The Unfuckwithable Woman

Welcome to The Unfuckwithable Woman - a podcast for the woman reclaiming her power at the root.This is not your average healing podcast.

We explore nervous system repair, embodied grief, intergenerational healing, the myth of regulation, archetypes, somatic safety, the power of rhythm, and remembering your wholeness in a world that profits from your disconnection.Whether you’re a practiti

    Episode 20: Anxious Attachment In High-Achieving Women: Why Success Never Fixes It

    Message me at [email protected] can be the most capable woman in the room and still feel frantic the moment someone pulls back. In this episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, somatic therapist Briony Montgomery reframes anxious attachment as a nervous system strategy rather than a personality flaw, and explains why achievement, however impressive, was never going to regulate a dysregulated attachment system.The conversation traces this pattern back through the mother wound, since attachment style forms in the first relationship, long before dating ever enters the picture, and further into the ancestral line, naming how these patterns travel down a family without anyone choosing them. Briony then zooms out to the culture itself: why secure attachment is genuinely hard to build inside a world that isolates us, measures women by their functioning, and rewards outsourced validation, and why there's a real swing happening back toward community and co-regulation.The episode closes with an extended body-based practice for the moment an old attachment wound activates, and a redefinition of success itself, not achievement, but capacity, built through safety and the release of stored charge from personal, ancestral and cultural sources alike.Book a session at www.thesomatherapycollective.com if this episode named something in you today.Continue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 19: Why “Just Calm Down” Never Works: The Nervous System Truth Behind Burnout

    Message me at [email protected]'ve tried breathing apps, bubble baths, and telling yourself to just relax. None of it touched the exhaustion, because burnout was never a mindset problem. It's a nervous system that's been stuck in fight or flight for so long it forgot there was another option.In this episode, somatic therapist Briony Montgomery breaks down what nervous system regulation actually means, why willpower can't override a dysregulated body, and what capacity looks like instead of calm on command. Then the conversation goes deeper: into the mother wound, ancestral wounding, and what Briony calls death mother culture, the wider pattern of disconnection so many of us are trying to regulate our bodies inside of.Expect a personal story of rupture and repair, a simple body-based practice you can use the moment the episode ends, and an honest look at why your burnout was never just yours to fix alone.Ready to go deeper than an episode can hold?

    Episode 18: Motherline Repair - Healing What Your Mother Couldn't Give You.

    Message me at [email protected] we begin, I want you to think about your mother. Not the story you've told about her a hundred times. Her. The actual woman. What did she carry that she never put down.In this episode I go into the Motherline, the living thread of transmission that runs through the female line of your ancestry. Not a metaphor. An actual biological and epigenetic inheritance passed from mother to daughter, grandmother to granddaughter, and back through every woman who came before you. Your grandmother's grief, her silences, her survival, formed the environment your mother's earliest biology grew inside. Your mother's grief, silences, and survival formed the environment you grew inside. This is what modern epigenetics is confirming, what women have known in their bodies for generations.I unpack what actually gets passed down, not as story but as sensation. A nervous system that learned to brace before the threat arrived. A relationship to your own needs that says you're too much, or that love is conditional on your compliance. I talk about the mother wound as I see it in clinic, why insight alone rarely shifts it, and what I call the mother rupture, our severing not just from our own mothers but from life, from earth, from belonging itself.I share a personal reflection on the moment I understood I would be the one to break the cycle in my own line, and I guide you through a short somatic grief practice you can use whenever the mother wound surfaces in your body. This is not gentle content. I promise you it is loving content.If this episode lands somewhere in your body, the next step is a conversation.

    Episode 17: Capacity and Repair. What Your Nervous System Actually Needs to Build Real Resilience

    Message me at [email protected] is not the ability to never break. It is the ability to return.In this episode Briony Montgomery, somatic psychotherapist and founder of The SomaTherapy Collective, explores nervous system capacity and the rupture and repair model. Learn why small stresses can feel catastrophic when your capacity is narrow, how protective adaptations from childhood shape your nervous system's defaults in adulthood, and why the absence of repair, not the rupture itself, is what actually causes harm.Briony shares her own rupture and repair practice, built over eighteen years of motherhood, and explains titration, the somatic method of moving between activation and settling to safely widen your window of tolerance.Topics covered include nervous system capacity, window of tolerance, hypervigilance, rupture and repair, titration, intergenerational patterns, and building resilience without suppression or perfection.Subscribe to The Unfuckwithable Woman for new episodes every fortnight.Book a free 20 minute Clarity Session at thesomatherapycollective.com/20-minute-clarity-sessionBook a 1 to 1 somatic therapy session at thesomatherapycollective.com/schedule-a-callContinue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Why Your Nervous System Is Not Broken. It's Brilliant · Episode 16

