Leeana invites longtime friend and group member, Erica Ruse, to offer a "quick relax" meditation. Erica has offered these to their group for over a decade -- a way to quiet down, breathe, reintegrate, come home to your body, and begin again.
Leeana and Elaine talk through quarantine, depression, anxiety, lifelines, and regulating our bodies and nervous systems. It's two girlfriends checking in on how they're each doing with a side of therapeutic expertise (Elaine)!
Leeana interviews author and therapist, Nicole Zasowski, about her new book Lost to Found. Nicole talks about the devastation of her fertility journey as a way to talk about the losses that we all experience. The conversation includes heartbreak, hope, and what it truly means to surrender.
Leeana and Elaine talk more about groups and many of the possible issues that come up when women come together. They talk about group values, time, conflict, what it means to be the "leader," and expectations.
Leeana and Elaine talk about nurturing deeper connection with other women in friendships and also intentional groups. They share about the groups they've been a part of how and how they started them.
Elaine and Leeana talk about how to care for yourself when you're going through a tough season.
Leeana and Elaine look back at 2019 and each share what they're letting go of from the past year (it was a DOOZY for both of them). And then they look ahead at 2020, sharing their words for the year, and how they hope to incorporate those words into their daily lives. (Spoiler: This is not a do more, do better, be a new you kind of episode. This one's got a lot of grace, friends!)
