Send a text What if the calm you present to the world is actually a costume your nervous system stitched together to keep you safe? We go straight at the quiet habit of “performing peace” and why so many high-functioning, caregiving women confuse numbness with resilience. Keri shares the rupture that changed everything—miscarriage and the grief no mantra could touch—and the practical path that followed: therapy, emotional intelligence, and somatic practices that made feeling safe again. Acro...
Send a text When the world feels loud and heavy, it’s easy to feel pulled away from yourself. The scrolling, the missed practice you paid for, the quiet ache of anger, grief, and love all living in one body at once. In this episode, Keri speaks directly to that moment—when your nervous system is overwhelmed and even the tools you trust feel just out of reach. With honesty and care, we explore what dysregulation actually looks like in real life and why fight, flight, freeze, and fawn narrow o...
Send a text What if the missing piece in your relationship isn’t better communication—but more connection with yourSelf? In this week’s episode, I sit down with love and relationship coach Emily Galligan, known as The Marriage Mystic, to talk about what really creates connection that lasts. We explore how so many growth-oriented women end up caught in the cycle of over-giving, over-controlling, and carrying the emotional load—and how nervous system safety changes everything. Before you ever...
Send us a text A giant teddy bear of a golden doodle and a 4 a.m. cuddle sparked a conversation about what it really means to live with presence. We follow that thread from a messy, sweet living room moment into the deeper work of choosing curiosity and intimacy with ourselves—on the mat, in your breath, and in the small decisions that shape your relationships. Along the way, we explore how the brain leans on prediction, why presence takes energy, and how autopilot can dull your connection un...
Send us a text What if midlife wasn’t the beginning of decline, but the start of your most powerful, connected chapter yet? In this episode, I sit down with menopause and midlife health coach Bonnie Papajohn to talk honestly about what’s really happening in your body—and how to work with it, not against it. We cover the full picture of perimenopause and menopause: hormonal shifts, brain fog, fatigue, changing metabolism, and the stress that makes it all harder. Bonnie shares her own ...
Send us a text If you’re feeling the pull to begin again — but not from pressure or perfection — this episode is your invitation to start fresh in a way that actually feels like you. Together, we’ll explore how to set the tone for your year from your body’s wisdom instead of your mind’s expectations. You’ll learn how to work with your nervous system to create calm, lasting change and how to use small, meaningful actions to build self-trust and peace from the inside out. We’ll talk a...
Send us a text If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open right now — same. This episode is about the invisible weight of December, the pressure to start fresh, and why stillness can feel downright uncomfortable when you’ve been running on fumes. I share honestly about my own resistance to slowing down — how I found myself avoiding meditation, what fight, flight, freeze, and fawn actually look like in real life, and the moment I realized even joyful things can overload the senses. Togethe...
Send us a text If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, exhausted from trying “all the things,” or wondered why your body still feels off even though your labs look “normal,” this episode is for you. I’m sitting down with Katie Poterala, a bespoke jeweler turned Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to unpack her journey through mold illness, medical gaslighting, and the long road back to alignment. Katie’s story is raw, honest, and incredibly relatable — because it mirrors what so m...
Send us a text If you’ve ever fallen into the “on-again, off-again” yoga cycle — promising yourself you’ll get back into it, then life gets loud again or longed to have yoga be a bigger part of your life yet struggled with how — this conversation is for you. We talk about what really keeps you from staying consistent with your yoga practice (and it’s not laziness). It’s nervous system overload, the invisible weight of life, motherhood and partnership, and the perfectionism that says if I can...
Send us a text Most of us aren’t stuck because we don’t want change — we’re stuck because our bodies are still wired for what feels familiar. In this episode, I share what it really takes to grow when your nervous system keeps choosing the past. You’ll learn how to make peace with the parts of you that resist, move through fear without shutting down, and start letting yourself receive more love, ease, and joy than you ever thought possible. We’ll talk about why growth can feel uncomfortable ...
