In this first When Shift Hits the Fan minisode, we step into a real coaching conversation with Pam, a volunteer leader in her church who oversees the children’s program. She’s wrestling with the tension between her vision of fun and love for the kids—and another leader whose serious, rigid style seems to be draining the joy out of the experience.

It’s a classic moment where expectations and “rulebooks” don’t match, and the question becomes: How do you stay centered in love when someone else’s choices don’t align with yours?

💡 What You’ll Hear:

• Why our “rulebooks” (the way we think things should be) often create more stress than the circumstance itself
• 
  
• How your thoughts and feelings influence your experience—but never directly control someone else’s
• 
  
• The difference between stewardship and control, and how to lead with grace without being jerked around by others’ actions
• 
  
• A simple “ladder thought” practice to generate genuine love, even in moments of frustration
• 
  
• 
  

👉 This episode is short, real, and packed with practical insight you can use in any leadership role—whether you’re guiding a team, serving in your community, or parenting at home.

📝 Episode Show Notes:

📍 In this episode, Chase and Carly open up a conversation about travel, home, and the “optional” desires we often push to the side. Using real stories (like red-eye flights and dream vacations) as a springboard, they reveal how these discretionary desires are actually invitations into expansion—not indulgence.

You’ll learn how to recognize when your focus has slipped into lack, why the same words can carry completely different energy, and how to shift from contraction into flow. Whether your dream is a ski pass, a trip abroad, or simply more space at home, this episode will help you step into the joy of pure want without the weight of “I can’t.”

💡 What You’ll Hear:

• Why “optional” desires like travel and home design matter more than you think
• 
  
• The spectrum from deficit → baseline → expansion, and how to move toward growth
• 
  
• How the same sentence can point either left (lack) or right (expansion)
• 
  
• Practical ways to notice the energetic shift when you talk about what you want
• 
  
• The subtle invitations to contract—and how to reframe them as invitations to expand
•

• Why “shoulds” reveal inherited programming, not true desires
• 
  
• How to identify your past “hows” that keep shaping your choices
• 
  
• The Shift Sifter process to clarify what really matters to you
• 
  
• Why words and phrases that light you up are more powerful than generic affirmations
• 
  
• Practical examples of creating your own custom words and emotional anchors
• 
  
• How this process applies to your home, travel, and lifestyle design
• 
  
• The role of Step 4—Fearlessly Expand—in accessing more miracles

In this episode, we dive into what we call Invitations to Contract—the sneaky thoughts and beliefs that pull us away from healing, growth, and expansion in our health. Whether you’re facing chronic illness, supporting a loved one who is suffering, or simply pushing toward new health goals, these invitations show up everywhere along the spectrum.

You’ll hear how common phrases like “What if nothing I do works?” or “It’s up to me to keep my family healthy” actually drain your body’s energy and lower your vibration. We explore why your perfect “healing environment” isn’t really about circumstances, but about the beliefs you bring into them—and how learning to recognize and reframe these contracts is the key to true surrender, peace, and expansion.

💡 What You’ll Hear:

• What “Invitations to Contract” (ITCs) are and why they matter
• 
  
• How health is a continuum—from disease to adaptability and capability
• 
  
• Common ITCs like “What if it won’t work for me?” and “I have to do this for my family”
• 
  
• The heavy burden caregivers carry with thoughts like “It’s up to me to keep them alive”
• 
  
• How guilt sneaks in when we realize we may have more control than we thought
• 
  
• Why “healing environments” are universal, and why they don’t depend on circumstances
• 
  
• The real power behind healing: what you choose to believe about your situation
•

📍 This week inside the Tionatam dojo, we explore one of the most life-changing concepts in both health and relationships: interdependence—and the boundaries that make it possible.

From childhood codependence to adult burnout, Chase and Carly unpack how nervous system regulation, healthy separation, and spiritual responsibility shape everything from autoimmune disease to marriage, parenting, and purpose.

If your body keeps breaking down…

If your marriage feels tangled…

If your “no” only comes when it’s too late…

This episode is a Shift.

• The difference between dependence, independence, interdependence, and codependence
• Why autoimmune issues are often boundary diseases
• How your nervous system learns its safety from your caregivers
• What it actually means to “say no” (and why your body will do it for you if you don’t)
• A breakdown of communication diseases, like diabetes
• The truth about sacred polarity and why masculine/feminine dynamics matter in healing
• The spiritual invitation of sensing your body—as your closest relationship

📍 This week in the dojo, we’re diving into relationships—the real kind. Marriage, parenting, family, friendship, self, even God.

But we’re not talking communication tips and date night tricks. We’re talking about the unspoken thoughts that slowly drain your energy, tighten your chest, and make you wonder why the people you love most are the ones you fight with hardest.

We call them “invitations to contract.”

And once you start spotting them, everything shifts.

• The secret thoughts that make you feel powerless (and why they feel true)
• Why codependence masquerades as love—but feels awful in your body
• The difference between expansive helping and contracted fixing
• How resentment and score-keeping create contempt (and destroy connection)
• What your affect reveals about your nervous system and your relationships
• A gut-punch list of everyday thoughts that keep us stuck (get ready to feel seen)
