  Trusting Your Intuitive Wisdom with Carissa Schumacher

  Aug 12, 202658 minS3

  How do you know when to trust what your body is telling you? In part two of this conversation, Ailey welcomes back Carissa Schumacher, a neuroscience trained forensic psychic medium and sacred ceremony facilitator, to explore the relationship between intuition, embodiment, and self trust. Together, they examine how we can reconnect with our inner knowing without losing our grounding. Carissa shares her perspective on the different ways intuition can be experienced and why sensitivity is both a gift and a responsibility. The conversation explores how to distinguish intuition from fear, why boundaries are essential for those who feel deeply, and how our nervous system shapes the way we interpret what we experience. Ailey and Carissa also reflect on healing as a process of integration rather than elimination. They discuss shadow work, shame, and the importance of developing a relationship with every part of ourselves instead of trying to push difficult experiences away. If you have ever questioned your intuition or wondered how to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation offers a thoughtful and grounded place to continue the journey.

  Embodiment After Shame with Christian Snuffer

  Jul 29, 20261 hourS3

  What happens when shame becomes the way you experience your body? In this episode, Ailey sits down with psychedelic somatic therapist Christian Snuffer to explore how shame can shape our relationship with ourselves long before we have words for it. Together, they reflect on what it means to lose touch with the body and why healing often begins with simply noticing what has been there all along. Drawing from his work in somatic therapy and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, Christian shares how we can begin rebuilding trust in our inner experience. The conversation also explores what it means to reconnect with intuition after years of self doubt, and how staying present can become the foundation for lasting change. Rather than searching for a quick transformation, Ailey and Christian consider healing as a gradual return to ourselves. They reflect on the quiet work of integration and the possibility of becoming more open to love, connection, and life itself. If you have ever wondered what it feels like to come home to yourself after shame, this conversation offers a thoughtful and compassionate place to begin.

These substances remain illegal in most countries; this is just one perspective in a much larger conversation.

  Jul 15, 202636 min

  Can a global beauty brand create meaningful change for body image? In this episode, Ailey sits down with Phillippa Diedrichs, PhD, a Professor of Psychology and leading body image researcher at the Centre for Appearance Research, to explore the complex relationship between science, social impact, and the beauty industry. Together, they examine what it means to create evidence based body confidence programs while working alongside global brands, and why discernment matters more than simple answers. Drawing on more than two decades of research, Phillippa shares what truly supports a healthier relationship with the body, challenging common assumptions while offering practical strategies that are grounded in evidence rather than trends. The conversation also turns to the personal cost of purpose driven work, exploring burnout through the lens of the nervous system and why disconnection from the body can be a deeply protective response.
