Description
Threshold Moments is a podcast about people who follow their hearts to lead their most authentic lives. Along the way they will 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 will 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:
Some of my guests rely on breathing, fitness, or hot/cold therapy.
Some track the moon, their menstrual cycles, their mind set, or sensations in their bodies.
Others attune to nature, their spiritual team, and/or dreams.
Others use psychedelic medicine and or psychotherapy.
No matter the tools, threshold moments tend to be ripe w/ 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 or 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.

We live in a culture obsessed with big leaps and overnight success. But real transformation doesn’t come from dramatic shifts. That’s because: Small steps are not a consolation prize. They’re the bridge between stuckness and possibility. In this episode, we explore why small steps matter and how they create the foundation for meaningful, sustainable change. Tune in, then join me in Resourced — a 12-week journey to reclaim your pace, power, and relationships through nervous system re-patterning. We begin September 30th. I hope you’ll be with us.

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.

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.

We also unpack how some coping mechanisms can be lifesaving until they're not, and what happens when we strip them away.