    Message me at [email protected] nervous system is not misfiring. It is doing exactly what it was built to do.In Episode 16 of The Unfuckwithable Woman, somatic psychotherapist, counsellor, educator, activist and leader Briony Montgomery offers a complete reframe of the nervous system regulation conversation and names exactly why most of what you're seeing in the neurowellness space right now is missing the point.Nervous system regulation is the #1 trending wellness topic of 2026. Two hundred and thirty thousand TikTok videos. Mainstream media. Corporate wellness programs. And almost all of it is asking the same question: how do I fix my dysregulated nervous system so I can perform better?That is the wrong question.In this episode, Briony breaks down the autonomic nervous system in plain language · what it actually is, what it was designed for, and why dysregulation is not a character flaw but a survival solution. Fight, flight, and freeze are not failures. They are your nervous system's most intelligent response to an environment that said: this is not safe.The shame women carry about their own dysregulation is the wound beneath the wound. And it is the thing that body-based therapy, when it is done right, begins to repair.Briony introduces her foundational framework Body Knowing · the practice of receiving and trusting the information your body is already giving you, rather than overriding it in service of productivity, performance, or other people's comfort. She walks listeners through a live soma check-in practice they can do anywhere, and names the emerging (spiritual bypassing) neurowellness industrial complex for what it is: optimisation culture dressed in somatic language.This episode also opens the bigger conversation that runs through all of Briony's work: that coming back into your body is not a private, individual project. It is how you come back into instinct, desire, community, and life itself. One nervous system coming back online is a revolution in miniature.If you have ever been told you are too sensitive, too reactive, too much, this episode is for you.Topics covered in this episode include nervous system regulation, somatic therapy for women, body-based healing, the fight or flight response, vagus nerve healing, neurowellness, Body Knowing, felt safety, and somatic check-in practice.Book a free 20-minute Clarity Session at thesomatherapycollective.com/20-minute-clarity-sessionFind Briony at thesomatherapycollective.com · Instagram @reclaimmeproject · YouTube @nervoussystemsupportContinue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 15: You Don't Need her Apology to Heal: The Truth About The Mother Wound

    Message me at [email protected] Unfuckwithable Woman | Hosted by Briony MontgomeryThe most asked question in Briony Montgomery's 20+ years of somatic therapy work:Do I have to confront my mother to heal the mother wound?The answer is no. And Briony Montgomery actively advises against it.Not because the harm wasn't real. Not because what happened doesn't matter. But because confronting your mother before this work is done puts you back into the relational field that created the wound, without the roots to stand in it. You don't need her apology, her understanding, her acknowledgement, her presence, or even her aliveness. The healing happens inside you first.In Episode 15, Briony Montgomery reframes the mother wound as something far larger than a single relationship. A rupture in the thread of belonging running through your body, your motherline, and a culture that has been severing women from themselves for generations. And she walks you through how healing actually happens: in the body, in the lineage, in the daily practice of turning toward yourself.This episode covers:Why confronting your mother is not only unnecessary but can actively work against your healingWhy the mother wound is ancestral and political, not just personalThe Death Mother archetype, what she is and where she lives in your bodySomatic grounding and body mapping practices you can start todayGrief, rage, and parts work as pathways into healingReparenting your core self and calling home your exiled partsWhy your healing breaks the transmission forwardWhether your mother is difficult, absent, or already gone, this work is available to you. You are not broken. You are being remembered.🎧 Subscribe to The Unfuckwithable Woman wherever you listen.Only 4 one-on-one somatic therapy sessions available now.

    Episode 8: Tending to the Nervous System, Reclaiming Power

    Message me at [email protected] this soul-deep episode, Briony Montgomery invites you into the sacred terrain of your nervous system - where shutdown, freeze, rage, and grief live in the body - and where your power is quietly waiting to be reclaimed.We unravel how dysregulation isn't just personal, but ancestral and cultural - shaped by trauma, colonisation, the mother wound, and archetypes like the Martyr, the Parentified Child, and the Death Mother. Together, we name how women in midlife often become hollowed out, dried up, tired of holding it all and how tending to your nervous system is the first act of revolt and return.This episode explores:What dysregulation really looks like (and how we get stuck in it)How your nervous system was shaped by your lineage and environmentThe functional freeze state (and why you can’t "just try harder")Why grief and anger are vital, sacred, and necessarySomatic pathways to move from collapse into connection, from exhaustion into reclamationThis isn’t about self-improvement. It’s about embodied sovereignty.If you’re walking with big feelings, invisible trauma, or a yearning to come home to yourself - this episode is your medicine.Subscribe, share, and join the movement of women reclaiming softness, power, and a nervous system that can hold it all.Continue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 6: The Nervous System Revolution: Reclaiming Safety in a World on Fire.

