050 How Conscious Connected Breathwork Releases Stored Trauma & Emotional Pain with Tara McCarthy

Have you ever felt like you've done all the "right" things to heal, yet something still feels stuck?  In this episode of Uncovering Your Inner Power, I sit down with breathwork practitioner Tara McCarthy of Prakriti Healing to explore the transformative practice of conscious connected breathwork.  After attending one of Tara's sessions myself, I experienced a profound sense of release, clarity, and emotional freedom that was difficult to put into words. In this conversation, Tara explains what is actually happening in the body during breathwork, why emotions and memories can surface, and how intentional breathing can help us access parts of ourselves that traditional approaches sometimes cannot reach.  Together we discuss:  • What conscious connected breathwork is  • How breathwork affects the brain and nervous system  • Why the body stores emotions and trauma  • The connection between breath and emotional release  • What to expect during and after a session  • Who should and should not practice conscious connected breathwork  • How breathwork can complement therapy and other healing modalities  If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply curious about the power of your breath, this episode may open a door to a new way of healing.  Connect with Tara McCarthy and learn more about her services: https://prakritihealing.glossgenius.com/ [https://prakritihealing.glossgenius.com/] Vibrational Breathwork: Awaken Through Breath, Bodywork & Sacred Sound with Prakriti Healing & Wellness Thursday June 11, 2026 6:30 pm: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/701a7c1b/?appointmentTypeIds[]=93157223 [https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/701a7c1b/?appointmentTypeIds[]=93157223] Vibrational Breathwork: Awaken Through Breath, Bodywork & Sacred Sound with Prakriti Healing & Wellness Thursday June 25, 2026 6:30pm: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/701a7c1b/?appointmentTypeIds[]=93622380 [https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/701a7c1b/?appointmentTypeIds[]=93622380] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2499308/support] 🌿 Thanks for listening to Uncovering Your Inner Power ✨ Your peace matters.

049 Healing Through Unsettled Minds: Why You Can't Let It Go (And That's Okay)

Have you ever been through something that was technically over — but your mind just wouldn't release it? You're not broken. You're processing.  In this episode, Jill Ripley opens up about a recent experience that left her stuck in a two-week mental loop, and the simple but profound reframe that changed everything: "My mind may be trying to make sense of something that feels unsettled."  Together, we explore why your mind keeps returning to unresolved experiences, why telling yourself to "just move on" almost never works, and how one small language shift can move you from shame to self-compassion in a single breath.  You'll walk away with:  * A new understanding of why rumination is actually your mind working for you, not against you * The difference between wallowing and "wisdom work" * 3 actionable shifts: name it without judgment, get curious (not critical), and give it a timeline — not a deadline Whether you're navigating a difficult situation right now or you tend to be hard on yourself for not healing fast enough, this episode will give you permission to be gentle — and remind you that the unsettled feeling isn't a sign something is wrong with you. It's a sign something important is happening within you. 🎉 It's our one-year anniversary! To celebrate, Jill is offering exclusive discounts on private 1:1 life coaching packages.

048 The Sacred Seasons Of A Woman (Part4): The Integration

We're coming full circle in the Sacred Seasons of a Woman series — and there's no better place to land than with the integration and the wisdom of the Crone. The Crone is the woman who has finally lived enough to understand every version of herself. She doesn't look back at the woman who people-pleased, or stayed too long, or lost herself trying to be loved, and say "I can't believe I was that." She says, "Of course I was." In this closing episode, host Jill Ripley reflects on the full arc of the Sacred Seasons — the Maiden, the Mother, the Enchantress, and the Crone — and shares why these aren't stages we move through and leave behind, but living energies that continue to exist within us throughout our lives. What you'll hear in this episode: • Why true wisdom is compassion with yourself, not perfection • How the Crone integrates all previous seasons rather than rejecting them • Why society's obsession with youth misses what women actually gain with age • What it means to become anchored within yourself — and why that's the greatest freedom • A personal reflection from Jill on her own journey through each season This is the episode for the woman who is ready to stop judging her past self and start holding her whole story with grace. 🎉 In honor of the podcast's one-year anniversary, Jill is offering special discounts on 3, 6, and 9-session private coaching packages for a limited time.
