Show Notes:
How do we ask for help and guidance along our journey while also recognizing that the things we know to be true about our body are just as valuable as the information that the subject matter expert has? It is often brought up in Sara Cate and Ashley’s client sessions that the client has been dismissed, ignored, given a diagnosis that doesn’t resonate, etc from providers in their life. The responsibility of playing an active role in our recovery/healing process is challenging, especially if we’ve never been taught how. Asking questions is not only our right as humans who live in these physical bodies, but essential to making sure that we have the right people guiding us.

Join Sara Cate + Ashley this week in a discussion with practical tools and exercises you can do to immediately start playing a more active role. YOU are the expert of your body, and when you can combine that knowledge with the knowledge of professionals, some incredible healing can really take place.

Show Notes:
Perhaps you participated in the recent No Kings protest…or perhaps you didn’t…and maybe you’re just not sure about how you should be showing up right now.

We’re in the midst of so much worldly heaviness and to expect ourselves to know exactly what to do with every single issue isn’t realistic, and it’s not fair to do to ourselves. We have the opportunity right now to stay grounded within ourselves while we determine how we can best show up that supports who we are. The story is being written, and we can either grab the pen and help write a story in which we ground even more firmly into who we are, our intuition, and our purpose…or we can put the pen down let evil continue to take the lead.

Join Sara Cate and Ashley in this discussion of showing up in the chaos, staying grounded in self, utilizing support and resources, and maybe even how to keep hope as part of our fight.

Show Notes:
Sara Cate and Ashley focus today's session exploring the complicated relationship between sex and intimacy. Do they have to be mutually exclusive? Do they have to be inextricably bound? Sara Cate and Ashley discuss healthy non-intimate sexual experiences, intimacy with people other than a partner, and how to understand your relationship to both. We live in a society that can create shame for having sexual experiences outside of relationship, or with someone you aren't emotionally intimate with, even though that may be what you are seeking. This shame can create an inability to trust your own body and it's current needs. It is hard to listen to what we want when expectation or judgement is placed on our own sexual experiences.

Further still, they explore how intimacy can also live outside the realms of sex and when we learn to explore the dynamic ways we want to be met by our partner, partners, or friends we can develop wide experiences of intimacy to be held and loved in so many new ways! Join us today and as always let us know what we can do to support your journey with you learning and understanding your body and soul a bit more!
