Safe to Love

Most people think they are broken when they feel emotionally shut down, stuck in painful patterns, or numb in their relationships. Somatic practitioner Darci Burke joins April and Chad to explain why your nervous system is not broken, it is protecting you.And how learning to work with your body instead of against it is the key to healing, deeper connection, and love that actually feels safe. In this interview, you'll learn:1. How to recognize if you are living in a freeze state without knowing it2. Why your nervous system shuts down instead of fighting or fleeing3. What the difference is between freeze and full dorsal vagal shutdown4. Why trauma is not about what happened to you but what happened inside you5. How childhood wounds get silently projected onto your adult partner6. Why regulation does not mean calm it means presence7. How to stay present with anger without destroying yourself or your relationship8. Why you cannot think your way out of what your body is holding9. How titration and pendulation release survival energy safely from the body10. Why plant medicine and breathwork can re-traumatize an under-resourced nervous system11. How to communicate your body sensations to your partner during conflict12. Why relationship health is measured by how fast you repair not how often you rupture. You are allowed to choose yourself. You are allowed to stop playing small. The life you are grieving may be the very thing making room for the one you actually belong in.With Love and Safety,Chad & April ❤️What We Discuss:00:00 Teaser: Why relationships become self-serving without inner work 01:30 Introducing somatic practitioner Darci Burke 03:00 Live grounding practice, orienting and resourcing your nervous system 10:00 How Darci's own healing led her to somatic work 15:00 Chad on freeze, dissociation, and men's disconnection from the body 17:36 What a freeze state actually is and why it is exhausting 20:00 The antelope analogy, freeze as survival, not weakness 21:35 Functional freeze, functioning on the outside, numb on the inside 26:00 Trauma is what happened inside you, not just what happened to you 28:26 The personality traits that are actually survival patterns 31:00 Why healing must be slow, titrated, and consistent 36:31 Women, anger, and the nervous system history behind it 40:00 Regulation means presence, not calm 42:38 Your partner mirrors your unresolved wounds 47:00 How childhood rewires your definition of love and safety 55:00 Your nervous system sets the foundation for your entire lived experience 57:00 Practical somatic steps to heal freeze inside a relationship 1:00:19 How to name body sensations to your partner during conflict 1:01:17 Relationship health is how fast you repair after rupture 1:06:22 How to connect with Darci Burke 1:07:20 Darci's closing message, come home to yourself If you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!

In this episode of Safe to Love we bring you a Love story in its inception. Stephen and Carrie have not been together for decades or even years, reflecting back on the life they have shared and all they have learned together. They give us a real-time insight into what it's like to take all of the lessons life has taught us about love and integrate them into a new relationship. Their example of leading with the heart and of showing up in mature authenticity and vulnerability right from the start is a  beautiful template of a different way to engage in building a new relationship. Love requires courage, the courage to risk being seen by another, the courage to have faith in our ability to navigate whatever may come, and the courage to lean in when our heart says "Yes!"Follow Stephen Karafiath on InstagramFollow Carrie Cox on InstagramIf you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!

In this episode we bring you the story of how painful the intersection of love and religion can be. Darci and Brandon's entire lives - including their marriage - were built upon the foundations of the Mormon Church (officially called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). When their souls could no longer fit within the confines of that religion, not only did they have to confront what that meant for their faith, they also had to learn how to grow and evolve their relationship into something that could survive and thrive without relying on the tenets of Mormonism, which had dictated the meaning of their marriage for so long - including what the purpose of their union and their individual roles within it. We are so excited to share this story with you, one of immense courage and endless hope. Through the power of their love, Darci and Brandon's marriage not only survived the deconstruction of their faith, it grew into something even more beautiful. Along the journey, Darci and Brandon became embodied experts on how to regulate our nervous system and create a space in our body where that was safe to be present. They truly represent what it means to be "Safe to Love."If you want to book a somatic session with Darci, you can do so on her website https://www.holoshealing.infoFollow Darci Burke on InstagramFollow Brandon Burke on InstagramFollow their show, Safe to be Seen, on InstagramIf you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!

