Watch My Shoes

Watch My Shoes

Jena and Rachel travel back in time to visit a seventh grade Lady Cat receiving her first pair of basketball shoes--another memory targeted and reclaimed via EMDR. Jena also discusses the limitations of black and white thinking, and explains how life truly began when she embraced the grey. Rachel learns about Jena's 'survival skills' tool belt, and how she honors the protective parts of herself without allowing them to impede her quality of life--now that their services are no longer necessary. Calling off those guard dogs, yo!

Joni Baloney

Jena and Rachel continue down the track from Teary Town and arrive at the night before sixth grade--another core memory targeted via EMDR. Shoutout to my OG bestie, Joni Sue xoxo.

Mucus Queen

Jena boosts stock in Kleenex by sharing another core memory that EMDR helped repair. This one is a doozy.

Receipts

From glorious, sunny Upper Sandusky, Rachel and I discuss the various receipts my body has kept over the years as a result of my unprocessed trauma. From cold sores to bionic hips, my body has been there for it all--cataloguing and inventorying every unexpressed pain, unmet need, and squelched resentment over the years. Since I live in the here and now, and try not to hesitate on good stuff that enriches my life, I've decided that this is pure gold in its raw, unedited, snot-sniffing, microphone-bumping, phone-pinging, Jimmy-legs-kicking, timer/technical difficulties. I refuse to get sucked into the trap of perfectionism again--so, this is gonna have to be good enough. Full disclosure: I have a glut of content that I may never live long enough to share, so I just cannot justify wasting time obsessing over my use of vocal fillers and an occasional f-bomb. I lived and survived to get here to share what I know--you can suck up the sniffles, yo!
