From the influence of cultural pressures on our creative choices to the power of small, intentional changes, Xenia and Jenny explore how our experiences shape us.

Throughout, they emphasize the importance of honoring the human experience, especially the hard parts, like grief and self-doubt. Whether it’s through connecting with collective consciousness or recognizing divine presence in the everyday, their conversation is a reminder of the beauty in embracing our emotions and allowing love and joy to transform how we see the world.

This week Jenny is sitting down with the amazing Tammy Chow for a deep dive into the world of somatic therapy and how it plays a key role in healing trauma, especially for women. Tammy is a Somatic Experiencing and Attachment Re-Patterning practitioner, Body Temple Dance facilitator, spiritual alignment guide, artist, and designer. Her work weaves together somatics, neuroscience, creativity and spirituality to help women transform trauma, reconnect with their intuition, and break free from the internalized expectations that keep them from experiencing the uninhibited expression, power, and expansiveness that is their birthright.

In this episode Tammy opens up about her own personal journey—navigating childhood trauma, dealing with the weight of parental expectations, and discovering the importance of stillness in the healing process. Together, they reflect on how our early experiences shape who we are as adults and how somatic practices can help reconnect us with our bodies, allowing for profound self-discovery and growth. As they unpack the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and Mary Magdalene, the conversation brings out the beautiful balance between transcending the mind and being fully present in the body. Healing isn’t just about rising above; it’s about embracing both the mind and heart and finding unity within them. Tammy and Jenny also dive into the messy, human experiences of motherhood, the challenge of individuation, and how the inner critic—often born from childhood wounds or societal pressures—can stifle personal growth. But healing? It’s an ongoing journey, one that requires patience, compassion, and the ability to sit with stillness. They also talk about the cycles of life, from death to rebirth, and how these cycles shape us as women, the importance of community and how being part of a supportive network can be vital to the healing process.

We know you will love this one and if you want to learn more about Tammy's work you can check out her program, Awaken the Wild Woman, which is all about guiding women through their own journey of reclaiming their bodies, finding their voice, and celebrating their womanhood in a world that often asks them to suppress their pain. It’s about embracing your true self, with all the messy, beautiful cycles of life that come with it.

They explore how listening (or not listening) has real consequences, and why communication alone isn’t enough—it’s really about how we relate to each other on a deeper level.

The conversation gets into the tricky dynamics of parenting and personal growth, where James-Olivia shares how choosing your own path often comes with grief, but it’s essential for feeling true to yourself. They discuss how feeling our emotions is a skill we can all learn, and how expressing those feelings leads to freedom and authenticity in our relationships. They emphasize that we all get to decide what’s true about someone else and how loving unconditionally doesn’t have to be tied to a person’s worth. They touch on how stewarding our time is about being true to our own commitments, and that there are no consequence-free choices when it comes to relationships. The journey of personal growth might be uncomfortable, but it’s part of what deepens our connections with ourselves and others.
