The Unfuckwithable Woman
Welcome to The Unfuckwithable Woman - a podcast for the woman reclaiming her power at the root.
This is not your average healing podcast. Here, we return to the wisdom of the body, unearth the truth beneath trauma, and rise from the deep compost of colonisation, patriarchy, perfectionism, and pain. Hosted by Briony Montgomery, somatic therapist, mother guide, and founder of The SomaTherapy Collective, this is where we explore healing not as performance, but as practice - a revolutionary return to yourself.
Season One: The (re)Sourced Woman
This foundational season is for the woman who is tired of bypassing her body and ready to embody her roots. We explore nervous system repair, embodied grief, intergenerational healing, the myth of regulation, archetypes, somatic safety, the power of rhythm, and remembering your wholeness in a world that profits from your disconnection.
Whether you’re a practitioner, a mother, or a woman navigating the messy, sacred terrain of becoming - you belong here.

In this soul-deep episode, Briony Montgomery invites you into the sacred terrain of your nervous system - where shutdown, freeze, rage, and grief live in the body - and where your power is quietly waiting to be reclaimed.
We unravel how dysregulation isn't just personal, but ancestral and cultural - shaped by trauma, colonisation, the mother wound, and archetypes like the Martyr, the Parentified Child, and the Death Mother. Together, we name how women in midlife often become hollowed out, dried up, tired of holding it all and how tending to your nervous system is the first act of revolt and return.
This episode explores:
- What dysregulation really looks like (and how we get stuck in it)
- How your nervous system was shaped by your lineage and environment
- The functional freeze state (and why you can’t "just try harder")
- Why grief and anger are vital, sacred, and necessary
- Somatic pathways to move from collapse into connection, from exhaustion into reclamation
This isn’t about self-improvement. It’s about embodied sovereignty.
If you’re walking with big feelings, invisible trauma, or a yearning to come home to yourself - this episode is your medicine.
