In this tender and deeply human episode, we sit down in the quiet anticipation of late pregnancy, Hillary at 38 weeks, and open a soft and spacious conversation about what it really means to prepare for birth. This isn’t a checklist or a polished guide, it’s an honest reflection on the inner landscape of approaching labour, and the emotional, physical, and spiritual preparation it calls for.

We speak about choosing a home birth, not as a rigid plan, but as a preference held gently, with full acceptance that birth has its own wisdom. Hillary shares how past medical trauma shaped her relationship with hospitals and informed her choice for where she feels most safe and supported. But more than that, we talk about the power of knowing yourself, and how preparing for birth becomes an act of deep self-connection. There’s breathwork, movement, playlists, and practical tools chosen not to control the process, but to stay present in it.

We gently unpick the pressure many birthing people feel to do it “right” to glow through pregnancy, to birth perfectly, to bond instantly and offer a big compassionate exhale. It’s okay if things don’t go to plan. It’s okay if love takes time. It’s okay to not be okay. We talk about navigating fear, holding space for postnatal mental health, and remembering that birth is not just a medical event—it’s a rite of passage. And it doesn’t need to be perfect to be sacred.

This episode is for anyone moving towards birth, reflecting on their own story, or simply wanting to feel a little more seen in this season of change. May it remind you that you’re not alone, that there’s no such thing as failing at birth, and that the messy, magical in-between is where the real becoming happens.

This week, we’re getting right into the guts of what makes relationships truly work, especially when it feels like you and your partner are talking past each other. We’re unpacking Attachment Styles, Love Languages, and Core Values—and how understanding these fundamental elements can transform the way you connect and support each other.

Here’s What We’re Covering:

• Attachment Styles: Whether you’re secure, anxious, avoidant, or a mixed bag—understanding your attachment style (and your partner’s) is like having a roadmap for connection. It gives you clarity around why you react the way you do and why your partner responds the way they do.
• Love Languages: It’s not just about figuring out what you need—it’s about truly getting why your partner’s love feels different from yours. And how you can learn to speak their language without losing yourself in the process.
• Core Values: This was a real eye-opener for us. What happens when your deepest values clash with your partner’s? How do you honour both without feeling like you’re sacrificing who you are? This part is all about learning to appreciate and even celebrate your differences.

We all just want to feel understood and connected. When you finally understand why your partner shows love the way they do—or why you react a certain way—it’s like having a lightbulb moment. Suddenly, you’re responding rather than reacting. You’re building safety, connection, and trust. And honestly, it feels bloody amazing.

In this deeply personal and candid episode, we share our experience of navigating a life-altering medical complication in the midst of preparing for a major life transition—parenthood. With emotions running high and uncertainty clouding the path ahead, we delve into the raw reality of processing shocking news, how to effectively respond to distress, and the importance of creating a safe space for healing and problem-solving.

We break down the process of moving from shock and overwhelm to grounded action, providing practical tools and insights on how to cope with moments of intense emotional pain. We also highlight how to support loved ones through challenging times with compassion, understanding, and validation—what to say, what not to say, and how to truly be there for someone.

If you’ve ever felt like the world was crashing down around you, or you’ve struggled to know how to support someone else who feels that way, this episode is for you. We explore the power of letting emotions run their course, embracing your own process, and moving forward with resilience.

Key takeaways in this episode:

• How to handle shock and distress with compassion and patience.
• Why “Everything happens for a reason” is not the answer.

Have you ever walked into a room and just felt… calm? Like your whole body relaxes because you feel safe with the person you’re with? Or maybe the opposite — you’ve walked into a stressful situation and instantly felt your heart rate spike and your chest tighten. That’s not just in your head — that’s co-regulation at work.

In this episode, we're getting real about how our nervous systems are wired to sync up with the people around us. From calming a fussy baby with a hug to feeling grounded in the presence of someone you trust, co-regulation is a built-in, biological process that helps us feel connected and balanced.

We’ll unpack:
- Why you feel calmer (or more stressed) around certain people
- How co-regulation starts in infancy and shapes how you handle stress today
- Why you don’t have to “fix yourself” — sometimes you just need connection
- Simple ways to co-regulate with your partner, kids, and friends
- The science behind mirror neurons, oxytocin (the love hormone), and your vagus nerve

This episode is all about understanding why connection matters — and how you can create more safety and calm in your relationships. It’s not about doing it all yourself — it’s about learning how to lean on the people you love.

If this episode hits home, share it with someone you care about. And if you love the podcast, a quick rating and review means the world to us.

Let’s be real — apologizing is hard. Saying "sorry" isn’t just about admitting you were wrong; it’s about repairing trust and showing the people you care about that they matter more than your pride. In this episode, we’re getting personal about why apologizing feels so uncomfortable and how to move past that discomfort to make a real, meaningful connection.

Hilary and Jaxson open up about their own struggles with apologizing — the defensiveness, the awkwardness, and that gut reaction to say, "But I didn’t mean it!" They dive into the common mistakes we all make when trying to apologize (like deflecting, making excuses, or offering half-hearted "fine, I'm sorry" moments) — and why those approaches just don’t work.

