -- are you most depleted right now? And what is the story you tell yourself about why you don't have permission to tend to it?

What if the future of therapy asks clinicians to stop checking their humanity at the door? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: There's a gap between the world we were trained for as therapists and the world we find ourselves in now. And here to explore that gap with compassion, curiosity, and a dose of reality is relational therapist, writer, mentor, and founder of Venus + Legacy, Josie Rosario. Keep listening if you are curious about: The evolving role of the therapist to meet the needs of today's clients Therapists doing their own healing work and examining one's relationship to power as essential parts of becoming an effective clinician, Spirituality, the wounded healer, and the future of psychotherapy including faith and hope amid social and systemic collapse, and a possible return to the therapist as a more relational "village healer" rooted in community rather than positioned above it. "We have been trained to kinda check our humanity at the door a little bit," Josie says. But what happens when clients are increasingly hungry for what's real?

Micro Pause: Tending the Inner Garden

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® What happens to your soul when the systems that train you run on efficiency, measurement, and output? Artist and author Bette Dickinson joins host Bill Reichart for a rich and unhurried conversation about spiritual flourishing in a productivity-driven culture — and why the vineyard, not the factory floor, is a far truer image of how God forms us. Bette unpacks the vital difference between bearing fruit and truly flourishing, examines how medical training quietly reshapes our image of God, and offers a life-giving alternative for the student, resident, or healthcare professional who feels like their formation has been hijacked by metrics. Whether you’re running on empty or just sensing that something deeper is missing, this conversation is an invitation to receive the long, patient work of the Vinedresser.

Fear, anger, grief, and stress all live in a real map inside your body called the meridians, and in this first episode of our four part series, I show you what the meridians are, why your emotions get stuck in them, and how fear in particular lives in the kidney and bladder and can finally be moved through Kundalini Yoga chanting and the breath, prana.This is Episode 1 of a four-part series walking the meridians, the energy pathways that carry prana through your body, one emotion and one pair of organs at a time. The meridians are where your emotions actually live and move through, and once you understand this map, your body stops being a mystery and you release the fear at the root. We begin with fear, because the body has to feel safe before anything else can heal/evolve, and fear lives in the Water element, in the kidney and the bladder and is once of the most common emotional patterns that is passed down in lineages.Along the way, this episode shows why understanding the meridians is not optional for women. There is a mental health crisis among women right now, and its real root is a fear that lives in the body and gets passed down the mother line, one that cannot be prayed or medicated away. We look honestly at how women's bodies actually work, how women in crisis have been failed for generations, and the heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy, as the proof of why this holistic body, mind, soul-based medicine cannot wait.What you'll learn:- What the meridians are, the twelve energy pathways that carry prana through your body, and why your emotions flow or become stagnant in the rivers - How the meridians work: yin and yang, the six organ pairs, the five elements, and the emotion each one carries- The two vessels up your spine that carry your ancestors' energy, and why restoring flow in the meridians is generational- Why fear lives in the kidney and bladder meridians, and the body clock that explains why so many women crash between 3 and 7 in the evening- The science that will give you chills: your adrenal glands, which make your fear hormones, sit directly on top of your kidneys, exactly where the meridian map placed fear thousands of years ago- Why the women's mental health crisis, and the Lindsay Clancy case, prove this matters now more than ever - The Chattr Chakkr Vartee Kundalini Yoga mantra, why chanting this mantra moves fear when words cannot, and Yogananda's Christ Consciousness teaching on fear and the Cosmic Mother- Plus Three things you can begin this week to move fear out of your body**Chapters:**00:00 You can't pray your fear away02:00 Why this matters for women04:00 What the meridians are07:00 How the meridians work: yin, yang, pairs, and elements10:00 The vessels that carry your ancestors13:00 Women, fear, and a system that fails them: the Lindsay Clancy case20:00 Fear in the kidney and bladder, and the body clock24:00 The science: your adrenals sit on your kidneys29:00 The mantra that moves fear33:00 The Christ Consciousness perspective37:00 Three things to begin this weekWelcome to the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Sovereign Sister!I am Veronica Barragan, founder of the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, Kundalini Yoga therapist, and author of *Tending the Ancestral Garden, Reclaiming the Sanctuary*.

Stronger Together was a call that was popular several years ago as an attempt to join together and try to build each other up in a time when things seemed so bleak. But that call didn't last long. Today we look at a passage from Ezekiel to see why we should still be coming together to great things for God, our Good Shepherd.

