Sex, Drugs, & Sound Bowls | Season 2, Episode 11

This is what happens when you realize the sharpest words you speak are pointing straight toward an unmet need you are neglecting to honor within yourself.

In this episode, I explore the moment I recognized a recurring pattern: once a month, luteal, my tongue becomes a viper. Rather than meeting that realization with shame, I get freaking curious about what it’s trying to teach me. Every emotion has wisdom to offer, if I could just learn how to slow down and listen without reacting.

I share a heartfelt promise I made to my sweet Matty after realizing I hadn’t treated him like the king he is to me, and the simple practice I’m beginning to help me respond with greater awareness and curiosity instead of reactivity.

We also explore:

• Why patterns matter more than isolated moments.
• The old wisdom: “Fool me once…” and how I apply it in relationships.
• Why boundaries are about what you will do, not what you need someone else to do.
• The freedom that comes when we stop waiting for permission, rescue, or someone else to change before we care for ourselves.
• Becoming deeply nourished, well-tended, protected, and blossoming from the inside out.
• Are you a volcano or a dead fish? Finding the courageous middle ground between suppression and explosion.
• The quiet power of self-reflection, journaling, and modeling healthy boundaries for our children.
• Why our capacity to love, parent, create, and serve is directly tied to how well we care for ourselves.

I come back again and again to the experience that changing the world begins by tending myself well enough that what spills over naturally blesses everyone around you.

When we tend to our own nervous systems, our own hearts, and our own needs first, what overflows into the world is no longer resentment or depletion but generosity, steadiness, and love. And that, my darling dear friends, is an energy that can and DOES change

the

world.
