In this episode of Blackbird TSR we sit down for an honest, embodied conversation about how childhood trauma and emotional neglect live on in the nervous system, and how healing begins in the body, not just the mind.

We explore the moments when emotional reactions feel bigger than the present, when the body responds before words arrive, and how survival patterns like shutting down, withdrawing, or holding everything in often trace back to what once kept us safe as children.

Together, we talk about:

• How the body remembers what the mind tries to forget
  

• Emotional neglect and its quiet impact on adult relationships
  

• What dysregulation actually looks and feels like in the body
  

• Why talk therapy isn’t always enough on its own
  

• The process of relearning safety through somatic awareness and gentle practices
  

This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about listening, noticing, and releasing shame around responses that were once protective. It’s a reminder that your nervous system adapted for a reason… and that it can also learn something new.

We close with a grounding affirmation for anyone learning how to soften, feel, and come home to themselves… one breath at a time.

Come home to yourself.

In this episode, we sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what being almost 40 really feels like inside and out. Together, we unpack how aging has shifted our perspectives on beauty, success, and womanhood, and why those definitions no longer look the way they once did.

We talk openly about the relationships, habits, and versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown and what we’re intentionally making space for in this next chapter. From releasing old expectations to embracing deeper self-trust, this episode explores what a real “glow-up” looks like beyond appearance.

We also reflect on the truths we wish we had known earlier about aging ; the freedom, the clarity, and the quiet confidence that comes with time. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and affirming for anyone navigating change, growth, or the approach of a new decade.

If you’re redefining yourself, letting go of who you thought you had to be, or learning to see aging as an evolution rather than a loss — this episode is for you.

Almost 40 isn’t about fading; it’s about finally coming into focus.

In this opening episode, we introduce ourselves not through titles or timelines, but through the seasons of becoming that brought us here.

We talk about the moments that cracked us open, the paths that led us back to each other, and why these conversations once held quietly between friends, now feel ready to be shared out loud. As two women navigating spiritual awakening alongside motherhood, relationships, and evolving identity, we reflect on what it means to unmask, to grow, and to stay connected while honoring our differences.

This episode explores friendship as a sacred container, community as a place of belonging rather than performance, and the courage it takes to show up honestly in a world that often asks women to shrink or polish their truth.

If you’re in a season of transition, healing, or remembering who you are beneath the roles you carry, this is an invitation to settle in. You’re not late. You’re right on time.
