  • Nostalgia Doesn’t Have to Be the Problem; It Could Be the Portal
    Feb 16 2026

    On my way home from sessions, I do what I always do—I turn my music up way too loud and sing like nobody can tell me to stop. And then one song came on and it completely stopped me. Not in my thoughts… in my body. My chest softened, my breath changed, and for a second I felt better before I even knew why.

    That song took me back to my 15th birthday—grounded, in trouble, feeling forgotten… and then a whole group of friends showed up anyway. Cake, pizza, singing, even changing the lyrics to include my name. And suddenly I wasn’t invisible. I mattered.

    In this episode, we talk about why nostalgia hits so hard—and what if it’s not painful because it’s over, but because we think it’s unreachable. We’ll explore how memory isn’t just a story, it’s a state—and how music, scent, and tiny moments can bring safety back online inside your nervous system. I also share how this connects to EMDR “installation” and why focusing on positive felt-sense isn’t bypassing pain—it’s building capacity.

    If nostalgia has been visiting you lately, maybe don’t push it away. Maybe let it show you what your body still remembers: you’ve been okay before… and you can be okay again.

  • You’re Allowed to Be in the Middle: When Everything Feels All or Nothing
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode of Untamed Voices, I talk about something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart: the pressure to choose, to react, to pick a side when everything feels intense and urgent.

    So many of us are noticing how easily the world pulls us into all-or-nothing thinking. A headline, a post, a conversation; and suddenly there’s this internal rush to decide, to stand somewhere, to be certain. And when we don’t, it can feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or even wrong.

    In this conversation, I explore why that happens — not from a political or moral lens, but through the body and the nervous system. I share personal stories from childhood and adulthood, and reflect on how early we learn that being “on a side” equals belonging. We look at how fear, urgency, and overwhelm narrow our ability to think with nuance, and why certainty can feel like relief when our system is stretched.

    This episode isn’t about telling you what to think or where to stand. It’s about slowing down enough to notice what’s happening on the inside and remembering that we’re allowed to pause, hold complexity, see multiple perspectives, and even not choose a side at all.

    Sometimes being in the middle isn’t avoidance. Sometimes it’s wisdom. Sometimes it’s how we stay human.

  • The Attachment Echo Part Three: The Attachment Upgrade
    Feb 2 2026

    Welcome back to Untamed Voices, where truth is braver than silence.

    This is Part Three of our mini-series The Attachment Echo. In this episode, we explore the attachment upgrade—what it actually looks like to move toward secure connection after awareness begins.

    Attachment patterns aren’t flaws or destinies; they’re nervous systems remembering what safety once felt like. And because attachment wounds are relational injuries, they heal in relationship—through consistency, repair, and experiences of being received without judgment.

    We talk about how secure attachment feels in the body, what healing looks like for anxious, avoidant, and disorganized nervous systems, and how real repair happens after rupture. This episode includes practical language for repair, a gentle somatic grounding moment, and a reminder that calm connection is not boredom—it’s safety.

    Secure attachment isn’t a finish line. It’s a way of being where you can hold yourself and be held, set boundaries without closing your heart, and love without losing yourself.

    As we close The Attachment Echo, this is an invitation to honor your patterns—not as mistakes, but as protection—and to allow your nervous system to upgrade from survival to connection.

    You were hurt in relationships.

    And you heal in relationships.

  • Attachment Echo Part Two: When Attachment Styles Collide
    Jan 26 2026

    Welcome back to Untamed Voices, where truth is braver than silence.

    In Part Two of this series, we explore what happens when two nervous systems—each shaped by their own survival story—try to find safety together. This isn’t just about romantic relationships, but about friendships, families, and workplaces where connection can suddenly feel confusing or tense.

    Through a trauma-informed, nervous-system lens, we unpack anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns—not as personality flaws, but as protective strategies. You’ll learn why one person’s closeness can feel like pressure, another’s distance can feel like rejection, and why these dynamics often hurt even when no one is trying to cause harm.

    This episode includes a gentle somatic check-in to help you notice your own attachment responses in real time, with compassion and clarity—without abandoning your boundaries.