But here's the good news: there’s a simple but powerful way to get it right. Enter the "Sorry Sandwich" — a practical, step-by-step way to take ownership of your actions, express genuine regret, and commit to doing better. This episode is honest, relatable, and packed with insights that will help you show up differently in your relationships — whether it’s with your partner, your friends, or even at work.

Tune in to learn how to apologize with authenticity and rebuild trust where it matters most.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of the window of tolerance—a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel that describes the optimal range of emotional and physiological arousal where you can function, learn, and grow. It’s that balanced state where you feel calm, focused, and capable of handling life’s ups and downs without tipping into overwhelm or shutdown.

But here’s the thing: no two people have the same window of tolerance. It’s shaped by your history, your body, and your experiences—both the good and the difficult. If you’ve dealt with chronic stress, trauma, or illness, your window of tolerance may be smaller, making it harder to stay regulated when life throws challenges your way.

One of the most powerful realizations we explore is that your nervous system often mistakes familiarity for safety. If you’ve lived in chaos or high-stress environments, your body might feel most “comfortable” in that state—even if it’s not actually helping you grow. Expanding your window of tolerance isn’t just about feeling better; it’s about retraining your body to recognize calm and balance as safe. We talk about why small, incremental changes are key—because just like building physical strength, you don’t start with a 100kg squat. It’s about introducing manageable shifts that your nervous system can integrate without triggering a stress response.

We also get into the importance of vagal tone—the strength and responsiveness of your vagus nerve, which is critical for nervous system regulation. We share practical tools to support this, like breathwork, somatic therapy, and co-regulation with safe, attuned people. The goal isn’t to avoid stress altogether—it’s to build the capacity to stay present and responsive when it happens. This conversation is about building trust with your body and nervous system, so you can move through life with more ease, flexibility, and resilience.

Tune in and learn how to stretch your window of tolerance in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Hilary’s pregnancy has been a journey of surrender—letting go of control, embracing change, and redefining what it means to care for herself. Pregnancy doesn’t wait for you to be ready; it moves forward, shifting your body, your emotions, and your sense of self in ways you never expected.

At first, the biggest worry seemed small—grieving a wardrobe that no longer fit. But when nausea and exhaustion took over, priorities shifted. The first trimester was a crash course in surrender, a reminder that productivity and achievement were no longer the metrics of worth. Instead, it became about listening to her body, slowing down, and allowing herself to be supported.

This season has been a deep practice in presence—learning to notice the small, fleeting moments of connection. It’s also been an awakening to how deeply ingrained old patterns are. The need to push through, to perform, to be "capable" at all costs. But pregnancy demanded something different: rest, nourishment, and trust.

Through it all, Hilary realized something profound—she was willing to prioritize herself for her baby, but why had she never felt just as worthy on her own? This shift in perspective, this unraveling of old narratives, is the real work of transformation. And it extends far beyond pregnancy.

Motherhood begins long before birth. It starts in the quiet moments of self-reflection, in the deep questioning of what kind of presence you want to bring into your life and your relationships. Who do you want to be as a parent? What patterns do you want to change? How do you want to show up, not just for your child, but for yourself?

Pregnancy is more than physical change—it’s a portal into a new way of being. It asks you to meet yourself in a deeper way than ever before. To surrender. To soften. To trust. And in doing so, to find a version of yourself that was always waiting to be uncovered.

🎧 Listen now and step into the deep transformation of Hilary’s pregnancy journey.

Have you ever reacted to a situation in a way that felt completely out of proportion to what was happening? Maybe a small comment from a friend left you feeling rejected, or an unexpected sound sent your heart racing. These reactions are called triggers, and they often stem from unprocessed past experiences stored in your body.

In this episode, we dive deep into the neurology of triggers—why they happen, how your nervous system responds, and how past emotions resurface in the present. We’ll explore how your brain activates fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown without you even realizing it, and how these reactions can shape your relationships, decision-making, and emotional well-being.

But here’s the good news: You are not powerless. By understanding your body’s responses, you can start recognizing triggers, self-regulate in real-time, and even rewire your reactions to feel safer and more grounded.

We break down how your brain and nervous system create automatic responses to stress, why your past experiences shape your reactions today, and the role of the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex in triggering responses. We also explore the importance of co-regulation and self-soothing in healing, as well as practical techniques to move through a trigger instead of getting stuck in it.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have tools to identify and work through your triggers, rather than feeling controlled by them.

Triggers are body-based, not just mental. They are stored emotional experiences that resurface when something in the present reminds your nervous system of the past. Your survival brain overrides logical thinking. When triggered, the amygdala takes over, shutting down your ability to rationalize and react calmly. Healing happens when you sit with your triggers. Instead of avoiding or suppressing them, learning to self-soothe, regulate, and reprocess can help you move through emotional reactions with more ease.

We also mention Neuroemotional Technique (NET) & Somatic Therapy to understand how emotions are stored in the body, as well as EMDR Therapy for reprocessing past traumatic experiences. You'll also learn about Cyclic Sighing & Breathwork, powerful techniques to regulate your nervous system in the moment.

Have you noticed your own triggers? What techniques help you self-regulate? Liste
