This one is for all of my cycle breaker trauma survivors - big or little t, we’ve got you covered here. Dr. Shahrzad Jalali joins me in a conversation about silent trauma, emotional autonomy, and breaking cycles. We talk about how trauma is stored in the body and the ways it can show up in relationship with others. Dr. Jalali is going to help us better understand childhood trauma, generational cycles of trauma, repressed memories, and the roles we fall into in families. She will also share ways to regulate your nervous system, grow emotional intelligence, and develop emotional autonomy. 🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, or quietly overwhelmed by the invisible labor in your home, this episode will give language to what you’ve been carrying.In this interview, I sit down with a licensed educator and author of No More Mediocre: A Call to Reimagine Our Relationships and Demand More, Laura Danger. Together, we unpack the invisible dynamics shaping modern relationships - especially inside our homes.We break down weaponized incompetence - what it is, how it shows up in everyday partnerships, and how to tell the difference between genuine lack of knowledge and avoidance disguised as helplessness. We talk about the emotional toll of constantly “picking up the slack,” the burnout that comes from carrying the mental load, and the way emotional and domestic labor often falls disproportionately on women and marginalized partners.We explore the Nag Paradox - why advocating for equity so often gets reframed as complaining, criticizing, or being “too much.” Why do reminders and boundary-setting get labeled as nagging? And what does that framing protect?From chore wars to communication breakdowns, we examine the difference between equality and equity in relationships, and why naming, tracking, and redistributing invisible labor can fundamentally shift the health of a partnership.🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

The current political climate in the U.S. is heavy and many of us are feeling it in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of safety - even if we can’t always put words to it. In this episode, I sit down with a licensed therapist to talk honestly about collective trauma - what it is, how it’s different from personal trauma, and why witnessing violence, political unrest, and constant crisis through the news and social media can be so deeply activating. We explore how trauma impacts both the mind and the body, including anxiety, stress responses, overwhelm, and feelings of hopelessness.We also talk about what happens when you’re repeatedly exposed to triggering videos or headlines, how political violence affects our nervous systems, and why social anxiety can feel heightened right now. She shares tools and therapeutic approaches to support healing during this time.So if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep going when it doesn’t feel like things are getting better, this episode is a reminder that your response makes sense and that healing is possible - especially when we do it together.🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

We’re learning how to understand the language of the body and why listening to your nervous system is essential for building resilience.I’m joined by Nkem Ndefo, founder of Lumos Transforms and creator of The Resilience Toolkit  (a trauma-informed framework that weaves somatic awareness, compassion, and social justice into practical, accessible tools for healing). Nkem is a licensed nurse-midwife, somatic practitioner, and educator known for her trauma-informed approach to healing and resilience.Together, we explore how stress and trauma shape the way we move through the world, what happens when your nervous system becomes overloaded, and how to recognize when you’re reaching your limits. We also talk through practical ways to come back into balance (especially in moments of chaos) by learning to work WITH your body instead of AGAINST it.✨ If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you - Nkem also gifts us with simple, practical tools from her Resilience Toolkit to support grounding & self-regulation.🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

Ever wonder why some days you can handle anything, and others one small thing sends you over the edge? In this episode, we’re talking about the Window of Tolerance - a powerful concept in trauma healing and nervous system regulation that helps you understand your emotional capacity and stress thresholds.You’ll learn how to identify when you’re in your optimal zone (where you feel safe and grounded), when you’ve slipped into hyperarousal (fight or flight), or hypoarousal (freeze or numbness) - and learn ways to return to balance.I’ll walk you through how to find your personal “limit number,” how to track your triggers, and how to recognize when your body is asking for rest, regulation, or boundaries. We’ll also talk about why media exposure, chronic stress, and trauma can shrink your window - and practical ways to expand it again.Plus, stay tuned for the end, where I share powerful Truth & Dare prompts to help you practice self-awareness and nervous system care in daily life.📔 GET YOUR FREE DIGITAL PLANNERbloomera.co/free-planner📘 PURCHASE THE SEASONS OF GROWTH PLANNERbloomera.co/product/bloomera-seasons-of-growth-90-day-planner🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

