    Undiagnosed, Not Broken: ADHD, Shame & the Wanderer Gene

    Okay so this one wrecked me in the best way. Ann sits down with author Carla Ciccone (ADHD is Not a Character Flaw... okay, using the real vibe not the real title) to talk about the massive ADHD awakening happening in millennial mothers right now — and why so many of us are getting diagnosed in our 30s and 40s instead of, you know, decades ago when it actually would've helped. We get into it all: the wanderer gene (DRD4) and why our ancestors literally crossed the Bering Strait, the epigenetics of "genetics load the gun, environment pulls the trigger," why girls were taught to mask while boys got a free pass, the 20,000 corrections kids with ADHD hear before age 10, dinner table trauma, perimenopause as the great unmasking, internalized ableism, burnout, autoimmune flare-ups as the body's last resort for getting our attention, and yes, talking to trees. This is for every woman who's ever thought "I did pretty good considering nobody understood how my brain works" and is only now learning she was never the problem — just under-supported, misread, and shamed for being wired differently. Grab tissues. Grab your inner child. Let's go!

    Healing the Mother Wound and Reclaiming our Spiritual Birthright With Bethany Webster

    In this rich bubbly conversation I am delighted to share with you, Bethany Webster (author of Discovering the Inner Mother) breaks down the spiritual roots of the mother wound and how it distorts our very first relationship with life itself. There are four levels of the mother wound and we will talk about how patriarchy filters through the mother daughter bond, creating a double bind where becoming yourself risks losing your mother, and staying close to her risks losing yourself. Our conversation traces how this plays out as parentification, insecure attachment, body shame, and the exhausting pattern of performing for love that should be given freely. Bethany shares the true story of moving into a century old chapel dedicated to a mother and daughter and how that space held her through four years of deep deconstruction, perimenopause, unpreferred logistics, and grief. This is an(other) invitation to stop believing the wound is just personal, just parenting, just marriage, just life, and to see it instead as an adaptation that can be healed. I'm so excited to share our conversation with you. If you have ever felt too much or not enough, this conversation offers real validation and a path toward resting in your own worth, becoming whole, and reclaiming the sovereignty that was never actually gone, just waiting to be remembered. HEAL YES. Bethany just launched her Substack called "Living Undaunted" where she continues to explore the many facets of this topic that affects so many of us. https://www.bethanywebster.com/blog/she-who-speaks-from-a-mother-chapel-to-the-south-of-france/ And you can also access her work and book here: https://www.bethanywebster.com/

    The Four Bodies of Existence: Reclaiming Indigenous Wisdom for Healing with Granddaughter Crow

    Today I sat down with Navajo Nation medicine woman Granddaughter Crow to walk through her book Ho Shon, unpacking how each body carries its own intelligence: the physical body's instinct for survival, the emotional body's longing for connection, the mental body's reasoning, and the spiritual body's quiet knowing. The conversation moves into epigenetics and ancestral memory, the cost of a culture that collapses everything into the mental body alone, and why reclaiming ritual and play might be the fastest way back to the wisdom already living in our DNA. This is yet another step for us cycle breaking mothers, who are alchemizing shame and learning to trust the brilliant technology of our own bodies again, instead of everyone else's faces and expectations. Feel empowered to wake up your internal counsel, let your body tell the truth your mind cannot always reach, and remember that you are the answer to the prayers of your ancestors. LFG.  You can connect further with Granddaughter Crow's work here and purchase her incredible book: https://granddaughtercrow.com/index.html

    Solo Episode: My time with Gloria, My Thoughts on Motherhood in America

    I had the honor of meeting Thee Gloria Steinem last week because of an incredible organization called Moms First, that's working for practical policy change to make motherhood sustainable for Moms via universal childcare and paid family leave. I wanted to share my experience, and my thoughts on Motherhood in America for you all, so you can feel seen, hopefully deeply validated, and fired up to join in this effort that needs your assistance. I explained the purpose of the Moms First organization and their documentary "No Country for Mothers," and how you can freely become involved, inspired and create more values-aligned community in your area of the world. I gave a little history lesson about Gloria, because most of us weren't adulting during her prime, and in my view, everything about her is illuminating and inspiring. And then I answered 5 talking questions that were the center of the conversation I was privileged to be a part of last week at her apartment. Thank you for letting me share my experience with you, and for being here, and who you are. If you would like to host your own screening and become more involved with Moms First (YOU SHOULD), here is their information: https://momsfirst.us/doc/

