Podcast

Threshold Moments is a podcast about people who follow their hearts to lead their most authentic lives. Along the way they cross over some thresholds in which it is clear that what once worked, no longer works. The next version is awaiting. The path is unknown, and safety structures fall away.

Once a week, you can expect to hear from incredible guests about the moments that forever changed them. They’ll share their messy middles, the things they can now laugh at in retrospect, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and the freedom they’ve found by following the pull.

About Threshold Moments

You’ll hear about a variety of navigation tools:

No matter the tools, threshold moments tend to be ripe with heartbreak, excitement, fear, and possibility. Therefore this podcast is also about companionship, because being accompanied and witnessed on the way through can be the most essential layer of support our nervous system and psyches can receive during a time of uncertainty and reclamation.

I started this podcast because I deeply honor the full cycle of transformation, not just the sparkly ends. I think it’s inspiring. And, it lets us know we’re not alone on this journey home.

My hope is that you will feel that in your bones: You. Are. Not. Alone. You are in great company.

Welcome, dear listeners. Today, we continue our exploration of nervous system healing with a lesson on the reticular activating system (RAS) and the power of curiosity.

It’s important to tend to the RAS, because it helps us break limiting beliefs by learning to ask better questions and manifest new possibilities. And we can learn to engage the RAS by crafting “show me” statements and embracing the power of wonder and awe.

These are practices we’ll explore in this 30-minute episode and that I’ll be teaching in-depth in my upcoming 12-week program, Resourced.

Welcome back to Threshold Moments. Today we’re continuing our exploration of nervous system resilience with the transformative power small doable pieces.

Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed or find ourselves in a trauma response, we slip into all-or-nothing thinking. But typically all we need to do is take one step forward to create nourishing momentum.

Brigit Viksnins calls this “small doable pieces.” And in this episode, I share how this practice works and a few ways that small doable pieces have transformed my business, my parenting, and my life.

So if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, underwater, or unable to move forward, I hope you’ll tune in to learn:

  • The interplay between the nervous system and trauma responses
  • How all-or-nothing thinking can leave us stuck in a freeze state
  • The medicine we find in small doable pieces
  • How to de-stack hard habit & patterns
  • Why I choose to speak slowly & how it helps

Because, when we take small doable steps over time, it can change the way we feel, the way we think, and what we believe.

And if you’d like to practice small doable pieces together, please join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can’t wait to support you in 2025.

Welcome, dear ones. Today I am resharing one of my favorite practices from 21 Days of Untapped Support — Right Distance.

Join me as we explore—

  • How to release all-or-nothing thinking & play with the in-between
  • The relationship between right distance, right relationship & right timing
  • Examples of cultivating right distance with work, people & social media
  • How to find right distance when you end up in a misaligned position
  • “I wonder” prompts for new possibilities

And if you’d like more support in practicing right distance as you cultivate nervous system resilience, please join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can’t wait to support you in 2025.

When we’re in a situation that feels bad, being able to find nuance and a sense of empowerment is so important.

But we also get to feel angry, we get to feel tired, we get to feel sad. And we get to forgive ourselves for not being the best parents or partners right now.

So this episode is an offering to you, dear listener. It’s an invitation to check in and prioritize a tiny moment of self-care.

And it’s a reminder that resourcing our nervous system can change how we relate to our kids, our communities, and everything going on in the world.

This week on Threshold Moments we’re doing something a little different.

Instead of releasing a heartfelt interview with a brilliant, soul-centered guest, I’m sharing my own story and offering an introduction to the life-changing work of healing your nervous system.

For the first time, I’m speaking about how a painful back injury led me on a powerful healing journey toward doing so. much. less.

Eventually that guided me toward mind-body-spirit integration through yoga. And I built a very successful business… that I eventually dismantled as I moved through the sleepless portal of becoming a mother.

Now I’m excited to share my story and offer my first nervous system healing program.

I hope you’ll listen to this episode and stick around for our full fall series about nervous system resilience. Then join me in Resourced, my four-month program that begins in January. I can’t wait to support you in 2025.

Welcome, dear listeners. Today I’m in conversation with seeress, shamanic practitioner, ceremonialist, writer, designer, and supporter of women in business, Kelly Rich.

Kelly is dedicated to helping people tap into their inner wisdom, own their intuition and do what they came here to do. She believes beauty is a portal to the divine and her love of holding healing spaces has drawn her to creating an online school, over a dozen retreats, hundreds of events and facilitating thousands of Soul Readings for clients all over the world.

Together we feel into the possibility of what it would be like to tune into our sensitivities and use them as superpowers. We also unpack how some coping mechanisms can be lifesaving until they’re not, and what happens when we strip them away.

Tune in to learn more about:

  • The threshold moment in Kelly’s childhood that taught her how to numb her emotions
  • What it felt like for Kelly to go through a shamanic death and to awaken to her true self
  • Why owning your intuition is not a pass for avoiding discomfort
  • The difference between knowledge and experience
  • A message for anyone looking to live in their purpose

Welcome to Threshold Moments, dear listeners. Today I’m welcoming mother of three, mentor, speaker, and profound community guide, Therese Jornlin.

Therese has been on the spiritual path since the age of fourteen when a traumatic event entered her life and opened her up to what is beyond ordinary living.

In this conversation, we explore Therese’s many thresholds in finding her heart, her voice, her truth, and her power. Therese also guides us through why death is not an ending but a great teacher that creates the compost for the life we are meant to live.

This is an episode that you’ll want to listen to more than once. Tune in to learn more about:

  • Embracing death as a natural part of life’s continuous cycle
  • What it means to reclaim the wisdom of the female body
  • The importance of supportive circles, particularly the empowering energy generated by women gathering
  • Why communal grieving is a necessity for deeper healing
  • Creating safe spaces for women’s personal development

Welcome to Threshold Moments. Today I’m in conversation with musician, guide, and documentary filmmaker, East Forest. Since 2008, he has used music to guide listeners through modern journeys of deep introspection.

Together we discuss his new film Music for Mushrooms, an 82-minute narrative feature film that’s an ode to the transformative potential of art and introspection in a world that is aching for healing and connection.

Listen to hear us explore:

  • Holding the duality of the mundane and the profound
  • Treating “life as our curriculum” and how that perspective transforms resistance
  • The ways that music can be a language of the psychedelic space
  • How the “engine of forgetting” allows us to remember all of who we are