Feminine rage has been silenced for generations -  dismissed as irrational, dangerous, or unappealing. But what if women’s anger is not something to fear, but a powerful guide to boundaries, truth, and healing?Guiding people to relate to their anger in a healthy way - that is what Healing Anger is all about. In this episode, I had the chance to chat with Alejandra Proaño, a therapist, writer, and facilitator with over 25 years of experience in trauma healing and nervous system regulation. Alejandra is also the author of Healing Anger: Transforming Anger Into Growth, a book that has helped thousands of people become more in charge of their response to anger, to others acting poorly, and to the things that trigger them.We talked about:Why society has suppressed women’s anger for centuriesThe difference between anger and violenceHow feminine rage shows up in our bodies and our relationshipsPractical ways to work with anger instead of against itHow healing anger can lead to self-compassion, boundaries, and growthThis conversation is for anyone who has ever been told to “calm down,” “smile more,” or “be nice.” It’s time to honor feminine rage not as a flaw, but as a force.🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

In this tender, fierce & deeply insightful episode, Breazie sits down with writer, parent & intersectional feminist Micah Larsen to unpack the pressures modern moms face, how the myth of “having it all” burns us out, & what it takes to raise the next generation with values of equity, bodily autonomy, emotional literacy, & gender awareness.Micah opens up about her mental health journey, building a village through vulnerability, how she’s disrupting gender roles in her household, & why honest, age-appropriate conversations about consent, abortion, privilege & emotions matter—especially when raising white sons in a patriarchal society.This episode is equal parts truth-telling & gentle rebellion—an invitation to all caregivers & cycle-breakers to redefine what “having it all” means on their own terms.📔 GET YOUR FREE DIGITAL PLANNERbloomera.co/free-planner🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

Rebirth is a process that feels like a wildfire -at first, it may seem like absolute devastation, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. But within that destruction lies the opportunity for rebuilding and new growth. Think of the caterpillar that dissolves into "goop" before transforming into a butterfly or even Taylor Swift reinventing herself with each of her iconic eras. Rebirth can be messy, painful, and challenging, but it is also the path to something remarkable and beautiful. In this episode, we talk about the transformative power of rebirth and how to intentionally rebuild after life’s wildfires. You'll learn to accept what was, welcome what is to come, and choose something different for your future. Plus, we’ll discuss how to become "fireproof" when life brings inevitable challenges and honor this profound transformation through meaningful rituals and rites of passage. If you're ready to embrace the beauty of the process and step into the next phase of your personal growth, this episode is for you. 💌 JOIN THE SEASONS OF GROWTH EMAIL CHALLENGE http://bloomera.co/seasons-of-growth-challenge/ 📔 GET YOUR FREE DIGITAL PLANNER http://bloomera.co/free-planner/ 📘 PURCHASE THE SEASONS OF GROWTH PLANNER ⁠http://bloomera.co/product/bloomera-seasons-of-growth-90-day-planner/⁠ 🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast 🗣️ JOIN THE CONVO I want to hear from you!

Letting go of what no longer serves you is one of the hardest—but most transformative—steps in personal growth & transformation. Whether it’s a relationship, a friendship, old habits, outdated mindsets, a place you’ve called home, or even the identity you’ve held onto, saying goodbye can feel like a deep loss. It touches the core of who we are, leaving us grieving the familiar & questioning what’s next. But here’s the truth: this isn’t the end of your story. It’s the closing of a chapter, not the entire book. Letting go isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about honoring what was, releasing what no longer fits, & creating space for something better. In this episode, we’ll dive into the art of letting go—why it’s a crucial step in personal growth & how to identify the things that may be holding you back. We’ll explore the emotional roots of attachment & walk through practical steps to release what no longer serves you, while learning how to navigate the emotional aftermath with self-compassion. Together, we’ll uncover how to transform pain into power & turning endings into beautiful new beginnings. It’s time to clear the path for your next chapter & step fully into the person you’re meant to become. You’re not just letting go—you’re growing. 💌 JOIN THE SEASONS OF GROWTH EMAIL CHALLENGE http://bloomera.co/seasons-of-growth-challenge/ 📔 GET YOUR FREE DIGITAL PLANNER http://bloomera.co/free-planner/ 📘 PURCHASE THE SEASONS OF GROWTH PLANNER ⁠http://bloomera.co/product/bloomera-seasons-of-growth-90-day-planner/⁠ 🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@bloomera-podcast 🗣️ JOIN THE CONVO I want to hear from you!