What if the biggest challenge facing therapists isn't burnout… but evolution? In this special bonus episode, Sarah shares her keynote from the inaugural Revolutionary Practice Summit, exploring why therapists must evolve—not just professionally, but personally—to meet the realities of practicing in today's world. Drawing from trauma theory, developmental psychology, leadership research, systems thinking, and her own experience as a therapist and group practice owner, Sarah offers a compelling vision for the future of psychotherapy. Rather than asking therapists to simply become more resilient, she invites us to expand our capacity for complexity, uncertainty, and collective care. In this keynote, Sarah explores: Why therapists must do their own work The hidden cost of pathological empathy Why self-care alone isn't enough Organizational trauma and unhealthy workplace cultures Vertical development and therapist maturity The "meta-crisis" shaping mental health today Power, leadership, and the future of psychotherapy Why healing must happen at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels Whether you're a therapist, supervisor, practice owner, social worker, or graduate student, this keynote is an invitation to imagine what our profession could become—and the role each of us plays in creating it.

The biggest revolution right now isn't technology or artificial intelligence. It's identity. In fact, it's always been identity. And the reason you don't know who you are goes back generations, it's systemic, and it lives in your body.In this episode I go into the one thing underneath all of our healing: your identity. Because you never get what you want in life, you get what you believe to be. Most of us are living from a false identity we were programmed through trauma, religion, and colonization and it quietly runs our money, our relationships, and how we treat ourselves. I share my own story of releasing my addiction to alcohol through this work, and then I show you why identity is not a mindset issue and where identity actually lives in the body.I go into the science of why you can't think or affirm your way into your authentic self while your psoas muscle and fascia are still braced for danger from something that happened a long time ago or even in a past lifetime. I bring in Carl Jung, who studied Kundalini Yoga himself and placed the birth of the true self at that exact same center as the Yogis did. We talk honestly about who profits when a woman doesn't know who she is, from colonization to pop culture. Then I teach the real science of the mantra Sat Nam, how the tongue on the upper palate shifts your glands, navel, and your nervous system to burn away false identities, and how this becomes the path of Christ Consciousness returning to you to your highest identity, the light you actually. **⏱ CHAPTERS:**0:00 — The real revolution is identity, not technology1:23 — Welcome + what we're covering today3:39 — How we crucify ourselves on a false identity6:15 — Inherited trauma, past lifetimes, and the brain's addiction to the old self11:30 — Where identity lives in the body: the navel point (Manipura)14:31 — The psoas, the fascia, and why you can't think your way into a new self16:28 — The solar plexus, the gut brain, and interoception17:45 — Carl Jung and the birth of the true self at the navel23:40 — Persona, shadow, and the return to the Self27:01 — Who profits when a woman doesn't know who she is30:39 — Sat Nam: frequency, and how chanting rewires you33:05 — The science of Sat Nam: the palate, the glands, the nervous system36:11 — The Christ within and your highest identity39:22 — We are pure light: biophotons, fascia, and the meridians41:36 — Releasing the brace and doing the real work42:12 — How you live when God moves through you44:46 — Closing: you are the gift, join the Sanctuary and in-person circles**SUBSCRIBE + COMMENT:**If this resonated, subscribe and stay in community with us.

Our guest is Khandro Kunzang Dechen Chödrön, who spent decades living, practicing, and receiving teachings from two uncompromising yogic masters of our time.

What if the most grounding thing you could do today wasn't more effort, but more tenderness toward yourself? Welcome to Day 5 of our 7-day grounding meditation series. Today we return to the root chakra — but instead of grounding through breath or posture, we nurture it directly, tending to your most basic needs for safety and security the way you'd tend a small fire or water a plant. This guided meditation blends chakra visualization with real nervous-system science to help you feel steadier, safer, and more whole by the end of the practice.

What You'll Learn in This Episode A root chakra (Muladhara) visualization for feeling safe and grounded The science behind why self-nurture calms your nervous system (hello, oxytocin and vagal tone) Why tending to yourself is regulating, not indulgent An ancient yogic teaching on the root as the foundation for all growth Who This Episode Is For Anyone who feels depleted, unsafe, or disconnected from their own needs — and is searching for root chakra meditation, self-compassion practices, or grounding techniques backed by both ancient wisdom and modern science.

