Episode 8: Triggers Are Teachers: What Your Emotional Reactions Are Trying to Tell You

Episode 8: Triggers Are Teachers: What Your Emotional Reactions Are Trying to Tell You

Have you ever reacted to something and immediately thought, "Why did that bother me so much?" In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Lisa and Desi dive deep into the world of emotional triggers and why they're often about so much more than the moment we're experiencing. Triggers aren't signs that something is wrong with you. They're invitations to explore unresolved emotions, unmet needs, and wounds that may still be asking for your attention and healing. In this episode, we explore: • What triggers actually are (and what they're not) • Why your emotional reactions often have roots in past experiences and childhood wounds • How your inner child influences your responses today • The difference between reacting and responding • Common trigger patterns like people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, fear of rejection, and emotional reactivity • Practical steps to work through triggers in real time • How to use self-awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion to create lasting change Through personal stories, real-life examples, and vulnerable reflections from our own healing journeys, we invite you to see your triggers through a new lens—not as something to fear or fix, but as powerful messengers guiding you toward deeper healing. Reflection Questions: ✨ What trigger keeps showing up in your life? ✨ What might it be trying to teach you? ✨ How would your life change if you responded instead of reacted? Remember: your triggers are not your enemy. They may just be pointing you toward the healing you've been ready for all along.

Episode 7: When You're Pushing Your Edges: Creation, Rejection, and Coming Back to Yourself

This week Lisa and Desi get into the messy, beautiful, uncomfortable truth of creating something new — whether that's a business, a relationship, a new version of yourself, or all of the above. What comes up when you start pushing your edges? Everything that's been waiting to be seen. Desi gets real about the fear of rejection, her inner child work, and what happens when you're running an online event, detoxing from sugar, and hitting burnout all at the same time. Lisa holds space, they do a live "feeler" together, and they talk about what it actually looks like to honor yourself even when it feels like letting people down. In this episode: * Why creation always brings up your unhealed parts (on purpose) * Inner child work and the fiction we write when someone might say no * What a "feeler" is and how to use it with the people in your life (outline below!) * Energy, vibration, and how you show up in everything you do * Micro practices to get back into alignment on hard days * Desi's upcoming free event: Little Girl, Big Healing (June 14–26) Growth doesn't happen in the comfort zone — and neither does this podcast. Come be human with us. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "Feeler" Practice A structured space for someone to fully feel their emotions and be witnessed without response or advice. How It Works One person asks for a "feeler" — the other agrees to hold space. The holder's only job is to be present, not to respond, fix, or advise. Setting the Container * Take a few breaths together to arrive and settle * The holder sets a timer for 2–5 minutes based on what is needed * The space should feel safe, supportive, and loving — no interruptions, no reactions The Feels / Expressing emotions freely * Timer starts — the person speaks freely on whatever they're feeling or thinking * No filtering, no performance — just full expression * The holder stays present and silent, offering their energy as support Closing the Loop * When the timer goes off, the holder asks: "Do you feel complete?" * If yes → close with a few grounding breaths together * If no → extend for another 2–3 minutes if possible, then close with breath Let us know if you try the practice or reach out if you would like for one of us to support you in the practice!  ------------------------------------------------------------- Join Desi's FREE LIVE Event!

Episode 6: The Fear, The Feels & The Launch of Real Talk, Real Healing

We're keeping it raw and real — this episode was recorded just two weeks before our launch, and we are IN it. The nerves. The excitement. The imposter syndrome. The "wait, why did we sign up for this again?" moments. All of it. We're talking about what it actually feels like to step into something big — to put your voice, your truth, and your most vulnerable self out into the world. Spoiler: it's terrifying. And we're doing it anyway. Because the mission has to be bigger than the fear. In this episode we get into: * Why visibility feels so scary (even for coaches & healers) * Imposter syndrome, comparison,a and the stories our minds tell us * What recommitment actually looks like when you want to quit * Why being a mentor doesn't mean having it all figured out * The importance of having a hype girl in your corner 💗 * How to come back to your intention when fear takes the wheel This one is for every woman who's ever asked herself "does anyone even care?" and did it anyway. We see you. We ARE you. 🎁 Giveaway Reminder We’re extending our giveaway through the end of June 🤍 Leave a rating or review for the podcast and get entered to win: • A 30-min Akashic Records session with Desi • A 30-min Birth Chart or Oracle Reading with Lisa To enter: 1.

Episode 5: Failed Launch, Setbacks, Surrender & Staying Grounded

Our podcast launch didn’t go live on the day we planned… F***  and honestly? We ended up laughing about it instead of freaking the F out 😅 In this episode, we’re talking about what healing actually looks like in real life. Not perfection. Not pretending everything is okay. But having the tools, awareness, and nervous system capacity to move through challenges differently than we used to. We share the daily practices that keep us grounded through chaos, including mindset shifts, breathwork, movement, spirituality, and simple routines that help us stay connected to ourselves. Inside this episode:  • What surrender actually feels like  • Morning and evening practices we genuinely use  • Why consistency matters more than perfection  • How healing changes the way you respond to stress  • Small daily tools that shift your energy This episode is your reminder that healing doesn’t mean life stops being messy… it means you move through the mess differently 💗 Let us know how you feel when something doesn't go to planned!

Episode 4 - Real Talk : Grief

What does it actually look like to move through grief… in real time? This episode is raw, real, and deeply personal. Lisa opens up about what she’s currently moving through, while Desi holds space and supports her through the experience of grief as it’s unfolding. There’s no “perfect way” to heal here — just honesty, emotion, and what it looks like to not push things down or rush the process. Trigger warning: this episode touches on sensitive and recent experiences. What We Cover • Moving through grief without a timeline • Guilt, forgiveness, and complex emotions • Why you’re not meant to hold everything in • Tools and support systems that actually help • Letting yourself feel instead of pushing through • Reconnecting to what truly matters Who This Is For If you’re navigating grief, loss, or heavy emotions — or supporting someone who is — this conversation is for you. What to Expect Real conversation, real emotion, and a safe space to feel what’s actually there. Reflection questions from this episode: * Where in my life am I trying to rush the healing process? * What emotions keep coming up for me — and what might they be trying to show me? * What would it look like to offer myself more compassion right now?