[[REPLAY]] Listen to this to turn FOMO into JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) with social media. I went on a social media break so you don’t have to - or at least so you can be more prepared for yours! Even if you don’t want to take a break from social media, this episode can help you be more mindful of its impact on you, your mental health, and your life. This means you can be more intentional about how you use it moving forward. This important replay is coming to you from the past (7-27-23) just in time for the holidays.

Everyone needs to prioritize rest - especially on your journey to growth and healing. Cynthia and I will discuss the importance of rest - rest that you don’t need to earn or feel guilty for.

How to overcome mom guilt & mom shame - because you deserve a break (and some compassion) | In this solo episode, we will focus on understanding the differences between mom guilt and mom shame. Starting with that awareness alone can help us identify both our own maternal and societal expectations of us as mothers. Knowledge is power, right?! 🧠 This one is for anyone feeling the invisible weight of motherhood - both from their own inner mean girl and any other mom-shame-y beliefs we need to ditch. You deserve to have breaks, to step away, to care for yourself. YOU DESERVE A BREAK! And a whole lotta compassion. 🗣 I will shout it from the rooftops if I have to. I will also give you a much-deserved mindset shift to get you rooted back on your feet, practical strategies to overcome mom guilt, and plenty of resources to continue your growth journey. 🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@rootandrisepodcast 🗣️ JOIN THE CONVOI want to hear from you!

“If I told my story, I had already won.” - Stacy Ann Parish | If we have learned anything in a post-Barbie movie world, it is that women's voices are so incredibly important to listen to. And their stories need to be heard. Their experiences are not only valuable but necessary to learn, grow, and strengthen ourselves as a community. You, your voice, and your stories are just as important. But, expressing yourself and using your voice can be a very scary thing to do. I think a lot of us will be able to relate to that - especially if you identify as a woman. And maybe even more so if you are in another marginalized community or have experienced trauma yourself.

We are talking all things BOUNDARIES. This is the final episode of my series with Amy Green Smith. Whether you're joining us for the first time or have been following along with the rest of this series, you're in for a treat. Amy teaches us how to powerfully say no, how to set (and enforce) boundaries with others, and how to overcome guilt associated with any pushback. JOIN THE CONVERSATION: https://www.rootandriseblog.com/join-the-convo/ Let your voice be heard in future content through my Community Survey. It's the perfect place to ask any questions that may come up as you listen to this podcast —you could be featured in upcoming episodes! You can also share your story by filling out a Speaker Application. In my previous episodes with Amy, we dove into difficult conversations: How to start them, end them, what to say, and how to stand up for yourself. As well as how to overcome imposter syndrome and finally stop people-pleasing. And those themes didn’t stop there. In this episode, Amy continues to provide even more strategies for navigating those uncomfortable conversations surrounding boundaries AND overcoming people-pleasing - this time in the form of overexplaining when setting a boundary and holding more of someone else’s experience than is ours to hold. Amy walks us into actually embracing boundaries without the unnecessary justifications. And you know we can’t talk about boundaries without talking about what happens when someone doesn’t respect those boundaries. Don’t worry, we got you. Amy gives us actionable advice on handling situations where others disregard your boundaries, advocating for your children, and enforcing consequences when those limits are crossed.