Can therapists ethically work with clients whose values oppose their own? Sarah Buino and Jordan Conrad explore professionalism, self-disclosure, political identity, and the future of psychotherapy in an increasingly polarized world. Is therapy political? That's a good question and one that provokes an array of answers (just peruse any therapists' Facebook group). I've talked with a decent number of therapists who possess vastly different political views than their clients. Every one of these compassionate providers mentions how difficult it is to hold space for healing amid political discord. Enter Jordan Conrad, PhD, LCSW, a psychotherapist, researcher, and the founder and clinical director of Lexington Park Psychotherapy in NYC. Jordan is an accomplished clinician and author, and his work explores difficult topics in the philosophy of medicine, neurodiversity, and psychotherapy. He's also an excellent sparring partner on the subject of ethics in therapeutic spaces. Let's get ready to (verbally) rumble!

Given at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Cottage Grove, Oregon.

Often times women that are accustomed to saving everyone and fixing everyone's problems, deep down are running away from themselves and wish someone would do that for them. This is a pattern that is passed down in the lineage that has to be broken energetically at the level of the nervous system. The agave plant is a great example of this. The plant lives for decades, storing and giving everything it has, and then sends up one giant flower stalk and dies, leaving new plants rooted at its base. I saw one in full bloom in Sedona the week my book was born which is exactly what happened in my own life with the birth of this book, and it is exactly what so many of the women in our lineages have done so you can too. In this episode I read the Invitation that closes my book. Then I explain who the matriarch in our families really was before colonization, systemic trauma, and religion made her forget, which is how she got turned into the woman who gives until she's empty. I also break down Barbault's Basket, the star pattern a French astrologer used to predict the 2020 pandemic more than 30 years ago, and what the planets are doing right now that confirm we have entered into a New Era of the Matriarch risign, from savior to protector. You'll learn where the savior pattern came from, why you carry it, and what the matriarch actually is.New here? I'm Veronica Barragan founder of the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary and author of Tending the Ancestral Garden, Reclaiming the Sanctuary. I teach women to heal generational trauma through the Ten Bodies of Kundalini Yoga and the path of Christ Consciousness, weaving the science of inherited trauma together with ancient practice.WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS:→ The full reading of the Invitation that closes *Tending the Ancestral Garden*, the passage I wrote after seeing the agave in full death bloom in Sedona the week the book was born→ What rose from that bloom: the book itself and six in-person Sanctuary chapters now open across two countries→ Who the matriarch in our families really was before colonization, the power and the role she held, and how empire changed her from a protector into the woman who gives until there's nothing left→ The savior pattern with both its sides, saving everyone around you and quietly needing to be saved yourself, where it comes from in the lineage, and what actually moves a woman out of it→ Barbault's Basket explained simply: the star pattern the French astrologer André Barbault used to predict the 2020, what the planets are doing right now, and why this exact week is the one where the shift happensDO THIS NEXT:

Send us Fan MailThis is the summer edition of something we explored earlier this year with kapha dosha — bringing the yamas and niyamas, yoga's ethical and personal observances, into conversation with the season we're actually in. And right now, we are in pitta season. Fire and water. Heat, intensity, drive, sharpness, focus — all of it turned up.Pitta's gifts are extraordinary. The clarity, the capacity to make things happen, the warmth. But when pitta goes out of balance in the height of summer  — the fire can start to scorch the very life it's trying to build.These five practices are the medicine.What we cover:Ahimsa (non-violence) — how pitta's perfectionism and self-criticism are the most common forms of self-harm we never name, why Ayurveda recommends exercising to only 60–70% capacity in summer, and a simple practice of just noticing the moments you override your body before trying to change anythingSatya (truthfulness) — the practice of learning to hear the voice of what is actually true for you beneath the voice of obligation, habit, and expectation, and how body-led movement like Somatic Stretch and Shake creates a small safe container to begin that listeningBrahmacharya (moderation) — why pitta is drawn to intensity and how the short, brilliant Maine summer perfectly illustrates the urge to consume everything at once, and what it means to direct energy into balanced endeavors rather than burning both ends of the candleSaucha (purity) — the nervous system cost of a cluttered space, why pitta season is naturally detoxifying without any imposed cleanse, the foods that are cooling and cleansing right now (including a beloved herb sauce recipe), and movement as a lymphatic practiceSantosha (contentment) — the research on why our brains are genuinely unreliable estimators of how much big achievements will make us happy, the impact bias named by psychologists Dan Gilbert and Timothy Wilson, what the hedonic treadmill actually does to us, and why collecting small daily moments of contentment — what the Japanese call Sho-Katkou, small but certain happiness — may be one of the most powerful things a pitta person can doLinks mentioned:Somatic Stretch and Shake — free class on YouTubePitta season Somatic Stretch & Shake class coming soon — join the email list to stay in the loop: Email NewsletterResearch mentioned:Impact Bias — Gilbert, D. & Wilson, T.

