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.
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 back to Threshold Moments, dear listeners. Today I’m joined by a woman I’m lucky to have known for over 15 years and who I admire very much.
Jennifer Hunter Marshall is a wife and a mom of two with a passion for helping others create the best version of themselves inside and out. She is the co-owner and head coach of CrossFit Garden City in New York, as well as a working actor.
In this conversation, we explore the chrysalis of midlife and discuss:
What do you do when you feel stuck? Could you imagine shifting your perspective in those moments?
In today’s mini musing, I explain how to identify double binds in our daily lives and to find sacred thirds when we feel stuck or unsure.
I offer an embodied practice for releasing our energetic grip on a double bind, and I share examples of finding a sacred third with my family and with students in Relaxed Money.
If you enjoy this episode, please join me in Kate Northrup’s free workshop Wide Receiver next week, and I hope to see you in Relaxed Money this spring.
Today I welcome my good friend Kate Northrup back to Threshold Moments to talk about how she transformed her relationship to money.

In this conversation, Kate guides us through her journey from panicked about scarcity to relaxed in abundance, and she shares how we can support our nervous systems to feel safe around money.

Happy spring, dear listeners.
In today’s mini musing, I’m reflecting on the threshold of the spring equinox, and inviting us to consider how our energy shifts with the seasons, because we are all a part of nature.
Join me for a reflection on the histories of Easter, Ēostre, and Brigid. And listen until the end for suggestions for your own spring rituals.
Welcome, dear listeners. Today I’m excited to have writer, poet, and my high school friend Camille St. Martin with us.
Camille is an advocate for joyous alcohol-free living and the author of the recently released book, Spilled: Poetic Confessions of Drinking, Self-Discovery & Recovery.

Today I’m inviting you into maple season, exploring the symbolism of tapping the trees and the embodied feeling of hope that it gives me.
Join me for a journey into the liminal space between winter and spring, where we find invitations to expand after contraction, opportunities to slow down, and the sweet, earthiness of sweet water.
Welcome back to season two of Threshold Moments. Today I’m joined by author, Yoga Medicine teacher, multi-sport athletic coach, and World Record Holder, Kirsten Beverley-Waters.
Our conversation spans topics from gender to athleticism to endurance to social justice. And at it’s core, I think it’s about the ways that small steps make a big difference over time — both in finding our innermost selves and in straying farther from who we truly are.
Kirsten also shares their process of claiming themselves as non-binary and what that did for them as they went into a 100-mile race.
Tune in to learn how a run of any distance or decision of any size can radically change your life when paired with a deeper intention. I hope you’ll listen and enjoy.
Welcome back to Threshold Moments, dear listeners.
