S1 Trailer 24: The Love You Model: Teaching Others How to Treat You

S1 E23 The Love You Model: Teaching Others How to Treat You through Self Love Part 2

Love isn't just something we receive, it's something we demonstrate. In this powerful follow-up to our Self-Love conversation, host Jackie Vandertuin welcomes back Amanda Halls, Cailea Davis, and Stacie da Ponte for an honest and heartfelt discussion about how the relationship we have with ourselves shapes every relationship around us. Inspired by Rupi Kaur's words, "How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you," this episode explores the ways our self-talk, boundaries, standards, and daily choices become a blueprint for how others treat us. Together, we dive into the connection between self-love and healthy boundaries, the courage it takes to stop accepting less than we deserve, and how practices like yoga and mindfulness help us cultivate deeper self-respect. We also explore the yogic principle of non-harming and non-stealing and how honoring ourselves can lead to greater freedom, authenticity, and connection. Whether you're learning to say no, reclaiming your worth, or discovering what self-love looks like beyond inspirational quotes, this conversation offers practical wisdom and personal stories that remind us that self-love is not selfish - it's foundational. Join us as we explore how the love we cultivate within becomes the language others learn to speak in our presence.

S1 E22: Self-Love, Inner Dialogue & the Practice of Compassion | A Collective Conversation Part 1

What does it truly mean to love yourself? In this heartfelt episode of The Inner Practice, host Jackie Vandertuin is joined by returning guests Cailea Davis, Jasmine Deleon, and Megan Pomeransky for an honest and thoughtful conversation about self-love, self-compassion, and the stories we tell ourselves. Drawing inspiration from the Buddha's teaching, "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection," this discussion explores the many dimensions of self-love—from navigating mistakes and challenges to recognizing our inherent worth. Together, Jackie, Cailea, Jasmine, and Megan reflect on: • The origins of our inner critic and how it influences our lives • How compassionate thinking can transform our relationship with ourselves • Viewing mistakes as opportunities for growth rather than evidence of failure • The hidden beauty revealed through life's challenges • What it means to truly believe we are deserving of love and affection • The yogic principle of Ahimsa (non-harming) and how it applies to self-compassion • The role yoga plays in cultivating self-love, self-acceptance, and healthy boundaries • How our practice on the mat influences the way we care for ourselves off the mat This episode is a gentle invitation to examine your inner world, soften your self-judgment, and begin cultivating a deeper relationship with yourself, one that is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and authenticity. Join us for a meaningful conversation about learning to come home to ourselves.

S1 Trailer 23 Self Love: What is self love

What is self love?  Why is it important and how does it show up for ourselves both on and off the mat?  Finally, why is it important that we emulate self love for others. In this trailer, Cailea Davis talks about where the idea for the self love podcast came from.   In April of 2026, Cailea Davis approached me and suggested this idea for a podcast.  She had been sitting with this concept, particularly as the theme wove itself through all the previous podcasts.  This episode builds on part 1  I'm so grateful to previous guests Cailea, Jasmine Deleon and Megan Pomarensky for sharing their thoughts and their personal stories and why self love is important. This is part 1 of a our 2 part conversation.

S1 E21 Trauma-Informed Yoga in Prisons | Healing, Incarceration & the Prison Yoga Project with Jen Lindgren (part 2)

In Part Two of this powerful conversation on The Inner Practice Podcast, host Jackie Vandertuin speaks with trauma-informed educator and Prison Yoga Project Director of Training, Jen Lindgren, about the realities of incarceration, trauma, and the transformative role of embodied healing practices inside correctional facilities. Drawing from both her personal experience growing up with a father who was incarcerated and her years facilitating trauma-informed yoga in prisons, Jen offers a deeply human perspective on the people behind prison walls and the complex trauma histories many carry. Together, Jackie and Jen explore the intersection of trauma, addiction, poverty, systemic injustice, and incarceration — and how practices like yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness can help restore agency, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in environments often defined by control and punishment. This episode examines: *  The hidden trauma often underlying incarceration  *  Misconceptions about incarcerated individuals  *  The connection between the nervous system, survival behaviors, and harm  *  Racial and social inequities within the prison system  *  What trauma-informed yoga actually looks like inside correctional facilities  *  How body-based healing practices support rehabilitation and recovery  *  The importance of choice, dignity, and humanity in healing-centered spaces  More than 90% of incarcerated individuals will one day return to their communities. This conversation invites us to reconsider what rehabilitation truly means — and what becomes possible when healing is part of the process. This is an episode about resilience, accountability, humanity, and the possibility of transformation.
