12 - Connected & Afraid

In this episode, Juliana talks about a phrase she and her girlfriends landed on at a bachelorette party: connected and afraid. She gets into why fear shows up right when connection does, the nervous system reasons behind it, and the coping patterns most people don't recognise as coping patterns. She shares two personal stories and closes with a practice for staying connected to yourself while you're afraid, so you can take one small step towards someone this week.

11 - The Space Between Us: Where Love Can Grow

In this episode Juliana talks about why space is important in relationships and why it can feel so hard to give. We are wired for connection. For our ancestors, connection meant survival, and that wiring still runs in the body. So when we take space, a part of us reads it as danger. This is why space inside a relationship, especially when there is conflict, can feel almost impossible. Juliana shares her own pattern of losing herself in relationships, the years she spent as the ultimate yes woman, and the slow practice that started to change it. She talks about anxious and avoidant attachment, and the middle ground where you get to be in deep connection and still know who you are. Space is where trust gets built. Without it, there is nothing for trust to grow in.

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.
