  Free to Want. Free to Let Go #029

  Aug 17, 202613 min

  What if the tension you feel between wanting and allowing isn’t a problem to solve? In this episode, I explore why these aren’t true opposites, but rather two ways that life moves through us, like different doors that lead to the same room. We talk about the quiet freedom of letting yourself want what you want, without clinging to it, and the surprising ease that comes from releasing the need to pick one side. If you’ve been stuck in an either/or mindset, this is an invitation to live in both...and notice how often you already do. Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7

  The River Doesn't Need You to Steer It #028

  Aug 10, 202618 min

  After 39 years as a doctor, and the last 4 years that I’ve been coaching, I realized my worth had been shaped by how much I produced and how many people I helped. Retiring from acupuncture in February, pausing coaching in June, and grieving my mom’s death in March has felt like multiple layers of identity collapsing at once. I’m discovering that presence brings more meaning, connection, and satisfaction than striving, and I invite you not to rush to replace a lost role, but to let the collapse be real and see what’s underneath.

  Ordinary Miracles: A Conversation with Dr. Sara Joy O'Neill #027

  Aug 3, 20261h 1m

  My friend and colleague Dr. Sara Joy O’Neill joins us this week to explore ordinary miracles, freedom, and how we shape our lived reality from the inside out. She describes how questioning what seems fixed can create dramatic change, including her unbelievable recovery from a severe brain injury which had many symptoms and incorrect diagnoses. We also talk about her son’s current hospitalization for a lung mass and how dropping fearful, guilty thinking brings presence and aliveness.Sara explains using feelings as guidance, love alongside grief, and the idea that the nervous system regulates to the world we believe in.

  Do You Actually Know the Person You're With? #026

  Jul 27, 202612 min

  This week I’m reflecting on how I still catch myself softening my words, reading reactions, and performing a more agreeable version of myself. It’s something I’ve seen in many women over decades of clinical work. This isn’t a personal flaw, but a lifelong skill reinforced by messages to keep the peace, not be “too much,” and avoid making waves, especially as many of us feel exhausted by years of performing. Drawing from a recent experience with a family member, I describe the trap of relating through characters and projections, where neither person is fully present.

  Let The Feeling Be A Feeling #025

  Jul 20, 202613 min

  Most of us rush to name, fix, explain, or act on feelings, when the best thing to do is to sit with the raw sensation. We have an innate inner wisdom that already knows what a feeling is asking for: sometimes to investigate it, sometimes to fully feel it in the body without story, and sometimes to genuinely redirect attention to avoid unnecessary suffering without denial. In this episode, I distinguish avoidance from true redirection and explain how techniques are most effective when chosen by intuition.