What does it actually mean to live wholeheartedly?Jesus tells us to love God, love our neighbors, and—almosttucked into the middle of that command—to love our neighbors as ourselves.But what if loving ourselves isn't about self-focus at all? What if it's actually about stewardship?In this episode, I share one of the most helpful illustrations I've ever learned from Al-Anon: the idea that each of us has beenentrusted with our own "acre"—our spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, and relational life. We'll talk about why it's so easy to spend our lives comparing our acre to someone else's or trying to manage everyone else's instead of faithfully tending our own.I'll also share some of the simple rhythms that have helpedme walk with Jesus over the years, why I think we often write emotional checks our hearts can't cash, and why the ordinary decisions we make every day quietly shape the women we're becoming.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck incomparison, or simply wondering what faithfulness looks like in this season, I hope this conversation encourages you.Reflection QuestionsAs you picture your own "acre," what area of your life feels healthiest right now? What area most needs your attention? Where have you been spending more energy comparing your life to someone else's or trying to manage someone else's acre than tending your own? What daily rhythm helps you stay connected to Jesus andbecome the person He's creating you to be? Is there a new rhythm you'd like to begin? What is one small, ordinary step you can take this week tocare well for your spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, or relational health? How does remembering that you are already completely loved by God change the way you think about taking care of yourself?www.elisabethklein.com

What therapists often misunderstand about DID, childhood trauma, shame, attachment, and the therapeutic relationship—with psychotherapist and author Sally Maslansky. **If you find conversations about childhood sexual abuse activating, please take care with this episode. Although our discussion doesn't contain explicit details, abuse is a central theme.**  Because hindsight is 20/20, allow me to add a bit of self-evaluation to this conversation with Sally Maslansky, LMFT, my emotionally wise and accomplished guest. Sally is a licensed psychotherapist, speaker, consultant, and author of A Brilliant Adaptation: How Dissociative Identity and the Therapeutic Bond Saved Me. Her work centers on the power of relationship, the complexity of the mind, and the possibility of healing even in the aftermath of profound childhood trauma.  Sally's life and career can serve as proof that people with dissociative identity disorder (DID) can heal. Here are three points to take away from this discussion: DID truly is a superior survival adaptation. It generally develops in response to attachment wounds sustained in childhood. Shame––not the feeling that we've done something bad but that we are bad––is a bummer! The more we can build capacity to identify the implicit or explicit shame-based lessons of our childhood, the closer we get to connecting with ourselves and each other. Therapists can (and should) "meet" their patients' dissociated states. With proper training and supervision, these interactions can become part of a compassionate reintegration process. "Therapy," concludes Sally, "is a collaborative venture." I agree. It's not about needing to fix; it's about accountability and liberating ourselves from trauma.

Today we're going to chat about the quiet power of tending to your own vibration first — especially when other people's moods, stress, or opinions start pulling at you.  This matters because so much of what we call "misalignment" is really just absorbing energy that isn't ours, and that can quietly throw off your confidence, clarity, and momentum. When you learn how to steady yourself before reacting, you become more grounded, magnetic, and clear in every area of life. Tune in for practical, real-life shifts that will help you stay centered, protect your energy, and influence your world from the inside out.

We all want to grow something good in our lives, but wanting growth and actually experiencing it are two very different things. In Matthew 13, Jesus describes four types of soil that represent four conditions of the human heart: calloused, shallow, crowded, and fruitful. The seed is the Word of God, the sower is Jesus, and there is nothing wrong with either. The only variable is the condition of our hearts. Through the Beatitudes, Jesus gives us a practical path forward. Practicing mercy softens a calloused heart, pursuing purity deepens a shallow heart, and promoting peace clears a crowded heart. Tending to the soil of our hearts is not a one-time decision but an ongoing, faithful practice. When we do, Jesus cultivates fruitfulness in us that blesses everyone around us.

With climate change, the threat of wildfires, and human encroachment among other things, our trees and forests are in desperate need of guardians. From tropical rainforests, often referred to as the lungs of the planet, to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in California's White Mountains, home to some of the oldest living organisms on earth, what is being done to protect our woodlands? Forester and author Ethan Tapper joins The Excerpt to share both his practical and philosophical perspectives outlined in his new book, "How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World."

A listener recently asked a question that seems like a contradiction: How can someone be born on a New Moon if their Moon is also void of course? Doesn't a conjunction with the sun mean that the moon isn't void? In this episode, we unpack what each of these astrological concepts means and how both can be true at the same time.
