    E89 - How to Heal Your Nervous System & Come Home to Your Body with Somatic Experiencing

    Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or unable to fully slow down and feel? In this deeply nourishing episode of the Sovereign Mamas Podcast, I sit down with Jaya Hollohan, founder of the School of Sacred Somatics, trauma integration therapist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with over 17 years of experience helping people heal through the wisdom of the body. Together, we explore what it truly means to "come home" to yourself, why trauma lives in the nervous system, and how somatic healing can help us move beyond stress, overwhelm, people-pleasing, and emotional disconnection. Jaya shares her powerful personal journey—from working in international development and studying energy healing around the world to becoming a mother of a child with significant medical needs, a path that ultimately led her into the world of Somatic Experiencing and nervous system healing. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ What "coming home to your body" actually means✨ How trauma impacts the nervous system✨ Why many of us learned to disconnect from our emotions✨ The connection between motherhood, healing, and self-awareness✨ Somatic Experiencing explained in simple terms✨ The difference between talking about healing and embodying it✨ A simple nervous system regulation practice you can use today✨ Why connection is the antidote to trauma✨ How slowing down can transform your life If you've been searching for deeper healing, greater self-trust, or a way to move beyond constant overwhelm, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical tools.

    E84 - Life-Friendly Business: How to Build Success Without Burning Out as a Mother & Entrepreneur

    There are conversations that gently remind you… you’re not doing it wrong. In this episode of the Sovereign Mamas Podcast, I’m joined by Erin Thomas Wong — Life-Friendly Business Mentor, author, and mother of two — for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to build a business that supports your life… not competes with it. From leaving a thriving TV career to starting her first business with a 6-month-old baby… to navigating identity shifts, motherhood challenges, and even relocating across the world — Erin shares the behind-the-scenes of creating success in a way that actually feels good. We talk about the pressure many women feel to “keep up” with business models that were never designed for them… and what becomes possible when you choose a different path. Inside this episode, we explore: – The truth about “life-friendly business” (and why it matters more as your children grow)– Letting go of hustle-driven business models that ignore your real capacity– How motherhood reshapes identity, ambition, and success– Building a business that aligns with your energy, values, and season of life– Navigating big life transitions and trusting your own path– Why “doing it your way” isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation Erin also shares her 5-step Life-Friendly Business framework:Own. Align. Simplify. Shine. Evolve. This conversation is both grounding and expansive — especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re capable… but the way you’ve been told to build your business just doesn’t fit. ✨ You’re not behind.✨ You’re not doing it wrong.✨ You’re being invited to do it differently.
