    The Miracle of Letting Go: How My Frozen Shoulder Finally Released

    Send us a text In this deeply personal episode, I share the unexpected and awe‑filled turning point in my frozen shoulder and ulnar neuropathy journey. After months of pain, loss of function, aggressive treatments, and preparing for possible surgery, I experienced a moment I can only describe as a miracle. While jogging for the first time in months, I fell—landing on the very arm she had been guarding, bracing, and fearing she might lose function in. What followed wasn’t further injury… it was release. In this episode, I walk you through the full journey—from early symptoms and emotional resistance, to surrender, nervous system shock, fascial release, and the slow return of movement and function. This is not medical advice, but a powerful story of body wisdom, faith, and what can happen when we stop forcing and start listening. Key Reflections from This Episode: Sometimes the body locks down to protect us when we don’t feel safeHealing doesn’t always come from doing more—it can come from letting goFear, control, and guarding can keep pain patterns stuckThe body often knows before the mind is readyAsking for help and receiving support can be deeply healingClosing Note As we close out 2025, I reflect on a year that looked like setbacks—but revealed itself as deep transformation. With gratitude, humility, and hope, I celebrate the return of movement, function, and trust in my body. A powerful reminder that miracles don’t always come the way we expect—but they often arrive right when we finally let go. A Gentle Disclaimer This episode is not medical advice. I do not recommend or suggest recreating this experience. Healing journeys are unique and personal. If you are experiencing frozen shoulder, nerve pain, or loss of function, please consult a qualified medical professional.

    The Shameless Woman Panel: A Conversation on Releasing Shame, Remembering Your Worth and Building an Extrodinary Life

    Send us a text In this deeply healing and electrifying episode I sit down with my pod sisters for The Shameless Woman Panel — a raw, truth-telling conversation about shame, womanhood, embodiment, belonging, and the power of speaking our stories out loud. What unfolds is a multi-layered, soul-stirring exploration of how shame begins in childhood, compounds across years, and quietly shapes how women show up in the world — and more importantly, how we break free. Through personal stories, humor, spiritual wisdom, somatic tools, journaling practices, intuitive self-talk, sensual reclamation, and powerful “shame interception,” this panel shows what it looks like when women stop hiding and start shining. Power Sentences (For Any Woman Stuck in Shame) Each panelist closes with a one-sentence blessing: Casey: “I love you. I see you. I hear you. Your story matters, and I’m here to celebrate you all the way through it.” Jen: “You’re not alone, and you deserve love — and you deserve to pursue whatever makes you come alive.” Tracy: “Love yourself, know yourself, and don’t let anyone tell you who you are — and share your story.” Kena: “Name it, say it out loud, and shake it out of your body with music, movement, and pleasure.” Dana: “Get in community, because shame cannot survive storytelling, connection, and women rising together.” Connect with my pod sisters & Support them: Jen Chambers:https://www.instagram.com/j_b_chambers/ Tracy Hill:https://www.instagram.com/abeautifulfix/ Kena Siu: https://www.instagram.com/midlifebutterfly/ Dana Hunter-Fradella:https: https://www.instagram.com/girls.who.recover/ You can find me at: https://www.instagram.com/cataton/ https://www.facebook.com/casey.taton/ You can find what sparks me at: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AgeRtyojY/ https://www.instagram.com/lmbdcelebrations/ Music by: Jason and Ashley Scheufler Artwork by: https://www.instagram.com/graphx_ink/

    A Year Apart: Kindness Then, Self Kindness Now!

    Send us a text In this heartfelt Shower Sprinkle, I revisit a recording I made one year ago—a message about kindness, connection, and the beauty of being gentle with one another. What I didn’t realize then was that this recording would resurface on World Kindness Day, creating a moment of pure synchronicity. In today’s Shower Sprinkle I share:  ✨ The original message I recorded about being kind every day, not just on National or World Kindness Day ✨ How my mentors, Cathy Heller and Kelsey Murphy, influenced her journey toward compassion and creativity ✨ The power of women holding space, encouragement, and community ✨ The full-circle moment that inspired me to add a new segment exactly one year later ✨ Why self-kindness is just as important—if not more important—than kindness toward others ✨ Science-backed facts about kindness and how it impacts your happiness, stress, immunity, heart health, and mental well-being This episode invites you to pause, breathe, and reflect on one big question:  “How kind am I to myself?” Whether you’re listening on World Kindness Day or months later, this episode is a reminder that every day is an opportunity to choose kindness—toward others and toward yourself. 💕 You can find me at: https://www.instagram.com/cataton/ https://www.facebook.com/casey.taton/ You can find what sparks me at: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AgeRtyojY/ https://www.instagram.com/lmbdcelebrations/ Music by: Jason and Ashley Scheufler Artwork by: https://www.instagram.com/graphx_ink/
