181 | How to Build Trust in Yourself by Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense | Rewiring Self-Abandonment at the Root | WORKSHOP 3 of 3

This episode is the final workshop in the 3-part series: How to Build Trust in Yourself by Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense.
In Workshops 1 and 2, we explored reconnecting to the body, nervous system awareness, emotional safety, and understanding why self-trust can feel difficult even when you’re highly self-aware.
In this final workshop, we go deeper into:
why patterns repeat even when you understand them
how limiting beliefs are formed through emotional experiences
nervous system protection responses
self-abandonment and emotional imprints
why behavior is often the surface expression of something deeper
how real transformation happens at the root
This episode also includes a guided somatic process to help you reconnect with your internal signals and begin gently shifting patterns from the body upward. 
Thank you to everyone who attended the live workshop experience and helped make this series so meaningful. The conversations, vulnerability, and connection throughout these workshops reminded me how deeply people are craving safe spaces to reconnect with themselves and each other.
The full 3-part workshop series is now available with lifelong replay access. Grab the link below.
Slow Water Retreat | July 25th. A deeper immersive healing experience centered around nervous system healing, somatic work, emotional processing, reflection, and community. Grab the link below.
Closing note: We feel stuck because we’ve been trying to change at the level of ‘behavior’… without accessing the level where the pattern actually lives. You don’t need to force a new version of yourself. You just need to stay connected to the one that’s already here.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

180 | Emotional Healing and Mental Health: When Symptoms Are Really Unprocessed Emotions

In this episode, I continue last week’s conversation around people-pleasing, emotional over-responsibility, and nervous system survival by exploring the deeper connection between emotional healing and mental health.
For Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to open up a more nuanced conversation around suppressed emotions, trauma, nervous system patterns, and the way emotional pain can slowly become identity.
I share my perspective on:
emotion as “energy in motion”
the impact of emotional suppression on the body and nervous system
mental health labels and identity
the difference between managing symptoms vs healing
somatic work, nervous system support, and trauma-informed care
why healing is not about “fixing” yourself
This episode is not about dismissing mental health struggles. It is about expanding the conversation and recognizing that healing often requires more than symptom management alone.
Because we are not just working with thoughts.
We are working with lived, embodied experience.
If you have ever felt disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by your emotional world, or exhausted from trying to “manage” your healing journey, this conversation is for you.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

179 | When Responsibility Becomes Guilt: Breaking Free from People-Pleasing & Emotional Over-Responsibility

Being Mental Health Awareness Month, I invite us to go deeper than symptom management. In this episode, we explore a common yet overlooked emotional pattern impacting mental health, burnout, relationships, and more:
When responsibility becomes guilt.
If you’ve ever felt emotionally responsible for other people’s reactions, struggled with people-pleasing, or found yourself carrying burdens that were never truly yours, this conversation will help you understand why.
Inside this episode we explore:
Why responsibility and guilt often become unconsciously fused
How childhood and/or societal conditioning may shape emotional over-responsibility
The nervous system roots of people-pleasing
Why guilt isn’t always a sign you’re doing something wrong
The difference between healthy responsibility and emotional self-abandonment
How Root-Cause Therapy helps uncover and heal these deeper patterns
This episode offers a therapeutic, educational perspective on how unresolved emotional experiences can shape adult patterns, and how healing at the root creates true freedom.
If you’re ready to stop carrying emotional weight that was never yours, this episode is for you. Listen now and begin exploring the deeper patterns beneath guilt, burnout, and people-pleasing.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

178 | Cognitive Dissonance and The Nervous System: Why You Feel Stuck Between Who You Are and Who You Want to Be

Let’s explore the connection between cognitive dissonance and the nervous system, and why change can feel so uncomfortable…even when you deeply want it.
Building on episode 176 and conversations around gratitude, emotional states, and the “messy middle,” this episode breaks down what happens when your internal world begins to shift… but your patterns, behaviours, and identity haven’t fully caught up yet.
Cognitive dissonance is often experienced as a gap..the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. And without understanding how the nervous system is involved, many people interpret that potential discomfort as failure or inconsistency when it can be magical and the catalyst for manifestation and alchemy.
In this episode, I walk through:
What cognitive dissonance actually is and how it shows up in real life
Why this phase of change is actually a good sign
What’s happening when your old patterns and new desires overlap
How to start working with your system so change feels more natural
The connection between visualization, cognitive dissonance, manifestation,and alchemy
A simple journaling practice to begin bridging the gap between present and future self
If you’re in a season of growth… where things feel different, but not fully “there” yet…
This one will meet you exactly where you are.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

177 | How to Build Trust in Yourself [ Why You Repeat Patterns ]: Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense | WORKSHOP 2 of 3

I’m sharing Workshop 2 of my 3-part series: How to Build Trust in Yourself by Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense.
In Workshop 1, we focused on reconnecting to the body, without force.
In this session, we move beyond reconnection and begin to understand why you do what you do.. exploring the internal systems that drive your patterns, behaviors, and decisions.
Many of us are highly self-aware, yet still find ourselves repeating the same cycles. This workshop helps you understand why.. not from a mindset level, but from the nervous system and subconscious patterns beneath the surface.
Inside this workshop, we explore:
Why you repeat patterns even when you’re self-aware
How your nervous system influences your behaviors and decisions
The difference between thinking your way through life vs feeling your way through it
How patterns are formed beneath conscious awareness
A guided somatic practice to reconnect and listen to your internal signals
You may want to have a journal and water nearby, as the workshop includes reflection and a guided somatic experience.
This work is about removing shame and bringing understanding back to your experience..because nothing is wrong with you.. your system is doing exactly what it learned to do.
Your past lives in your present patterns. Learn to feel, not just think.. and reconnect to the you beneath your behavior.
 