In this episode of Safe to Love, Chad sits down with April for a powerful interview about the life that led her to creating Safe to Love, the choices along the way that shaped her into the woman that she is, and the courage it takes to leave behind a marriage that is not good for either partner. April bravery and authenticity are on full display here as she shares a story that so many women experience, way too many in silence, of being in a marriage with love and friendship and mutual respect, but lacking passion and intimacy. When two people who care for each other have to face the reality that they cannot meet each other's unique needs, the rightness of a decision does not make it hurt any less. Let this quintessential episode of Safe to Love bring you both hope and courage in equal measure to fight for your own love story!If you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!

In this episode of Safe to Love, April and Chad sit down with Christy Foster to explore  how the body carries our unspoken stories, how physical patterns often mirror emotional imprints, and what it really means to listen to the “subconscious language” of the body. Christy shares her framework for understanding the two-way communication between body and mind, and how cultivating this awareness can transform not only our physical and emotional health, but the way we connect to ourselves and to others.Christy also opens up about her mission to empower individuals to decode the signals our bodies send us every day, signals that often go unnoticed but shape our lives in profound ways. Through her work as an educator, mentor, and healer, she teaches others how to create deeper alignment, self-awareness, and integration within their own mind body systems. Whether you’re a practitioner, someone on your own healing journey, or simply curious about how the body stores emotion and memory, this conversation will expand your understanding of what’s possible.Christy Foster is a psychosomatic therapist, educator, and mentor with over 25 years of experience helping people understand the language of the body and psyche. Her work explores archetypes as living patterns that shape our everyday choices, relationships, and emotional responses, offering practical insight into how awareness creates change.If you want to contact Christy or just learn more about here and her work you can find her on Facebook, Instagram, or through her website!Facebook Group Emotional AnatomyChristy Foster on FacebookChristy Foster (christyfoster.wellness) On InstagramChristy's WebsiteIf you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!

In this episode of Safe to Love, Chelsea talks with April and Chad about the history of marriage, the cultural forces that shape intimacy, the impact of religion on relationships, and what her research shows about connection, safety, and healing within partnership.Did you know you can watch Safe to Love on YouTube? Chelsea Shields is a biological and cultural anthropologist who studies how culture, belief, and social connection shape the human body and our most intimate relationships. Raised in a traditional Mormon family, she became curious about how symbols, expectations, and suggestion create real physiological change. This focus led her to earn dual PhDs from Boston University in Biological and Cultural Anthropology. For over a decade, Chelsea led an international field school and conducted long term research with Asante Indigenous healers in Ghana, examining ritual, group entrainment, polyrhythmic drumming, and the link between social pain and social healing.

On the debut episode of Safe to Love, we bring you a story that captures the heart of our mission to help the world believe in love again. Scott and LaRae Wright join us to share a relationship built on healing, honesty, and the courage to begin again later in life.(Did you know you can also WATCH this episode on YouTube?!)Scott and LaRae first knew each other in high school, but life took them in separate directions. He got married, raised a family, navigated divorce, and spent a decade losing himself in the party lifestyle. She moved to New York, achieved great success in business, and experienced relationships that were powerful and exciting, but lacking in tenderness and depth. Thirty years later, their paths unexpectedly crossed, and what followed became a powerful example of how love can return when two people have done the inner work to receive it.In this episode, they open up about their 50 years of life before they found each other again, and the beautiful 15 years they have shared since. Scott speaks candidly about his intense spiritual journey, including confronting his struggles with pornography and the deeper emotional patterns beneath it. LaRae shares what it took to choose love with clarity and boundaries, and how the two of them built a partnership rooted in accountability, devotion, and real emotional presence.We explore how identity shifts throughout adulthood, especially for men in corporate culture, and how both Scott and LaRae eventually let go of their attachment to traditional roles to build something more aligned with who they truly are. They even host their own podcast together, “The Observatory,” a space for authentic discussions, dedicated to helping people discover – or rediscover – meaning in their life. This conversation is about healing. It is about what actually works. And it is about choosing love – not just once, but continually, with intention and practice.Welcome to Safe to Love. Let this first story remind you that it is never too late to start again.Listen to Scott and LaRae's Podcast "The Observatory" and follow them on Instagram!"The Observatory" on Spotify"The Observatory" on Apple Podcasts"The Observatory" on InstagramScott Wright on Instagram @scott_david_wrightLaRae Wright on Instagram @Larae_WrightIf you're serious about ...❤️ Work With ChadInstagram |  @chadonlove❤️  Work with AprilInstagram |  @aprilbenincosa  Welcome to Safe to Love!
