Your Energy Is Contagious — and most of us underestimate just how much impact we have in everyday moments.

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna shares the story of Bella — a grocery store clerk whose genuine warmth became a community-wide treasure, showing how even a 30-second exchange can shift someone’s whole day. Steph reflects on how a simple awareness of “frowny face” energy changed the dynamic in her past relationship, and how noticing what we transmit opens space for intentional choice.

Together, they explore the spectrum of energy from “love hubs” to protective blockers, why both are human and valid, and how practices like Metta (loving kindness) let us extend care to others even when we’re alone. They also share how their own patterns — from Steph’s life-of-the-party mask to Georgianna’s childhood role as family mediator — shaped the energies they learned to embody, and how they’ve reclaimed freedom to be real, human, and intentional in what they share now.

Discover how:

• Everyday moments ripple into big emotional impact

• Awareness of your “default energy” gives you back choice

• Loving kindness practices expand your presence beyond the room

The Threshold Moments Recipe is a simple, playful way to move from stress mode to presence mode — in less than a minute.

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph share a body-based “recipe” for threshold moments: the times when we move from one swirl of life into another. Georgianna tells stories of running errands, picking up her kids, and walking into a chaotic house — and how skipping her reset always escalated tension. Steph reflects on her need to add sensory ingredients (like squeezing her hands and feeling her feet) to truly land in the moment, and how these micro-practices keep her from spiraling into reactivity.

Together, they guide you through a sequence of seat awareness, shoulder rolls, thumping, and a simple acupressure point — and show how to adapt it for your own wiring, your family, or even your kids. This isn’t about performing calm. It’s about creating a pause so you can enter the next space with more steadiness and choice.

Discover how:

• Threshold moments shape the energy you bring into relationships

• A one-minute “recipe” can prevent stress from escalating at home

• Simple practices can be playful, adaptable, and even fun to teach others

"My Energy Is Not For ___" isn’t just a catchy phrase — it’s a powerful practice for protecting your peace.

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph reflect on Taylor Swift’s viral clip about treating your energy like gold, and how it stirred up deep insights about purpose, boundaries, and choice. Steph shares candid reflections on disappointing others, codependency, and her need to conserve energy for work that truly matters. Georgianna opens up about years spent ruminating after heartbreak — and how she learned to protect the hard-won peace she built through nervous system work and self-compassion.

Together, they explore how to identify what your energy is not for, what it is for, and how to bring that awareness into the next five minutes — not just the next decade.

Discover how:

• Naming “my energy is not for…” can clarify boundaries in seconds

• Rumination drains precious energy — and how to shift out of it

• Small energy audits help align your daily choices with your deeper purpose

And What Else isn’t just a question — it’s a powerful nervous system tool for shifting how we experience our world.

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph share stories of using this simple practice to interrupt old patterns of compounding pain and avoiding discomfort. Georgianna tells the story of a gym session where she asked for deep pressure support to create a nervous system reset. Steph reflects on how numbing and spiraling kept her from actually feeling her feelings, and how “and what else” builds real capacity to sit with what’s hard — without being swallowed by it.

Together, they explore how to notice neutral or pleasant sensations alongside the difficult ones, why this practice grows awe for what’s possible, and how to reclaim even a single breath of relief as a victory.

Discover how:

• “And what else” interrupts spirals and creates new options

• Pleasant sensations expand your capacity for the hard ones

• Growing micro-moments of ease rewires your nervous system for resilience

The feeling that you're bad, wrong, caught out or in trouble can show up anywhere — even just from a notification popping up on your phone. In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore why so many of us feel instantly “in trouble” when we get a message or hear the words we need to talk.

They share personal stories of how these shame-laced body memories form — from Georgianna’s childhood in a home where criticism felt like love, to her later reparative experiences that changed her entire response to messages from friends. Steph reflects on how her own patterns of only reaching out when something was wrong created a dynamic she later had to unlearn — and how even her father, in his seventies, still admitted to feeling “like a five-year-old in trouble” when criticized at work.

Together, they explore how these reflexes get passed down in families, why noticing “what’s the same and what’s different” is such a powerful tool for nervous system repair, and how practicing contrast (pleasant vs. unpleasant sensations) can slowly rewire us toward safety, neutrality, and even joy.

Discover how:

• Childhood shame patterns wire us to expect trouble

• Reparative experiences can gently change old body memories

• Family patterns shape what we expect in connection

• Simple contrasts can open the door to freedom and choice

The Attachment Dance is more than a metaphor — it’s a playful practice that reveals some of the deepest patterns in how we relate.

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph share personal stories about mothers, partners, and friendships that highlight the subtle ways we each handle togetherness and separation — from long lingering goodbyes to quick “good day to you, sir” exits. They explore how childhood imprints show up in adult relationships, why hellos and goodbyes matter so much to our nervous systems, and how even the smallest rituals of connection can repair and rewire intimacy.

Discover how:

• A simple movement practice can reveal your attachment patterns

• Autonomy and closeness can both be honored without blame

• Small rituals of hello and goodbye can soothe old wounds and grow connection

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore how to stop a bad day from taking over — starting with the moment you notice yourself getting “crunchy.”

Georgianna shares two stories: discovering how a simple Heart 7 acupressure point helped her recover her breath and calm her system on a hot uphill bike ride, and how asking for a hug on a noisy Vancouver sidewalk shifted an entire day from irritable to connected. Steph reflects on her own history of craving anxious caretaking and how learning to receive undramatic presence has changed her relationships.

Together, they break down the skills of noticing, naming, and resetting — including how co-regulation works best when you know what’s regulating for you and your people.

Discover how:

• Noticing early “crunchy” signals can keep them from escalating

• Co-regulation can deepen connection instead of fueling drama

• Tiny tools like breath cycles or acupressure can shift your whole day

In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore how urgency often masks discomfort — and how building the capacity to pause can transform your relationships and self-connection.

Georgianna shares a story about resisting the pull to resolve relationship tension in the middle of the night, choosing instead to stay with her own sensations until the moment felt right. Steph reflects on her past patterns of relational urgency, codependency, and drama-fueled timing, and how she’s learning to embrace the pause as a tool for genuine connection.

Together, they walk through everyday ways to grow this capacity — from breathing through physical tension, to sitting with emotional discomfort, to choosing intention over impulse when it matters most.

Discover how:

• Urgency often serves anxiety, not connection

• Simple body-based practices can build your “pause muscle”

• Staying with discomfort creates more choice in how you respond