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

176 | Gratitude & Your Nervous System: Why “Being Positive” Doesn’t Always Work [ And What Actually Does ]

In this episode, we explore the deeper connection between gratitude & the nervous system, and why traditional mindset approaches don’t always create lasting change.
While gratitude is often positioned as a powerful tool for shifting your reality, many people find themselves feeling stuck..unable to access or sustain those positive states. This episode unpacks why that happens through the lens of Root-Cause Therapy and emotional processing.
We dive into how your internal state shapes your perception, behaviour, and results, and why unresolved emotional experiences can override even the strongest mindset practices.
This conversation also introduces the concept of the “messy middle” - where real transformation occurs - not in extremes, but in the integration of both deeper healing and intentional emotional shifts.
In this episode, I break down:
why gratitude sometimes works… and sometimes doesn’t
what’s actually happening in your body when you try to “shift your mindset”
and how to use gratitude in a way that actually creates change
This is the work beneath the work.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

175 | Not Everything That Supports Your Mental Health Looks Like Therapy: Simple Practices for Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health

Not everything that supports your mental health looks like therapy..and in this episode, we’re coming back to the basics.
In a world that constantly encourages more - more productivity, more optimization, more doing - it’s easy to overlook the simple practices that quietly support our mental, emotional, and spiritual health in the most sustainable ways.
This episode explores the power of returning to foundational habits that regulate the nervous system, create space for emotional processing, and support the body from the inside out. And personally, I am sharing the simple practices that I have been leaning into lately.. practices I have used for years, and continue to return to as anchors in my daily life.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you need to do more to feel better, this conversation will bring you back to what truly matters. Spoiler, it’s simpler than you think.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

174 | Root Cause Eczema Healing: Why the Skin Is a Window to What’s Happening Inside the Body with Abbie Bradford

If you’ve been navigating eczema and feel like you’ve tried everything without lasting relief, this episode offers a completely different perspective.
In this conversation, I sit down with Abbie Bradford, Holistic Nurse, Clinical Herbalist, and founder of Eliminating Eczema, to explore what it truly means to approach skin conditions through root cause eczema healing.
We talk about how the skin acts as a window into the body’s internal environment.. reflecting imbalances that often go unaddressed in conventional approaches. Rather than viewing eczema as something to suppress, this episode invites you to understand it as communication from the body.
You’ll hear Abbie’s journey into this work, along with a deeper look at the internal systems involved in skin health, including the gut, immune system, detox pathways, and nervous system.
We also explore why the body is always working toward healing.. and what may be interfering with that natural process.
We chat about:
The philosophy behind root cause eczema healing
Why the skin reflects what’s happening internally
What may be blocking the body from fully healing
The role of internal systems in chronic skin conditions
A more empowered path forward for families navigating eczema
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J

173 | Spring Equinox Meditation: Reset, Realign, and Welcome New Beginnings By Bringing Trust to Your Inner Syzygy

The Spring Equinox marks a powerful moment of balance.. when day and night meet in equal harmony, inviting us to pause, reset, and reconnect as we step into a new season.
In this episode, I’m sharing a Spring Equinox meditation that is an opportunity to slow down, release what’s been sitting beneath the surface, and reconnect with your own inner alignment..what I refer to as your inner syzygy.
Syzygy is the natural dance of opposites within life coming into union. Like an infinity symbol.. where both sides meet in the center, creating balance, harmony, and connection.
This practice is an invitation back to that space within yourself. Just as the earth finds equilibrium during the equinox, this meditation supports you in finding that same balance within yourself.
If you’re able to, find a quiet and comfortable place, take a deep breath, and allow yourself this time to reset and realign.
And if you’re local and feel called to experience these gatherings in person, you can find upcoming events through Naturally Empowered Living on Facebook.
If you’re looking for continued support, my Soul Awakening Meditation Library offers a growing collection of guided practices for grounding, emotional awareness, and energetic alignment.. with lifetime access so you can return to them anytime you need.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

172 | How to Build Trust in Yourself By Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense | WORKSHOP 1 of 3

After hosting the first workshop in my new self-trust series, I received a lot of messages asking if the event had been recorded or if a virtual option would be available. Because the in-person event included personal conversations and reflections, I chose not to record the live experience out of respect for everyone in the room. But after hearing from so many people who wanted access to the material, I decided to record the workshop separately so you could experience it virtually.
This episode is the audio version of Workshop 1 in the series:How to Build Trust in Yourself By Reconnecting with Your Felt Sense.
You can also watch the full video version if you prefer a visual experience, grab the link below.
In this workshop we explore why building self-trust isn’t about forcing better decisions or pushing yourself harder. It begins with reconnecting to the body and learning to recognize the signals that many of us were conditioned to ignore.
Inside this episode we talk about:
Why so many people struggle to build trust in themselves
How nervous system responses impact self-trust
The difference between force and intuition
Why intellectual understanding alone doesn’t change patterns
How reconnecting to your felt sense strengthens internal guidance
This workshop is the first step in a 3-part journey exploring self-trust, nervous system awareness, and deeper emotional processing.
If this conversation resonates with you, you’re invited to continue the journey.
Upcoming Events:
Workshop #2 LIVE IN PERSON April 18, 2026
Slow Water Retreat: July 25, 2026
For deeper exploration of this topic, listen to episodes 167–169 of the podcast.
Final reflection from this workshop:
You don’t need to force a new version of yourself. You just need to stay connected to the one that’s already here.
I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J
