What if there was a profound difference in your "personality" and your TRUE essence? What if your personality and the way you are showing up in the world is just a collection of your experiences, both good and challenging? And that your "identity" might actually be protective mechanisms you had to forge in order to feel safe, be seen and essentially, navigate the world? There's a distinct difference between personality and true essence. One is something that is created to move through the world ...

We’ve all been there… when you feel like you’ve healed through something but you still feel the weight of it. Or maybe it rears its’ ugly head when you least expect it. Perhaps it was a breakup with the person you thought was “the one”, a big confrontation with a family member, maybe even abuse or an isolated traumatic event in your life. One of the reasons for this, is that we can’t talk our way out of trauma. We have to feel and process it and this is why somatic body work is so critical on yo...

Over the last century the purpose of relationships has changed drastically. We are no longer marrying to create a business relationship (ie. you go make money, I will raise our children, food, shelter security) or even in a friendship, most of us don’t want a surface level connection. Modern relationships go beyond biological/surface level needs and are jumping into the realm of emotional and spiritual connection and growth with one another. The problem with this new dynamic, is most of us have ...

Most of us have experienced loss and the grief following it in some form throughout our lives and if it hasn’t yet, it will find you too - it’s inevitable.

Self responsibility is not practiced often enough in relationship dynamics because it is easier to blame external factors for our situations and our feelings. Accepting fault or admitting improvement is needed, in some way is like blaming ourselves, as if we deliberately messed things up or acted a certain way. But This is not the case. A lot of the ways we show up are just unhealed wounds, or behaviour patterns we have witnessed throughout our lives. This episode is an empowering reminder that ...

Being a perfectionist can look like on the outside as having it all together, being able to always get the job done, and experience great success and achievement. But in reality, it's a coping mechanism typically used to shield us from the pain of not feeling worthy enough and accepted. It is a false sense of identity and a mask used to construct a life that we feel others will approve of. In this episode, Christina and Tess discuss what exactly is perfectionism, how it's a coping mechanism, and...

In order to have the life you truly want, you have to be able to not only know WHAT you want but also be able to speak and embody this energy. Cue, boundaries.

Having boundaries is absolutely critical not only for your mental health but also your self-worth and ability to live the life you dream of. In this episode, Tess and Christina dive into all things boundaries - what are t...

The world is full of people afraid of their voice, their power. We push away the right to stand out and be strong for the sake of belonging. To do this we devalue our ideas, we learn to always stay with the masses - to always say ‘Yes’ - regardless of wanting to say no, we learn not to love ourselves in order to gain the love of others, we disapprove of our inner truth in order to get approval from outside of us. Today’s episode is a really special one for us, it’s our first interview ever! And ...

Today we're talking all relationships - Friendship, marriage, family, long term partnerships... Each relationship you have plays a different role in your life. Perhaps some serve a single purpose and then they’re gone, some may be life long friends - where you’re always connected, always learning, teaching and going through life’s phases together, and some can fit in the middle - those relationships that you pick up right where you left off. But too often we find ourselves trying to maintain rel...

On today’s episode we’re talking about what codependency is and we’re going deep into how this holds us back and what it creates in our lives and relationships. This has been a game changer realization for both Tess and Christina and we think it will be for you too. If any of these describe you than press play: You put everyone else's needs before your own, you have a hard time telling people what you really want (what restaurant, what activities...) You rely on others for decision making/approv...

Self Betrayal...it's the death of a thousand cuts. Self Betrayal can look like people pleasing, sabotaging yourself, not validating your experience, hiding who we are from fear of not being accepted, the list is long -- and although each small action is insignificant in it's entirety, over a lifetime it can fully detach us from who we are. Everyone wants to jump to self-trust and self-love but the bridge there is to get to know yourself... I mean you wouldn't establish trust with a stranger righ...

An unhealed mother wound can manifest into adulthood in the following ways: a lack of boundaries, can't say 'no' constant fear of judgement comparisonitis you sacrifice your dreams/wants for someone else co-dependent (this one is a big!) low self-worth (this could look like negative self talk) self-sabotage It's our strongest bond - the bond between a child and a mother.
