Episode 2: The Tools that Changed Us

Overview:

In this follow-up to our origin story, we each open up about the tangible practices and deep experiences that have shifted the way we live, relate, and heal. These aren’t tips or how-to’s—they’re personal integrations: the things we’ve tried, tested, resisted, and returned to.

 

We talk about the tools that have helped us soften back into our bodies, move through stuckness, rebuild our nervous systems, and stay connected to something wiser than our fear. These tools didn’t “fix” us, but they’ve helped us feel more at home in ourselves—and that’s what this podcast is all about.

 

Note: Like Episode 1, this was recorded later in the season as we were experimenting with different recording setups and formats. Season 1 is intentionally raw and nonlinear—a container for exploration more than polish. Season 2 will feel more refined, but we love the realness this season holds.

 

In this episode, we explore:

 

• The somatic practices and therapies that taught us how to come back into our bodies
• How we each relate to control, surrender, and integration
• Why some tools take time to work—and how we know when we’re ready to receive them
• What it feels like to stop abandoning yourself when things get hard