Send us a text What if the way you breathe is quietly shaping your energy, sleep, and emotional resilience? In this conversation with Perrin White — speech-language pathologist, myofunctional therapist, and breath coach — we explore the power of functional breathing in the most down-to-earth, human way. From tongue posture and nasal breathing to how your ribs move when you inhale, Perrin shares how small, anatomy-based shifts can completely change how you feel in your body. You’ll learn how t...
Send us a text The holidays can be beautiful — and also… a lot. Between family dynamics, packed schedules, and trying to keep everyone happy, it’s easy to lose yourself in the chaos and call it “holiday spirit.” In this episode, we get honest about why this season can stir so much up — from childhood conditioning and generational patterns to the simple truth that your nervous system doesn’t love broken routines. You’ll learn how to tune into your emotions as information, how to create quick ...
Send us a text What if your spiritual practice wasn’t about escape or perfection — but about learning to be deeply human? In this rich and soulful conversation, Keri sits down with David Harshada Wagner — meditation teacher, artist, father, and yogic philosopher — to explore how devotion, discipline, and pleasure all weave together into a life of meaning. They talk about Harshada's journey from addiction recovery to spiritual teacher, the “God-sized hole” so many try to fill, and how to bui...
Send us a text Standing on the threshold of wanting change, can feel both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Because it brings you up against the edge of your own patterns, triggers the emotions that can make you spiral and lead to some serious overthinking. In this episode, we'll explore a gentler way to get what you really want by learning how to expand yourSelf from within —so your growth stops feeling like a slippery slope and more like a return to yourself. We talk through what t...
Send us a text If you’ve ever sat down to meditate and instantly felt restless, distracted, or frustrated — you’re not doing it wrong. Your brain hasn’t failed you… your meditation method just hasn’t caught up with your life. In this episode, Somatic Yoga Therapist and Mentor Keri Marino shares why old-school silent meditation often feels punishing to our modern, phone-trained brains — and how to create a practice that actually feels good in your body and works for your nervous system. You...
Send us a text Have you ever considered that what you're doing on your yoga mat and to heal the tender parts of yourself (the inner/shadow work) has ripple effects far beyond what you could ever imagine? In this episode, Keri shares a vision and soft truth of the real legacy of the work you're doing and it's capacity to not only improve your life (that's major) but also your ancestral line, your kids and real talk - the world at large. Keri opens up about her own experience navigating o...
Send us a text Some patterns don’t start as choices—they start as coping. We open a brave, practical conversation about the mother wound: how the gap between what you needed and what you received shaped your nervous system, and how to gently, steadily change that wiring now. Without blame or rehashing every painful moment, we map the real terrain—attachment, attunement, and the lifelong echoes that touch everything from stress to body image, money, intimacy, and spirituality. Drawing on year...
Send us a text If your mind “gets it” but your body still feels stuck, this episode is for you. We talk with Courtney from Hearts for Hope Therapy about how art therapy, somatic practices, and yoga reach the places words can’t—helping women soften perfectionism, create nervous system safety, and move through grief and identity shifts with more ease. Through stories of motherhood, intuition, and messy creative expression, you’ll hear practical tools, gentle truth-telling, and real permission t...
Send us a text Your body is not a project to be fixed or perfected – it's a sacred temple housing your deepest wisdom and innate healing capacities. Yet for most women, the journey to this realization is complicated by years of cultural programming that keeps us chasing impossible ideals. Beauty, diet, and puritanical culture have sold us myths about what makes our bodies acceptable, worthy, and good. These forces teach us that love, safety, and acceptance must be earned through checking inv...
Send us a text The sacred practice of yoga holds tremendous power for healing, integration, and transformation—but with that power comes the responsibility to navigate the yoga world with awareness and discernment. Drawing from personal experience and years of professional observation, I pull back the curtain on the sometimes uncomfortable reality of yoga cults and high-control groups that have caused harm to vulnerable practitioners. From fallen leaders like John Friend of Anusara Yoga to t...