    If relationships sometimes leave you feeling drained, misunderstood, or stuck in the same loops, this conversation offers language, insight, and a way to stay connected to yourself.

    Next up: The Attachment Upgrade, where we explore what secure attachment actually looks and feels like in real life

  • Attachment Echo, Part One: How Your Body Learned Love
    Jan 19 2026

    In this first episode of the Attachment Echo series, we’re going back to where it all began—not in your thoughts, but in your body. Before you ever had words for love, your nervous system was already taking notes: what it felt like to be held, what it felt like to be ignored, what it felt like when closeness hurt or when comfort was steady. Those early experiences became a kind of survival map your body still follows today.

    We talk about attachment not as a label or a life sentence, but as your body’s best attempt to keep you safe: avoidant, anxious, disorganized, and all the blended “collage” versions in between. We look at how each pattern once protected you, why it can be so hard to update those patterns as an adult, and how two very different nervous systems can wind up clashing even when both people genuinely want connection.

    You’ll be invited into a simple grounding practice, a gentle moment with your own heartbeat, and a reflection: What did my body learn about love before my mind had words? This episode is a soft starting place for understanding yourself with more compassion—and for slowly teaching your body that it’s not too late to rewrite the story of love and safety.

    Coming up next: When Attachment Styles Collide—a look at how different attachment styles interact and create patterns in our relationships.

  • This Year I Choose Me: Rise Without Shrinking
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode, I open up about the insecurities that still surface beneath the calm, the whispers of “you’re not enough,” “you don’t belong,” and “who are you to take up space?” I talk about the lifelong pattern of feeling worthy only when I’m serving others, the jealousy and self-doubt that show up in unexpected moments, and the old childhood wiring that tells me to hide my emotions instead of reaching out.

    I share how my journey into psychology was born from a desperate need to understand myself and find healing, and how moments of genuine kindness cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. Even after years of inner work, the old patterns kept returning: shrinking, overgiving, isolating, collapsing, starting over.

    This morning, something shifted. During meditation, I began to cry, and what poured out next became a promise to myself — a written reclamation of my worth, my boundaries, my energy, and my belonging. In this episode, I read that promise out loud, naming everything I’m releasing and everything I’m stepping into.

    This is my year to choose myself, honor myself, and rise without shrinking. And I invite listeners to explore what promises they’re ready to make to themselves, too.

  • Swipe to Clear: Thoughts, Trauma & Reprogramming
    Jan 5 2026

    Welcome back to Untamed Voices, where expression is braver than silence.

    Take a deep breath. Let your shoulders drop. Now remember—your thoughts are not your identity. They’re data. Information your mind has collected along the way, trying to keep you safe. But what happens when that old programming starts running your life long after the danger is gone?

    In this episode, we explore what it means to step out of autopilot and become the author of your inner code. You’ll hear how your brain learns patterns from your environment, how trauma writes “safety” into your nervous system, and how awareness can begin to rewrite those stories.

    This isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about understanding the loyalty of your old programs and teaching them a new way to serve you. With compassion, curiosity, and the gift of neuroplasticity, you can learn to observe your thoughts instead of becoming them.

    Think of this episode as a gentle system refresh for your mind. Keep what’s real. Release the noise. And remember—you are not the code; you are the author.

  • A New Year, Choosing Alignment
    Dec 29 2025

    As a new year begins, there’s often a quiet realization that something in your life no longer fits—not because of betrayal or chaos, but because you’ve changed.


    In this episode, we talk about the gentle, often unspoken transition of outgrowing relationships, roles, and identities without needing a dramatic ending to justify the shift. I share a personal story of stepping away from my parents—not in anger, but in truth—when healing needed space my past could no longer offer.


    We explore why we’ve been taught that change must be loud or painful to be valid, and what becomes possible when we allow growth to be honest, quiet, and grounded instead. This is a conversation about choosing alignment over familiarity, protecting your energy without making anyone the villain, and honoring what was while making room for what’s next.


    If you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter, this episode is a reminder: quiet growth is still growth. You’re allowed to move forward with clarity, gratitude, and a heart that knows when it’s time.
