    #19: Hope, Faith & the Courage to say God with Nele Zeeh and Deacon Shields

    In this episode of The Self Within, we’re diving into a word that many of us tiptoe around... God. Is it God with a big G tied to organized religion?Is it god as in “something greater than me”?Or do you prefer words like Universe, Source, Spirit, Mother Earth, the stars? This episode features two guests from different walks of life: Nele Zeeh – former founder of World of Cacao, who spent years in new age and spiritual circles before an unexpected experience changed everything for her. Deacon Court Shields – a Catholic deacon from St. Teresa’s Parish in Harvard, MA, who has devoted his life to serving others through faith and community. Together, we explore: The idea of “Big G” vs “little g” and how language shapes our relationship with the divine Why so many modern spiritual seekers say Universe or Source instead of God Nele’s story of moving from endless seeking and “new age” practices into a grounded, personal relationship with God How community, belonging, doubt, and courage all play into whether we feel safe using the word God What it might look like to simply be curious—without pressure to believe a certain way This conversation is not a debate, but an invitation to: Notice how the word God lands in your body Reflect on your own story with spirituality, religion, or both Consider the role of hope, faith, and community in your life right now Explore what you truly believe—beyond labels and expectations Listen now and reflect with us on your own terms.

    #18: Regulating your Nervous System through Breathwork with Jon Orsini

    Why is it that everyday stress makes our nervous system think there's a tiger in the room? In this episode, Anabel and Jon Orsini—a certified somatic breathwork guide and faculty member at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health and T. Schreiber Acting Studio in NYC—explore how our breath can become one of the most powerful tools we have for nervous system regulation. In this episode, we get into: Why the nervous system often misreads modern stress as danger Jon’s three pillars of calm breathing: nose, belly, slow Why breathwork is less about oxygen—and more about CO₂ tolerance How to use triangle breathing and box breathing without creating more stress Why emotional releases aren’t the goal—and why agency and safety matter How breathwork helps you build a bigger emotional “container” so you can respond instead of react Try Jon’s 10-minute daily breathwork practice:https://youtu.be/BxwMDP4v21E?si=G9vPc5mS50-jHxvW --- About Jon Visit ⁠www.jonorsini.com⁠https://www.instagram.com/jonorsini/https://www.youtube.com/@Jon.OrsiniAbout Anabel Visit ⁠⁠www.nunatherapy.com⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nunatherapy/https://www.facebook.com/nunatx/NOTE: The information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical or professional advice.
