    212: Meditating with Your Eyes Open

    212: Meditating with Your Eyes Open

    #212: It’s amazing to be able to step out of the life we’ve been living to take time, go on retreat, and step into deep inquiry about the experience of being human. While I love retreats, I also live in this world that includes a shadow side, hard edges, and a tenderoni nervous system. This is where the literal and metaphorical notion of meditating with our eyes open comes into play.
     
    Discover how the concept of meditating with your eyes open is a way to come home to yourself while also being in and receiving the world exactly as it is. You’ll hear how it trains your mind and body to find calm and stillness while meeting the challenges before you, and how it helps you flow with life, instead of against it.

    211: Belonging and Connection

    211: Belonging and Connection

    #211: A sense of belonging is so core to the human experience, but for us folks living in codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing mindsets, we unwittingly hold on to stories that work against our human endeavor of belonging. 
     
    For us emotional outsourcers who are always looking outside ourselves for approval and validation, being mindful of and healing our stories about our ability to belong is vital, and that’s what we’re doing today. I’m exploring what to do when you struggle to feel like you belong, why cultivating connection is actually an inside job, and how to begin fostering it.

    209: Overcoming Fawning

    #209: If you’re tired of spending another day of your precious life in the fawn response, and instead, you’re ready to speak your truth and live in your sacred anger, you’re in the right place, my love.
     
    This week, I share three signals of chronic fawning so you can start to see where you might identify with this habit. You’ll hear how it is a survival skill that simply isn’t necessary anymore, and how to heal from the damage of living in a chronic fawn response so you can reclaim your right to healthy, sacred anger.

    208: Fawn Response and Healthy Anger

    208: Fawn Response and Healthy Anger

    #208: You’ve likely heard of fight, flight, and freeze nervous system responses as ways we protect ourselves when our boundaries are crossed, but there is a fourth: fawning. Fawning shows up for a lot of people, especially for those of us raised as girls and living as women, and this week, we’re exploring what it looks and feels like, and why you might have developed this habit in the face of anger.

Life changer

Feminist Wellness is a life changer for me. I carve out time every Thursday to listen to the new episode during a walk, sometimes I take notes, I often revisit. Thank you thank you Victoria for offering these teachings, I’ve literally listened to #143 Letting Other People Be Wrong About You dozens of times. Thank you for combining somatics, thought work and mindfulness in a way nobody else does. Thank you for speaking and offering in ways that have me feeling heard and seen. Thank you for believing in all of us. My dream is to do Anchored one day 💕

Teaching me how to embrace my deepest me

I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

Victoria has the most gentle, loving, nerdy way of speaking and communicating ideas. She’s helping me learn to love my brain, my body, my nervous system, and even my responses, with such compassion and tenderness.

I was listening to episodes out of order, but I decided that I wanted to start from the top, so I’ve been listening them in order for the last few weeks.

I’m learning the most important thing I can do on this windy maze of healing, is to avoid sources that kindle the narrative that I’m broken, and immerse myself in sources that make me see my beautiful humanity. And, she is one who helps me do just that.

My therapist recommended

My therapist recommended listening to this podcast as part of my homework and as a tool to get more insight on different topics. First of all, I love listening and I have learned so much about myself. I love the compassion, love, and care placed in each episode. I feel seen, and I am so fortunate to have had this podcast recommended to me. I’ve learned about healing from childhood wounds to my codependent dating habits. I am grateful to have found this resource that not only has helped me in my healing journey, but has also helped me tackle tough topics about myself with so much love and compassion. ♥️