    Healing Generational Wounds with Mark Wolynn

    Mark Wolynn is one of the foremost experts on inherited family trauma and the author of the award-winning It Didn't Start With You — and what he shared in this episode stopped me in my tracks more than once. We go deep on how trauma doesn't just live in our own nervous systems — it travels through generations and through our biology. Through the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and why we struggle. We talk epigenetics, core language, somatic healing, unconscious loyalty to our family systems, and what it actually means to individuate (to come home to yourself)without abandoning the people you love, and also how to do it, without involving those people. Heal Yes. This conversation will expand your understanding of how trauma travels through family bodies, and how to work with that. His book absolutely shifted my own perspective on my family dynamics, and lifted my own shame about how my body had adapted to that. This one is for anyone who has ever felt like they were carrying something that wasn't entirely theirs, and who feels foggy, lost and invalidated in their struggles. You can connect more with Mark's work here, he just came out with a revised edition of "It Didn't Start with You" and new workbook: https://markwolynn.com/https://markwolynn.com

    Becoming Authentically Olivia with, Olivia

    I have another amazing mama and woman for you today! One that was once a stranger on the other side of the internet (and country) and has now become yet another incredible woman in my orbit who has both received and provided me (and so so many others) with the life-giving, shame relieving, hope believing, exhale inducing magic that women naturally intuitively freely provide (when they're in the right conditions). Olivia, a mother of two toddlers, talks about her transformation from self-doubting, overextending, body-overriding to being an embodied, intuitive, confident and connected mama and person. I won't stop telling y'all, that all of this abilities and default settings are inside of us, we just need to be supported and guided (for a period of time) to show our bodies that they are no needed anymore. Summer Safe Inside starts June 9th, but if this conversation just reminds you what is possible, and expands your hope for your healing process and your precious self (and family), that's enough for me. XOXO

    Marco Polo Mama Convo with Corey

    I have decided to pepper the summer with podcast episodes of the incredible women that are in my phone, that inspire, amuse and reinforce my faith daily that women are brilliant, and are absolutely gonna be alright.  You see, my phone is filled with Marco Polo groups of women that have done Safe Inside (my 6 week somatic coaching container) and Safe in the Shadow (my 6 week somatic group coaching container, only available to those that have done the first one), sharing their lives, their thoughts, their most transformative latest song, their favorite noise cancelling headphones, and their empathy, their wisdom, and their precious lives, with each other. It is truly magical, what happens when you smoosh values-aligned women together, give them some shared somatic healing and a container to connect, and you just see what ancient engrained instincts come forward in their cars after drop off, at their office desks, and in the stolen moments they can find with each other. Corey and I talk about her story parenting a spicy strong-willed sweetie pie and how that was her catalyst into this level of healing, how her dynamic with this child and all of her children has shifted, and how she has settled into "realness" in her home, for everyone that lives there, absolutely including her. You'll love her and this convo. Safe Inside for the Summer starts June 9th! Link in my bio. XOXO

    Our Inner Children with Nicole Polidano

    I was a guest on Nicole's Podcast "Heal Out Loud," and the convo was so darn good, I wanted to copy and paste and make sure my people got to experience it too. We went deep into what it actually means to love yourself — not the aesthetic version, not the bubble bath version, but the version that makes loneliness lose its grip. The version that stops you from needing someone else in the room to feel whole. We (of course) talked about the nervous system, and the inner child, and the essential relational experiences with yourself that nobody ever taught you to have, that repair and rewrite what we internalized about ourself and our feelings. Nicole and I talked about real life ways we wonkily relate to ourselves in the middle of life logistics, and in response to life logistics. For me personally, I feel a new level of clarity and embodiment of my authority as a teacher, and public figure, and this episode with Nicole felt so safe for me to articulate my work and what I want you all to know. Thanks for listening as always, for being here, and for trusting me with your sweet ear holes, body and heart. And of course, that little inner sweetie, who is listening always. And if you want to connect with Nicole and her work further, she can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/evolvingwithnicole/
