  What If Shame Is Not An Emotion? Breaking Mom Guilt and Shame with David Bedrick

  Aug 17, 20261h 2m

  Join me in this episode around shame as I sit down with David Bedrick to reframe shame as an internalized witness that dismisses our lived experience, then trace how that shows up as mom guilt, perfectionism, and self-fixing. We practice unshaming the energies underneath yelling, tiredness, and boundary-setting so the parent-child relationship stays real instead of performative. • shame as an internalized witness that denies and gaslights experience • how trauma stories disappear under “what’s wrong with me” narratives • why “mom guilt” often signals inner violence rather than values • saying the inner critic out loud to make it tangible and answerable • unshaming anger and the energy beneath yelling • tiredness and late nights as needs for rest, freedom, and meaning • why the healing industry’s “make it go away” model backfires • relationship over perfection as the core of resilient parenting • boundaries as an organic impulse that shame suppresses • inner boundaries that protect you from self-attack Make sure you have subscribed below so that you see all of the upcoming podcasts that are coming soon.

  Somatic Meditation and Practice to Come Back to Center and Self

  Jul 2, 202628 min

  What if the answer isn't thinking harder? So many women are trying to think their way through emotions, anxiety, overwhelm, conflict, and stress. But what if your body already knows something your mind can't access? In this guided somatic episode, I walk you through a simple body scanning practice designed to help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and come back to the present moment. Whether you're feeling overstimulated by motherhood, stuck in a spiral of overthinking, struggling with a difficult conversation, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this practice offers a way back home to your body. Inside this episode, we'll explore: What body scanning is and why it works How to move from stories into sensations The difference between present-moment feelings and historical reactions Why your body may be responding to patterns instead of what's actually happening How to create more capacity for emotions without fixing, judging, or suppressing them Practical ways to support yourself through overwhelm, anxiety, and activation Because healing isn't always about finding the right answer. Sometimes it's about learning to listen to the wisdom that already exists inside your body. Click here for working 1:1 with Becca on nervous system regulation, building capacity, and support.

  When Your Child's Emotions Become Your Emergency: People Pleasing as a Mother with Luis Mojica

  Jun 23, 202657 min

  What if your people-pleasing isn't actually a personality trait? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with somatic therapist and educator Luis Mojica to explore the nervous system roots of fawning, people-pleasing, and codependency in motherhood. We unpack why so many mothers lose connection with themselves after having children, how our kids' emotions can become our emergency, and why self-attunement isn't selfish—it's one of the greatest gifts we can give our families. Inside this episode, we discuss: What the fawn response actually is (and why it's often mistaken for being "nice") How people-pleasing shows up in parenting and relationships Why resentment is often a sign of unmet boundaries The connection between fawning, codependency, and motherhood How to tell when you're parenting from a trauma response instead of choice Practical ways to reconnect with yourself when you've spent years attuning to everyone else Why your child's discomfort doesn't mean you're doing it wrong This conversation is compassionate, nuanced, and deeply validating for mothers who are tired of carrying everyone's emotions while losing touch with their own. Because your children don't need a perfect mother. They need a mother who knows how to come home to herself. Guest: Luis Mojica.

  Guided Meditation for Boundaries : Healthy Separation and Feeling Self

  Jun 9, 202622 min

  Today's episode is a guided somatic meditation for feeling into and cleaning up boundaries. Please do not listen while driving and be sure you are in a space where it would be safe to be in a meditative state. Your energy can feel “leaky” long before your mind finds the words for it. We’re slowing everything down with a guided grounding meditation designed to help you notice what’s happening in your body, name it clearly, and reconnect with what is yours. We start with simple orientation for nervous system regulation: sensing the room, tracking tension, and locating emotion as sensation. From there, we explore the strange but real experience of feeling other people’s presence even when they’re not nearby. Using visualization, we picture each energy as a distinct color, notice distance as something tangible, and practice separating connection from enmeshment. Then we build healthy boundaries in a way that feels protective without turning rigid. We call our energy back, let outside energy dissolve, and imagine a shield of light that can be sturdy and soft. We also bring boundaries into everyday life by acknowledging limits around time, space, capacity, attention, and finances, and by experimenting with “right distance” in relationships. To integrate, we invite journaling prompts that clarify what we want and need versus what others want and need, so agency becomes felt, not forced. If you’re navigating burnout, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or just craving more presence and self-trust, press play and breathe with us. Subscribe for more guided practices, share this with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review with the boundary you’re practicing right now.

Because before boundaries become a conversation, a script, or a decision about contact, they often begin with something much smaller: a pause. </p><p>We talk about what happens when conflict, noise, parenting stress, or family dynamics overwhelm your nervous system and suddenly your reactions feel bigger, faster, and harder to control t...
