Conversations from the Heart
A weekly, soul-nourishing podcast offering psychologically grounded, heart-centered reflections on human relationships, inner healing, and compassion-based communication.
Focused on live mini-coaching moments to help callers shift from reactive, domination-based communication to collaborative, heart-centered connection. Listen for new scripts for stuck situations, new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express ourselves authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#89 - Dear Nervous System, We're Safe Now.
How do we stay connected to ourselves - and to others - when our nervous systems are screaming, our inner critics are loud, and old family patterns are tugging us backward?
In this episode, we examine:
- 2:03 I'm struggling in my relationship with my sister. Why does my body still react to conflict even when my mind knows I'm safe now?
- 7:19 A new, empowering take on going "no contact" (it's not a rejection - it's a reset)
- 13:51 A practical way to set new terms of engagement in relationships that matter, but hurt
- 20:37 I want to set an intention with my family. How can I best interact with them?
- 29:44 I'm in a place of transition, how can I best connect with myself?
- 50:33 How can I tell if the resistance I'm feeling needs to be worked through or if I need to switch course?
- 55:25 Closing thoughts
Join me this summer for my Holding Hope and Truth Over Comfort Mini-Workshops. We'll explore strengthening and centering hope, and choosing truth over comfort.
