    How to Trust Connection Through Absence, Change, and Endings | Ep153

    Today we close out a 3-year long season with a tender, grounded conversation about endings, pauses, and how to trust connection through all of them. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph share that the podcast will be taking a break through December and January — returning in some new and yet-to-be-determined format in February 2026 — and as usual, they bring it back to relationship, and what we make things mean. Steph reflects on her past relationship patterns around “breaks” and readiness, while Georgianna shares how this decision to rest represents her own healing and growth — honoring seasons instead of forcing constant productivity. Together, they explore what it means to shift priorities, how to trust love even when it's not visible, and how to stay open and connected to goodness even when life brings change and uncertainty. Discover how: Pausing is an act of trust, not loss Absence doesn’t have to mean disconnection Endings can hold their own kind of sweetness "Like finding gold." – Alma W. "The best therapy I've ever done for myself." – Sanjeev B.

    Shadow Work: The Possibility Gap Between You & Your Dream Life | Ep150

    Shadow work around possibilities explores your beliefs and the optional limitations that hold you back in life — and invites you to let others hold a higher vision for you than you're currently able to hold for yourself. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph close their shadow work series by exploring the fears that keep us from stepping into our most vibrant, aligned lives. Georgianna shares how others once held impossible visions for her — from working at a dream job in the Netherlands to running her own practice — long before she believed those futures could be hers. Steph opens up about her own shadow beliefs around worth, education, and “deserving” to thrive. Together, they reveal how shame and self-protection masquerade as humility, why gratitude can sometimes become a cage, and how gentle embodiment practices create the space for possibility to grow. Discover how: Letting others hold a vision for you can change your story Fear of “not deserving” is often fear of expansion The body teaches us how to hold new dreams with safety and trust "Like finding gold." – Alma W.

    Shadow Work: Numbing, Not Caring, and Self-Protection | Ep149

    Shadow work around numbing, not caring, and giving zero f*cks explores the self-protective side of emotional shutdown — and how to gently reawaken the parts of us that care an awful lot. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph unpack how avoidance, denial, and numbness often began as brilliant childhood survival strategies. Georgianna shares a deeply moving story about her son’s “I don’t care” — and how meeting his shutdown with compassion revealed a tender sensitivity beneath the surface. Steph reflects on her own years of “not caring” and how that numbness was actually proof of how deeply she cared, without tools to manage the feelings that come with caring. Together, they explore how to create inner spaciousness without shutting down, and how to reclaim the part of us that still longs for connection, safety, and care — for ourselves and others. Discover how: “I don’t care” can signal care that’s gone underground Spaciousness builds capacity for love, not distance from it Feeling is the bridge back to passion and aliveness "Like finding gold." – Alma W.

    Shadow Work: Truth-Telling and Saying the Thing | Ep148

    Shadow work around truth-telling digs into our communication blocks in relationship — and in this context, explores why speaking the obvious truths — the ones we assume people already know — can profoundly shift relationships. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph unpack why saying things out loud matters for safety, love, and connection. Georgianna shares how she teaches parents to “bridge the discipline” by reminding kids they’re loved even during conflict, and how those same principles repair adult relationships. Steph reflects on how noticing beauty, grief, and mixed emotions in her surroundings helped her reframe what truth feels like in the body — simple, honest, and regulating. Together, they explore why so many of us hesitate to express the obvious (“you matter,” “we’re still good,” “I care”) and how this hesitation roots in childhood fear of vulnerability. They show how practicing with objects, photos, or pets builds the muscle to say what’s true — and how those small moments change everything. Discover how: Saying the obvious can calm the nervous system Words like “you matter” repair disconnection instantly Speaking care out loud turns love into felt safety "Like finding gold." – Alma W.

    Shadow Work: Performing for Connection | Ep147

    Shadow work around performing for connection explores how the roles we learned to play as children — to stay safe, liked, or needed — become the performances we carry into adult relationships. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph talk about Conscious Relationship Training, and how it helped them unpack their own performing for connection. Steph shares how comfort in discomfort became her norm, and how she learned to stop creating pain as a form of control. Georgianna opens up about how “being nice” was really about avoiding her own discomfort when others felt bad — and how shadow work helped her find real freedom. Together, they explore what authenticity actually feels like in the body, how to track “just-right” sensations before things tip into overwhelm, and why performing kindness is never the same as living it. Discover how: Performances for love and safety begin as clever coping and can end as chronic disconnection Awareness of your body’s subtle cues can prevent emotional over-stretching Real compassion includes yourself — not just everyone else "Like finding gold." – Alma W.
