The night before my brand shoot, my partner said something that could've blown up our evening. Instead, I used the most powerful somatic tool I know to make sure we didn't sabotage the entire launch of the podcast.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You're expanding your visibility but your inner circle keeps questioning your moves
• You feel that familiar throat-closing sensation when someone criticizes your creative process
• You're find yourself of choosing between keeping the peace and speaking your truth

• You're navigating a pivot and everyone has an opinion about it

WHAT WE DISCUSS:

The Disco Ball Downspiral: How a simple prop for my brand shoot triggered a conversation about criticism, curiosity, and creative autonomy.

Your Calling Wasn't a Conference Call: Why the people closest to us often become our biggest critics when we're expanding—and what's really underneath their "concern"

The Good Girl Complex to Embodied Boundaries Comeback: Moving from people-pleasing freeze response to articulating needs in real-time

Inputs and Outputs: The somatic audit system for understanding why conversations go sideways (and taking responsibility for your 5-10%)

From Anger to Alchemy: How to recognize hurt underneath rage and transform it into a request for what you actually need

Safety That Keeps You Silent: When loved ones' protection becomes the cage that stops your expansion

TRUTH BOMBS FROM THE EPISODE:

"I love you. What you're trying to do and what you are doing are two different things. I'm experiencing it in my body."

"Your calling wasn't a conference call. Everybody's always going to have something to say."

"Curiosity over criticism. Can we normalize asking questions before making assumptions?"

"Sometimes disapproval from others is a sign you're moving from borrowed values into your next breakthrough."

"Are they trying to keep me safe? And how is that safety keeping me silent?"