    Message me at [email protected] the world speeds up, our bodies brace. In this deeply grounding episode, somatic therapist and guide Briony Montgomery maps the nervous system through a trauma-informed, decolonised lens and shows why regulation isn’t compliance-it’s power. We explore how fight/flight/freeze/fawn show up in everyday life (snapping at kids, doom-scrolling at midnight, code-switching to feel safe, shutting down during hard conversations), and how to move from panic to presence without bypassing grief or rage.You’ll learn:The polyvagal map, made livable-ventral (connection), sympathetic (mobilisation) and dorsal (shutdown), and how we shift between them all day.Functional freeze & collective trauma fatigue - why so many women feel numb, unseen, and “on” all the time, and how to thaw safely.Sacred rage vs. dysregulated anger - how regulated rage becomes a boundary-building force for protection, clarity and culture-change.Real-world regulation - simple, body-first cues (breath pacing, orienting, contact, consent, pausing) to respond instead of react.Being unfuckwithable - not armoured or detached, but rooted: present, discerning, and unmovable in your values even when life is chaotic.This is a nervous-system homecoming for women who are done performing “fine” and ready to reclaim sovereignty in their bodies, families, communities, and work.✨ Next step: Join the 21-Day Nervous System ResetA somatic, decolonised practice journey to restore safety, steadiness and vitality-daily micro-practices, nervous-system education, and gentle accountability.Starts 1 November 2025.Join here → www.thesomatherapycollective.comContinue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 5: Love Uncaged: Intimacy Beyond Binaries

    Message me at [email protected] many of us feel lost in love - trapped by cultural scripts that tell us intimacy looks like “the one,” marriage, or happily-ever-after. And when life doesn’t match the fantasy, we feel broken, unworthy, or like we’re failing at love.But love isn’t something to perform, contain, or win. Love is a living current - fierce, messy, grief-filled, joyful, cyclical, and infinite. In this raw, stream-of-consciousness episode, I explore how to free intimacy from binaries, reclaim love as a sacred source, and remember that you are already whole.This is a new format for sharing the deepest whispers and conversations with the primordial life force...DM let me know what it stirs within you [email protected]🌿 Listen now to The Unfuckwithable Woman Podcast  and discover how to be unfuckwithable in love, intimacy, and belonging.👉 Subscribe, rate, and share this episode to keep the conversation flowing.Continue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 4: The Ancestral Mother Wound - Healing Lineage, Healing the World

    Message me at [email protected] wound is not just ours - it lives in our lineage, our bodies, and our world. Healing it is the revolution.Have you ever felt like the ache inside you wasn’t just yours? That your grief, rage, or silence carried the weight of generations before you?In this raw and soulful episode, I dive into the Ancestral Mother Wound - the imprint of patriarchy, colonisation, and hierarchical systems that fracture our bonds to self, to mother, to community, and to the earth.Through my personal story and the lenses of IFS (parts work), attachment theory, epigenetics, and somatic healing, we’ll explore:- How trauma is passed through lineage and DNA.- Why so many women feel unseen, exhausted, and disconnected.- How grief and rage live in our nervous systems as survival strategies.- And how tending to this wound, for ourselves and our children, becomes medicine for our times.The ancestral mother wound isn’t just personal. It’s the root of cultural disconnection, ecocide, genocide, and the polycrisis we face. And yet, within it is also our liberation. When we tend to it now, we shift the inheritance we pass on - from rupture to resilience, from silence to belonging.This is lineage work. This is revolution. This is the heart of The MotherWay - a 16-week somatic, decolonised pathway back to your body, your belonging, and the primordial mother within. Listen now to Episode 4 of The Unfuckwithable Woman Podcast.Ready to tend your own mother wound?

    Episode 3: From Loss to Liberation - My Story & the Birth of The MotherWay

    Message me at [email protected] is the most personal episode I’ve shared yet.I take you into my story - losing my mother to cervical cancer, surviving family dysfunction and abuse, navigating depression, postnatal crisis, burnout, and the grief that almost swallowed me whole.Out of this rupture, I began piecing together a map. A way to care for myself when no system, no family, no community knew how. A way to integrate grief, rage, and trauma into a path of belonging. That map became The MotherWay.In this episode, you’ll hear:🌿 How the motherwound shapes our bodies, relationships, and communities.🌿 Why grief, rage, and trauma are not pathologies - but sacred thresholds.🌿 The story of how I built myself back, layer by layer, into wholeness.🌿 How The MotherWay now helps women move through trauma, burnout, and disconnection into remembrance and belonging.If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or too much, this episode is for you.You are not broken. You are remembering. Join me inside The MotherWay: a 16-week somatic, decolonised journey of motherwound healing, nervous system repair, and primordial belonging. https://www.thesomatherapycollective.com/Continue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.

    Episode 2: Yearning for the Mother

    Message me at [email protected] this soul-stirring episode, Briony Montgomery guides us through the ache of longing-for belonging, safety, and the elusive love of a mother rarely seen and deeply missed. Drawing from her own journey of loss, ancestral wounding, and the search for home within, Briony unpacks:The idealised, patriarchal mother image we’ve internalised-self-sacrificing, invisible, and extinguishing our own needs until vitality fades.The archetypal mother: a partial reclamation, real yet still shaped by expectations and perfectionism.The emergence of the primordial mother-raw, fierce, boundaried, intuitive, and wholly alive. She embodies grief and joy, destruction and creation, welcoming you exactly as you are, not to fix you, but to hold and tend you.How you know you’ve met her: you feel seen, safe, free to rage, weep, or simply be. A deep exhale of belonging.If you’ve ever felt fractured by trauma-yearning for connection, healing, and a mother who is neither idealised nor nullifying-this episode offers recognition, grounded spiritual medicine, and an embodied reclaiming of love and belonging.Continue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.
