Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. In each episode she shares stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay is joined by Jane Bond. Jane is a powerhouse in luxury real estate (Naples, NYC, Philly), and a fierce advocate for women. Having “unpacked her life,” Jane now inspires women through her podcast, Unpack Your Life, to pause and take an honest look at their lives—and to ask themselves if what they’re going through is allowing for their growth or keeping them hostage?

When her career, marriage, finances, and ego all collapsed at once, Jane had to let go of everything she thought made her who she was. In this major “Hey wait” moment, she stepped out of performance and into reckoning—with her truth, her fear, and her power. Together, she and Jay talk about what it takes to stop performing and to start living from presence.

Except it took two takes…because the first time Jay and Jane sat down to record the interview, they both fell into old patterns of performing and people pleasing, and it didn’t come across as authentically as they knew they were capable of being. So two women who, in earlier chapters of their lives, would’ve either kept the inauthentic version or thrown it in the trash and walked away, instead chose to stay, have an honest and hard conversation and give themselves and each other a second chance. Give it a listen to see what came out of their second conversation.

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by Somatic Therapist, Social Worker, and Founder of Somatic Therapy Partners, Maira Holzmann. Maira’s work with Somatic and Psychedelic Therapy brings her clients to incredible breakthroughs, many of whom have struggled to find help through traditional therapeutic outlets.

Maira’s “Hey, Wait” moment came when she was driving through a fancy neighborhood and felt a whisper suggesting “You Belong Here.” She grew up as an immigrant, and constantly felt the desire to be a person of status within society. It was when she finally felt comfortable in herself, in her family, and in her surroundings, that she was truly able to embrace her wisdom and her career.

Understanding Somatic Therapy goes hand in hand with saying “Hey, Wait.” As soon as you are able to pause and soften your body, you are totally able to refocus your mind, reclaim your moment, and move into a more productive headspace. In an absolutely can’t miss episode, you’ll get a collection of tips that you can immediately implement into your own “Hey, Wait” journey, such as “Joy Spotting,” “Facial Softening,” and more.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by Bill Schiffmiller, the founder and CEO of Akoio, a company that specifically addresses auditory needs in the workplace. Bill’s real-life experience with hearing loss has informed every aspect of his life, and today Akoio is helping companies around the globe recognize the value of accessibility.

Through his conversation with Jay you’ll learn that there truly are so many auditory elements of life that may be causing you stress… that you aren’t even aware of. This is an invitation to take a “Hey, Wait” moment to pause, listen, and to consider what your experience of your daily soundscape is, and what you might need within it. Because learning to tune into what you actually feel—including noise–allows you to stop accepting discomfort as “just the way things are” and start making space for more joy.

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields returns solo to the mic, answering listener questions for the first time as she dives deeper into the essential– yet often challenging– Second Step of the “Hey, Wait” process.

Emily, a listener of the podcast, recently faced an upsetting moment at choir practice when someone took her stand without asking. Many of us have been in situations where we later wished we had spoken up, asserted ourselves, or found our voice. In this episode, Jay uses Emily’s story as a starting point to explore somatic experiencing– a practice that uses imagination to unlock bodily sensations– and explains how it can help Emily (and you!) move forward with more agency.

As we learned in Episode One, the “Hey, Wait” process has three key steps. Today, we focus on Step 2: Pausing– the moment you stop reacting and start tuning into your inner experience. It’s a deceptively difficult practice, requiring you to actually feel what’s going on inside. Jay breaks it down with clarity and compassion, offering real tools to help you integrate this step into your own life.

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by author, speaker, and founder of the Neurosculpting Institute, Lisa Wimberger. On her fifteenth birthday Lisa was–quite literally–struck by lightning. As a result of the trauma, she began to experience frequent seizures which were debilitating and which forced her to regularly confront near-death experiences.

Lisa’s “Hey, Wait” moment happened when she became a mother, and she realized that she needed to put herself first, so that she could put her daughter first. She began studying Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity, and she learned to train her brain and nervous system to override the seizures. Due to the techniques she now teaches through Neurosculpting, her last seizure was twenty years ago.

Since then, Lisa’s Neurosculpting technique has transformed countless lives. Throughout the episode, Lisa is incredibly generous in sharing personal anecdotes to express the value she’s gained from her practice, including stories that she has never spoken in public before now. If you’d like to learn more about Neurosculpting, and to access Free Meditations and more, or to sign up for Lisa’s “Congruence Retreat” coming this June 20-22, 2025, head over to the official Neurosculpting website at https://www.neurosculpting.com/.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by Author, Social Worker, Professor, and Speaker, Melody Wilding. Melody’s “Hey, Wait” Moment was made possible through psychology– not only by making an effort to recognize and adjust her own headspace… but also by adapting to the psychology of the people who work as her superiors.

Jay and Melody have so much in common, and their similar approach to life is apparent right away. Throughout their discussion the two talk about “Managing Up”, a concept that allows you to gain more authority, freedom, and confidence at work. They provide fantastic strategies and scripts that are actionable that you can use to gain back a sense of your own reality in the workplace– one of our key missions here on the “Hey, Wait” Podcast.

In today’s episode, we are focusing on the first step in the 3 Step “Hey, Wait” Process… Noticing When You’re Having a Bad Experience of Yourself Around Someone Else.

In life we often go into autopilot mode. How many times have you driven home from work and totally forgot the entire drive once you’ve arrived? We often do the same thing when we’re having a conversation with others– totally forgetting to acknowledge the way that we’re feeling in our bodies throughout our interactions.

Step 1 of “Hey, Wait” starts by recognizing how you’re feeling. Take a moment. Connect. Breathe. By focusing inward as you carry on throughout your day and throughout your interactions with others, you are strengthening your neural pathways, bit by bit.
