When you feel like you're dying

From fallen leaves to umbilical cords, she explores how change asks us to release control, face pain, and tell the truth about who we are becoming.Key Themes:Micro-deaths: identity, place, and rolesChange as nature’s law (trees, decomposition, renewal)The umbilical cord as a metaphor for attachment and releasePain as a necessary passage—not a bypassable stepChrist as exemplar vs. outsourced saviorInte...

Mother for hire
Felicia explores the everyday altar of motherhood—where care becomes love when it’s shared, not hoarded. Through a Dark Goddess lens (Dancing in the Flames), she reframes “self-sacrifice” as a broken cauldron and argues for boundaries, shared labor, and the courage to receive as prerequisites for giving. Pop-culture moments (a “Gatsby gala,” The Hunger Games, and “They were careless people”) help teach our kids what not to emulate—and what to build instead.What you’ll hear:Children as initiations, not nuisancesThe altar vs. the martyr: why love requires reciprocityGrief, regret, and...

Why I Left
Felicia reflects on the question, “Why did you get divorced?” and traces an answer through embodied pleasure, the deadness she refused, and the ways women’s sexuality is outsourced and commodified. An intimate meditation on erotic aliveness, consent, and coming home to the Divinity inside our cells.Key TakeawaysSelf-pleasure can be a practice of presence, not performance.Women’s sexuality is often commodified and policed; liberation must be self-owned, not traded.Erotic aliveness counters numbness and “deadness,” reconnecting imagination, emotion, and sensation.Safety is the precondition for opening; the body tel...

Devastating Unknowing
Halloween, divorce, and the everyday test of wills. In this tender solo, Felicia invites us into the messy middle—the school parade you weren’t ready for, the “you’re so strong” comments that land sideways, and the private moments where the storm threatens to rip you to pieces. This is an episode about soul-holding: tiny acts that keep us human when the to-do list stretches to infinity. Not a bypass. Not grit theatre. Practice.We talk about: letting pain move so it doesn’t poison you; why one small action unlocks big ones; how to “do what I can and...

A rebel’s theology of transformation, usable, embodied, a little dangerous.Episode Highlights The women who never sat down: inherited hustle, tender pride, and the cost of being “good.”The pedestal and the cage: how “perfect wife/mother” scripts sanctify our exhaustion.On virgin myths and hidden bodies...

Systems and Values for Easier Days and Stronger Family Connections (Entitlement Trap by Linda Eyre and Richard Eyre)
Have you ever driven in a city that isn’t well planned? The roads are often too narrow for the amount of traffic, and the flow of streets seem to have no discernible pattern. Navigating in such a place can be tricky and chaotic. In contrast, a city that has planned ahead of time what they want long term often has wide, orderly streets, and the initial time and thought investment pays back tenfold as their city runs much smoother as it grows. In this episode, we talk about using this theory of infrastructure in our own families. It takes som...

How GOOD Apologies Change Every Relationship (Even the one with ourselves) - based on work by Harriet Lerner
We ALL make mistakes. Every single one of us. Sometimes, even with the best of intentions, we hurt people. Although many of us are over apologizers for unnecessary things, we often become non-apologizers when it comes time to truly say we are sorry. We buffer it with defensiveness or ego, and our attempts at apologies fall flat. Our relationships suffer when this happens.In this episode, we address how over apologizing is unhelpful and give tips on how to avoid it, and then we delve deep into what makes a true apology, and how to get...

HOW TO Express Your Needs and Solve Problems with Nonviolent Communication
Communication is always an important space, and now more than ever, we are loving the communication philosophy developed by Marshall Rosenberg called Non-Violent Communication (NVC). The ground breaking assumption of NVC is that ALL human beings have the ability to connect with each other and have needs, and that our needs don’t conflict, but it is simply our strategies for meeting those needs that create problems. These conflicting strategies are what lead to violence or causing harm to each other. This is deep, powerful philosophy that can change the way each of us interact. Whether you are talking to...

Being present is one of our core philosophies, and so today, we dig deep into Chapter 1 of Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth, and discuss how we have used the principles he writes about to uncover our own sense of presence.In our experience, the ability to be truly aware and present in any given situation, is the key to actually experiencing this life. When you are present, you feel awake, able to give and receive love more fully, and truly find access to a higher level of living.Book we mention:A New Earth // Eckhart Tol...

How To Rise Above Our Parenting Triggers
Throughout our lives, we often find ourselves being triggered emotionally by other people’s actions. Maybe a store clerk says something that really sets us off, or a co-worker makes a comment that triggers anger or shame in us. These experiences every day give us the chance to really learn about ourselves. There are few situations that force us to really face this reality than in parenting because we are often pushed to our emotional limits (and we are often short on sleep for it as well!).That’s one of the beautiful things about parenting—it is...
