In this deep and relatable conversation, Tenya and Eva explore the sacral chakra — the energetic center of creativity, emotional flow, and pleasure. This episode dives into how guilt, boundaries, and childhood conditioning shape our ability to feel joy and connection.

You’ll learn how imbalances in this chakra can show up as people-pleasing, emotional dependency, rigidity, or physical symptoms like tight hips, infertility, or painful menstrual cycles. Together, Tenya and Eva share their personal healing journeys as women, mothers, and practitioners, offering insight into how to restore emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, and authentic pleasure.

They also discuss how sacral healing connects to abundance, inherited money wounds, and breaking generational cycles of guilt and scarcity — helping listeners understand how energy healing ripples through families for generations.

Key Topics Covered:

What the sacral chakra governs and how it affects creativity, pleasure, and relationships
Why guilt is the shadow emotion of this chakra
How to know if your sacral energy is deficient or excessive
Releasing people-pleasing and learning that “no” is a complete sentence
Understanding emotional dependency and healthy anger
The link between sacral energy and reproductive or digestive health

In this conversation, Tenya and Eva explore the Root Chakra through the lens of the Gen X experience. They reflect on what safety, security, and belonging meant growing up in homes where emotions were rarely discussed and independence was often mistaken for strength. Together, they unpack how generational patterns of emotional suppression, survival, and early self-reliance shaped our ability to feel grounded and trust others.

This episode moves from personal stories to deep insights on grounding, somatic awareness, and reparenting the inner child. The discussion also bridges practical and energetic tools for rebalancing the root chakra, emphasizing how fear of change, money anxiety, or discomfort with kindness all trace back to foundational safety patterns.

Key Topics:
How Gen X’s upbringing shaped root chakra imbalances
The connection between emotional safety, trust, and independence
Grounding practices for stability and nervous system regulation
Reparenting your inner child and restoring emotional safety
How body awareness reveals when your energy is off balance
Why tears, laughter, or even movement are signs of release
Energy Practices Discussed:
Grounding visualizations (roots, cords, earth energy)
Somatic awareness and movement (yoga, dancing, shaking)
Journaling or speaking emotions aloud
Connecting with the inner child
Building community and allowing support

In this episode of The Path is Always Evolving, Tenya and Eva dive deeper into the root chakra (Muladhara) and how our earliest conditioning around safety, security, and belonging shows up in adult life.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

*How the boomer and Gen X upbringings shaped our sense of safety and independence.
*The connection between emotional neglect, latchkey childhoods, and root chakra imbalances.
*Why decluttering your space matters for your nervous system.
*Simple grounding practices you can start right now.
*Reparenting your “mini-me” and giving your inner child what was missing.
*How to recognize body signals that say: “I don’t feel safe here.”
*Practices to bring balance: grounding, journaling, dancing, laughter yoga, and even shaking it out.

This conversation is equal parts personal stories, energy wisdom, and practical tools for anyone who’s ever felt unsafe, unsupported, or too independent for their own good.

We kick off the Root (Muladhara) conversation: what it is, how it actually shows up in daily life, and why nearly everyone starts their healing here. Eva connects yoga therapy and nervous-system science with practical tools; Tenya shares real-life reflections on clutter, safety, money, and boundaries. You’ll learn how root imbalances look in bodies, homes, bank accounts, and conversations—and how awareness is the first reset button.

You’ll learn
*Muladhara basics: location, theme (survival/safety), development window (womb–12 months)
*How lower/upper chakras influence each other (e.g., throat ↔ solar plexus)
*Excess vs deficiency patterns (heaviness/materialism vs fear/spacey/restless)
*Why decluttering, earthing, and gratitude soothe the root
*How “I am” language helps (without toxic positivity)
*Why body-based work + energy work + talk therapy play well together


Try-This Toolkit (simple, doable)
Breath + stance: Stand hip-width, feel your feet. Inhale: notice contact with the floor. Exhale: imagine roots down into the earth (30–60s).
Micro-declutter: Clear one surface (desk/nightstand). Notice your body after.
Language shift: Replace “I don’t have…” with “I am supported. I am resourced. I am here.”
Money reframe: Pay a bill with gratitude: “I’m grateful this is covered.” "Other people are paying my bills"
Boundary rep: Practice saying “No.” Full stop. Breathe. No explanation.

This week on The Path is Always Evolving, Tenya and Eva open up about the messy, layered reality of grief.

We talk about:
*How life has been "lifting" lately—from road trips and family visits to unexpected loss.
*What it’s really like to grieve a parent you didn’t have a strong or healthy relationship with.
*The pressure to feel grief a certain way vs. honoring your own authentic process.
*The nervous system’s role in how we handle triggers, crying, and emotional release.
*Why talking openly about death (yes, even attending a Death Café!) is one of the most healing conversations we can have.
*How energy work, yoga, and self-awareness create space for navigating loss in ways our parents may not have been able to.

This episode is raw, real, and necessary. Whether you’ve lost a parent, are caregiving, or want to better understand your own emotional patterns, you’ll find resonance here.

👉 Next week, we’ll dive deeper into mourning the parent you didn’t have, wished you had, and lost.

This week, Eva and Tenya dive deep into the oh-so-familiar trap of “should-ing on yourself.” If you’ve ever felt weighed down by expectations—your own, your family’s, or society’s—this one’s for you. The hosts get real about what it means to carry around all those “I should be…” thoughts, and how they often hold us back from joy, self-acceptance, and true alignment.

They discuss:

The difference between genuine desire and obligation
How “shoulds” sneak into adulthood, work, family, health, and relationships
Why “should” is really just an energetic misalignment (and what to do about it)
Ways to reframe your self-talk with phrases like “I get to,” “I choose to,” or “it would be helpful if…”
How to use journaling, self-inquiry, and even a “why friend” to untangle what’s really driving your sense of obligation
Why shadow work, energy work, and conscious mindset practices can all play a role (and why there’s no “right order”)
The connection between people-pleasing, boundaries, and the things we think we have to do

Plus, you’ll get practical tools to shift out of shame and guilt, including:

How to reframe movement and self-care
Playful tips like starting to practice saying “no” (telemarketers count!)
Why “should” is often your soul’s way of telling you something’s out of alignment

Favorite Quotes:

“Stop shoulding on yourself!”

“When we create the should, it’s our own way of letting ourselves know that what follows is not in alignment with us.”

“Find yourself a ‘why friend’—someone who will lovingly ask you why until you get to the root of what’s really going on.”

Resource Mentioned:

Alternative phrases to replace “should”: It would be helpful to…, I choose to…, I’m invited to…, You might benefit from…
