10 - Your Nervous System is Full: A Practice for Creating Space

Most of us are running on an overworked and overflowing nervous system. This episode is an invitation to empty out. Juliana shares why so many of us are terrified of space, of pausing, of sitting in the unknown, and what that costs us in our relationships. Then she guides you through a somatic practice she gives to all of her clients, a dropping in, a way to empty your nervous system, ground into the earth, and call your own energy back to you. Find a comfortable spot. You can even listen while you're doing the dishes. But if you can, give yourself the full time to be led through it.

09 - 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.

08 - 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.

07 - 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/]

06 - 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.
