Safety might not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking about passion and intimacy, but it's the unsung hero of deep, meaningful relationships.

In this episode, we explore how a regulated nervous system lays the foundation for authentic expression, uninhibited sexuality, and resilient love.​

Discover why true freedom in relationships starts with feeling safe—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. We'll delve into how understanding and nurturing your nervous system can transform your connections, allowing you to show up fully, love deeply, and explore your desires without fear.​

Whether you're single, partnered, or navigating complex relational dynamics, this conversation offers insights into creating the secure base necessary for thriving intimacy.​

Tune in and learn how embracing safety can be the most liberating and sexy choice you make in your relational journey.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of reconnecting with our bodies and tuning into our five senses. Discover how shifting awareness from the mind to the body's innate intelligence can lead to deeper presence, clarity, and inner peace. We'll explore practical techniques to ground yourself in the present moment, highlighting the importance of sensory awareness in fostering authentic connections and personal growth.

So many of us have tried to heal by talking about it—again and again. But what if your pain isn’t just in your mind? What if it lives deep in your body, in the rhythms of your breath, your muscle tension, your heartbeat, your frozen stillness?

In this episode, I dive into the vital role your nervous system plays in lasting healing. You’ll learn why healing from trauma, grief, anxiety, or burnout often requires more than insight or understanding—it requires somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and the courage to feel what’s been held inside for far too long.

This is a gentle yet powerful invitation to stop spinning in the mental stories—and come home to your body as a place of real safety and transformation.

Whether you're new to somatic work or you've been circling around this path for a while, this episode might just be the permission your body has been waiting for.

And if you're ready to explore this kind of healing more deeply, I’d love to walk alongside you.
I offer one-on-one coaching rooted in nervous system healing, intimacy, and embodiment—and right now, I have a few beautiful special offers available to help you begin. You can find all the details and book your first session at www.auroraeggertcoaching.com.

✨ Plus, if you’re new here—check out past episodes in the archive. Many of them may feel even more timely now than when they were first released.

There are stories we carry in our bones—experiences too tender, too tangled, too taboo to name out loud. In this episode, we sit quietly beside the grief of miscarriage, the shame of erectile dysfunction, the hush around menopause and lost desire. This is not a conversation about what’s “broken,” but an invitation to meet what’s unspoken.

Because the body always remembers. And sometimes, it whispers when we no longer listen.

When we begin to gently address our shame, to own it, and eventually speak it out loud—we create brave, safe places for others to do the same. This is how we grow stronger. This is how we become a more resilient, connected community.

Join me for a gentle unraveling of what we’ve been taught to hide—so we can feel less alone, more whole, and a little more free.

And if you're new here, I invite you to explore the older episodes too. They may hold even more meaning now, with the world shifting and our hearts hungry for realness.

After almost a year of silence, I’m back—softly, intentionally, and with a full heart.

In this episode, I share why slowing down is one of the most radical things we can do in times of uncertainty and chaos.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, this conversation is for you. Let’s talk about the power of depth, the medicine of silence, and the beauty of beginning again.

Welcome back to The Borealis Experience. Let’s root in and rise.

Join me in this episode where I interview Derek Lacey on how to improve your sleep quality through inner child work.

Inner child work can profoundly influence your sleep quality by addressing the root causes of stress, anxiety, and emotional instability that often stem from childhood experiences. By healing and nurturing your inner child, you create a foundation of emotional well-being, safety, and self-compassion that promotes restful and rejuvenating sleep.

Inner child work involves exploring and healing past childhood experiences, traumas, and emotions that may still be impacting your adult life. By addressing unresolved issues from your formative years, you can release negative patterns and cultivate a healthier, more integrated self.

The Connection Between Inner Child Work and Sleep Quality

1. Reducing Stress and Anxiety

• Unresolved Trauma: Childhood traumas can manifest as chronic stress and anxiety in adulthood. These unresolved issues can cause a hyperactive stress response, making it difficult to relax and fall asleep.
• Healing Process: By engaging in inner child work, you can address and heal these traumas, reducing overall stress and anxiety levels, leading to improved relaxation and better sleep quality.

1. Enhancing Emotional Regulation

• Emotional Turmoil: Unprocessed childhood emotions can lead to emotional instability, affecting your ability to manage stress and maintain calmness, which are crucial for good sleep.
• Emotional Healing: Inner child work helps you acknowledge and process these emotions, enhancing your emotional regulation. This improved emotional balance can lead to a more restful and uninterrupted sleep.

1. Releasing Negative Beliefs

• Limiting Beliefs: Childhood experiences often shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world. Negative beliefs and self-perceptions can contribute to feelings of unworthiness, leading to anxiety and sleep disturbances.
• Positive Reframing: By identifying and reframing these negative beliefs through inner child work, you can cultivate a more positive self-image and reduce nighttime rumination, promoting better sleep.

1. Creating a Sense of Safety

• Sense of Insecurity: Traumatic childhood experiences can leave you feeling unsafe and hyper-vigilant, which can persist into adulthood, affecting your ability to relax and sleep soundly.
• Inner Nurturing: Inner child work involves nurturing and reassuring your inner child, creating a sense of safety and security. This sense of inner safety can significantly improve your ability to relax and achieve deep sleep.

1. Improving Self-Compassion

• Self-Criticism: Childhood criticism and negative experiences can lead to a harsh inner critic, perpetuating stress and negative self-talk that disrupt sleep.
• Self-Compassion Practice: Inner child work fosters self-compassion, helping you to replace self-criticism with kindness and understanding. This positive self-relationship reduces stress and enhances sleep quality.

1. Resolving Nightmares and Sleep Disorders

• Recurrent Nightmares: Unresolved childhood trauma can cause recurrent nightmares and sleep disorders, as the subconscious mind tries to process these experiences during sleep.
• Therapeutic Resolution: Through inner child work, you can address and resolve these traumas, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of nightmares and improving overall sleep...

Join me today in a conversation with Derek Lacey !

Derek Lacey is a sleep facilitator and founder of the Art of Falling Asleep & 5 Step Method, a method of sleeping that aligns the mind, body and nervous system to create a deeper and more meaningful experience of sleep.

After spending a lifetime fighting insomnia himself, Derek discovered his sleep when he became a health coach in 2015, learning the importance of daily habits and mindset changes, then applying these mindset changes to his own insomnia transformation.

Since then, he has used his knowledge of sleep science and sleep psychology to help insomniacs use intuitive methods to repurpose their resistance to sleep into their own pharmacy of sleep chemicals.

Derek’s mission is to create a movement that makes sleep meaningful again, help people access the spiritual gifts of sleep, and use this deeper connection with sleep to contribute to a more conscious planet.
