You Asked: Why Do We Always Go Back to Childhood?

In this episode, I answer one of the most common questions I get: why do we always have to go back to childhood? She breaks down the three mechanisms that explain why the past keeps showing up in the present — the theta brainwave state, the mammalian nervous system, and the default mode network — and then walks through how the Internal Family Systems framework gives you a practical way to actually change the default setting.

In-Between: The Liminal Space of Life

In this episode, I talk about a feeling I've been sitting with for a few weeks — and hearing from my clients too. That sense that something in your life is about to change, but right now everything still looks exactly the same. It's a liminal space. An in-between. And it's deeply uncomfortable, because there is nothing to do in it. If you're feeling restless, uncertain, like something is forming but hasn't arrived yet — this episode is for you.

Emotional Sobriety & Why Your Emotions Matter

In this episode, Juliana explores emotional sobriety — the capacity to feel without being ruled by your emotional experience. She shares her own story of emotional flooding, numbing, and the long road toward containment, and offers a framework for understanding why emotions feel so overwhelming in the first place. WHAT WE COVER * Why being cut off from your emotions is a danger to your relationships * The two failure modes: flooding and numbing — and why both cost you * Why authenticity is dependent on your capacity to feel your emotions LINKS Leave Juliana a voice message -[https://www.speakpipe.com/julianachristine [https://www.speakpipe.com/julianachristine]] — Get the HONEST CONVERSATION PRACTICE [https://julianachristine.myflodesk.com/honestconversation] Website: https://www.julianachristine.com/ [https://www.julianachristine.com/] IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamjulianachristine/ [https://www.instagram.com/iamjulianachristine/]

Joy is the Fuel with Gabriel McCay

What if joy isn't something that happens to you — it's something you build? Juliana sits down with Gabriel McCay, founder of Blue Lotus Creative, the West Coast Hug Emporium, Common Joy, and men's work facilitator based on the Sunshine Coast. They talk about why expressing joy can feel more terrifying than grief, the emotional thermostat we inherit from our families, what it actually takes to change a generational pattern, and why personal development might be the most radical act of service you can offer the world.

Conditional Love - The Conditions You Bring Determine The Relationship You Get

In this episode, Juliana looks at relationships as living ecosystems and asks the question her teachers always came back to: who do you want to be in the middle of this? She talks about what actually creates connection, what quietly shuts it down, and why the work always starts on the inside. She shares what shifted when she stopped believing her brothers didn't love her. And she talks about sitting in a circle of seven women, each one naming her fears out loud, and what that kind of honesty opens. This is not a quick fix episode. It is an honest one. In this episode: * What an ecosystem of connection looks like in practice * The conditions that open it and the ones that close it down * Why being honest with yourself has to come before being honest with anyone else * What masking actually costs you in your relationships * Why this work takes time and what that really means for your nervous system and your family line Resources: Leave Juliana a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/julianachristine [https://www.speakpipe.com/julianachristine] Download the 7 Step Honest Conversation Practice: https://julianachristine.myflodesk.com/honestconversation [https://julianachristine.myflodesk.com/honestconversation]
