    The Monkey Brain | Are We Acting From Trauma Or Primal Instinct?

    We come back after a long break with a raw, honest update on marriage, moving states, and the moment I realise stress had pushed me into numb survival mode. I share how boundaries and self-love bring emotional presence back into our home and why understanding the “monkey brain” helps us stop repeating the same cycles.  • deciding to publish a less than perfect recording to keep it real  • getting married, moving from Arizona to South Dakota, and losing all downtime  • feeling taken advantage of and why it fuels the urge to run  • workplace stress, vulnerability, and spotting narcissistic behaviour  • fight or flight patterns at home and the “glad kid” role from trauma  • snapping over a small task as the bill for resentment comes due  • finding language for needs through The Bird Brain Podcast  • setting boundaries as an act of self-love and a test of the relationship  • men’s emotional shutdown, shame spirals, and social pressure to perform  • alpha and omega thinking as primal instinct plus insecurity  • social media and dating apps rewarding fake dominance and objectification  • identity, emotional regulation, and what kids learn from our coping skills  If you know anyone else that has that monkey brain hardcore, send it their way. Big shout out to the Bird Brain Podcast! Here's the link to his podcast Just in case you want to check him out.  https://open.spotify.com/show/6ynwHyQt09mCBJLxZ7HCHw?si=7ad19b555dc84092

    Navigating the Chakra System: Achieving Balance for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Health

    Embark on an enlightening journey through the world of chakras with me, Janice Spicuzza, on the latest episode of Woken Brewed Tea. Discover the roles these mystical energy centers play in shaping our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. From the grounding force of the root chakra to the transcendent energy of the crown, we'll navigate the ancient Tantra system's wisdom, debunking myths and revealing the profound impact chakras have on every facet of our being. This episode is not just about understanding — it's about transformation. We examine the nuances of the sacral chakra's influence on pleasure and creativity, and how an imbalance there can manifest in both our bodies and minds. Balancing the solar plexus and heart chakras is also crucial for personal power and emotional resilience. We'll explore the symptoms of imbalance and offer practical guidance for realignment, to pave the way for a harmonious and empowered life. Finally, we'll touch the ethereal, discussing the 3rd Eye and Crown Chakras' connection to psychic abilities and divine unity. Though skeptics may question, we consider the correlation between chakras and the nervous system, and how meditation and yoga can enhance chakra health. Throughout, we welcome you to share and grow with our community, as we pursue the ever-evolving quest for inner peace and self-love. Tune in and take the first step towards a more balanced, centered you.
