    Show Notes:
    When you think of what a feminine presentation is, what comes to mind? In today’s conversation, Sara Cate + Ashley invite you to expand on the concepts we were taught about what feminine and masculine mean. Our world is not on a binary, and we can have flexibility instead of the rigidity we’ve all come to know so well. This conversation is one of hope that we all get to return to the felt sense of what we’re experiencing. Join us as we challenge the black and white thinking, and as always bring it back to our bodies.

    Show Notes:
    TOGETHER AGAIN! Ashley and Sara Cate are in the SAME space for this episode because Ashley found her way back to the mountains for a visit! So of course they took the opportunity to explore what it means to revisit a place you have once been to reassess and reflect on where you were/are and where you want to go. Being able to release old stories, challenging expired beliefs, and allowing change to happen can be really hard. Finding your alignment with yourself as you change is an important practice that requires us to travel once again, inward.

    Show Notes:

    Sara Cate and Ashley dismantle the way we have been taught to deal with our self critical monster. They redirect the conversation away from the story about WHY we need to be critical of ourselves to the care we need when we are feeling this sensation. Sara Cate and Ashley explore how we come towards ourselves with compassion in these moments using this sensation of self criticism as a way to learn more about ourselves.

  • Ep 49: Building trust and curiosity with our own body.

    Show Notes:

    This week Sara Cate and Ashley discuss the complex relationship many of us have to our bodies. We have been socialized away from our bodies meaning that the world tells us how we should be in relationship to them. This makes us lose our own agency and discernment around what our body actually needs and wants. They explore ways to cultivate a new and more trusting relationship to our own bodies, however uncomfortable that may be. As always there is an invitation to explore with curiosity what your relationship to your own body is, in order live a fuller, more connected life.

  • Ep 48: Being in Relationship: The hardest thing we'll do.

    Show Notes:
    The most challenging thing we'll do as humans is be in relationship. Relationship with ourselves, with friends, with intimate partners, etc. What we don't talk about is how rupture and repair are pivotal in creating healthy relationships. This episode brings light to the things we maybe don't pay attention to enough; things like what to do in the silence, and how to navigate conflict if you have different attachment styles. Ashley and Sara Cate both share their personal way of showing up in conflict, what they need to move through, and give examples of some practical ways you can support yourself. Having opposite attachment styles, they bring to the table an approachable discussion of how each style's needs deserve to be met, and how each can move towards security.

    Show Notes:

    Sara Cate and Ashley bring you a conversation from their new setup, Denver AND Atlanta!

    Today’s episode illuminates the function of a highly active nervous system, meaning those of us who are running at the speed of light. Sara Cate explores her own internal struggle with being habitually busy as a bypass strategy for the emotions trying to catch her. Slowing down can feel painful and terrifying if you have learned to be "high functioning" or "hyper busy" as a safety mechanism to survive your life. They explore ways to re-pattern your nervous system by beginning to explore what it means to slow down, even just a bit.
