The 4 Stages of Love No One Talks About (But Everyone Goes Through)

Monthly Practice Drop: The 4 Questions That Reveal Your Deepest Patterns (And How to Break Them)

In this monthly embodiment practice episode of the Perfectly Broken Podcast, I share the powerful self-inquiry process inspired by my ayahuasca integration work and somatic healing practices. Inside this episode, you’ll explore: * The 3 transformational intentions used in ayahuasca ceremonies * How triggers reveal unresolved nervous system patterns * The 4 somatic reflection questions I use daily * How childhood conditioning shapes relationships, self-worth, and emotional safety * The difference between survival patterns and your authentic truth * How to begin healing through body-based awareness and nervous system regulation This episode is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the version of you beneath the conditioning, fear, and protective patterns. If you’ve been feeling activated, disconnected, stuck in repeating cycles, or craving deeper self-understanding, this practice will help you begin exploring the root of what’s really asking to be seen and healed. ✨ Mentioned in this episode: * My Ayahuasca Journey episodes * Somatic healing + nervous system regulation practices * Inner child healing + subconscious pattern work If this episode resonated with you, please rate, review, and share it with someone who’s ready to break old patterns and reconnect with themselves. And if you’re feeling called to take this work deeper, I offer somatic coaching, breathwork, nervous system healing, intuitive guidance, and transformational spaces designed to help you feel safe, seen, and fully connected to yourself again.

Miscarriage, Sexual Shame & the Conversation About Intimacy Most Women Were Never Allowed to Have with Leola (“Talk Tantra To Me”)

This episode is a deep, vulnerable, and powerful conversation about sexuality, tantra, intimacy, nervous system healing, relationships, miscarriage, devotion, and what it truly means to feel turned on by life. I sit down with renowned tantra teacher and best-selling author, Leola (“Talk Tantra To Me”) to unpack sexual shame, somatic healing, feminine energy, sacred partnership, and the transformational power of pleasure. Together, we explore how healing intimacy isn’t just about the bedroom — it’s about reclaiming safety in your body, deepening your connection to yourself, and learning how to fully receive life. What you'll hear: * Healing Sexual Shame: Most of us inherited fear-based conditioning around sex and intimacy. * Tantra Beyond the Stereotypes: Tantra is about liberation, presence, and feeling fully alive. * Somatics & the Body: Sexual shame often lives in the nervous system and the hips. * Turned On by Life: Pleasure is not just sexual; it’s a way of experiencing life deeply. * Feminine Energy & Receiving: Softness and embodiment create magnetic relationships. * Sacred Partnership: Devotion changes the way we love and relate to our partners. * Inviting the Masculine to Rise: Inspiration creates connection more than criticism ever will. * Repair After Rupture: Healthy relationships are built through honesty and reconnection. * Miscarriage & Grief: Loss deserves space, softness, and emotional truth. * Heart-Womb Healing: Trauma can create disconnection within the body that needs compassion. * Emotional Safety in Relationships: Feeling held matters more than having the “right” words. * Pleasure as Medicine: Small moments of pleasure can regulate the nervous system and transform your life.

Ayahuasca Took My Control… And Taught Me What Surrender Really Means

In this deeply personal episode, I share what true surrender has looked like in my life since my ayahuasca experience—and how it’s completely transformed the way I move through chaos, heartbreak, and the unknown. Instead of gripping for control, I’ve learned to soften, trust, and stay grounded in my body, even when everything feels like it’s falling apart. This episode is about releasing the illusion of control, not taking things personally, and stepping into a new level of peace, power, and emotional capacity—no matter what life throws your way. What you'll hear: * Surrender Isn’t Weakness — It’s Power: Letting go is not giving up; it’s choosing courage over control. * Control Is an Illusion: Trying to control outcomes only creates tension, anxiety, and disconnection. * Peace Comes From the Present Moment: You can’t find peace in the past or future—only in the now. * Triggers Are Invitations to Heal: Every emotional reaction is a doorway into deeper self-awareness. * Not Everything Is About You: Other people’s actions reflect their wounds, not your worth. * Pain Is Expansion, Not Punishment: What breaks you open is often what elevates you. * Emotional Capacity Is Built Through Feeling: The more you allow your lows, the more you can hold your highs. * Your Nervous System Drives Your Experience: Safety isn’t found in control—it’s created within your body. * Detachment Creates Freedom: Releasing attachment to outcomes allows life to flow. * Surrender Creates Real Peace: Less overthinking, better sleep, and deeper trust in life.

I Didn’t Realize ‘Being in Control’ Was Holding Me Back in Love… Until This Relationship with Anna Bolender

In this episode, I had the honor of being interviewed by my dear friend and fellow Somatic Embodiment leader, Anna Bolender, on her podcast Radiant You. This was such a special conversation because it’s the first time you’ll hear me on the other side of the mic—being held, witnessed, and guided by Anna’s intuition. We dive into my current relationship, the lessons it’s bringing up, and the real-time growth happening behind the scenes. From healing patterns around control and perfectionism to embodying feminine energy, surrender, and vulnerability—this conversation is raw, honest, and full of truth that might just mirror your own journey. Together, we explored parts of my story I haven’t fully shared before, allowing the conversation to unfold exactly as it was meant to for the collective. What you’ll hear: * From survival to self-trust: I share my journey through trauma, eating disorders, and what it truly took to feel safe in my body again * Breaking the “good girl” identity: We unpack perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the unconscious patterns that keep women stuck * Surrender in real life (not just a buzzword): What it actually means to let go of control while still taking aligned action * Masculine vs. feminine energy in practice: How to move from burnout and force into balance, flow, and grounded structure * Love, polarity, and conscious relationships: What it looks like to create safety, attraction, and depth through vulnerability and embodiment * Softening into trust: How releasing control and honoring divine timing can open you to more ease, joy, and alignment than you imagined Schedule a Session with Me Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.danistedman.com/services] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Perfectly Broken: Path to Power Membership Here⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.danistedman.com/membership] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out the Contact Me to Work Together⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.danistedman.com/contact] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.danistedman.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.danistedman.com] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.danistedman.com] Connect with Anna: ⁠@annaalexbee⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/annaalexbee/] Podcast: RADIANT YOU⁠ [http://www.annabolender.com/] www.annabolender.com⁠ [http://www.annabolender.com/] Let’s Connect ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/theperfectlybrokenpodcast/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/danistedman/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danistedman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/danistedman/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠⁠⁠theperfectlybrokenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/theperfectlybrokenpodcast/]
