You’re not picking a fight. You’re picking yourself.

Saying “Hey, Wait” might feel like confrontation… But what if it’s actually one of the most loving and respectful things you can do?

In this solo episode, Jay closes out her three-part series on the “Hey, Wait” method with the final and most tender step: actually saying “Hey, Wait” to another person. Whether you’re someone who keeps the peace at all costs or someone who only speaks up when you're already at a boiling point, this practice will help you to find a healthy space in between. A way to stay with yourself while staying true to your relationships. A way to speak up without burning it all down.

Because “Hey, Wait” isn’t just about learning how to use your voice. It’s about learning that your reality matters.

In this episode, Jay shares:

• Why “Hey, Wait” can feel so charged, especially if you’re used to staying quiet

• How to turn “Hey, Wait” into a true bid for connection

• How to start practicing in low-stakes situations before tackling the bigger ones

• What to say next, and how to keep the moment grounded in your truth

You don’t need to stand up for yourself. You need a “self”.

Saying “Hey, Wait” is just the beginning. The real magic? Learning how to actually speak from your own reality.

If you’ve been with us from the start, then you already know how much Nancy Dreyfus means to Jay. She’s been Jay’s mentor for years, and has shaped so much of the “Hey, Wait” approach you’ve been hearing about.

Think of Nancy as the “Yoda” of helping people get their insides to match their outsides. She’s a psychotherapist, an author, and, more than anything, a deep well of wisdom. If this podcast has been resonating with you, you’ll love this episode. It’s packed with thoughtful insights and practical takeaways that’ll help you get one step closer to being Radically and Embarrassingly True to Yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear Nancy talk about:

• Why being authentic can feel both embarrassing and liberating

• How to stand in your truth and honor someone else’s reality

• What it really means to “do the work” with your partner

• And how you’ll start to notice your own growth when you take healing seriously

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.
