  • Woo Woo, Parts Work and Parenting Truths

    Woo Woo, Parts Work and Parenting Truths
    Apr 30 2026
    It’s another solo with Sarah and Tez and they’re wading through the woo-woo as they do do. Teresa shares a parenting a-ha around nighttime musical beds; the pull to sleep close to the people you love versus the expectation everyone should be in their own beds by a certain age. She opens up about how she’s pivoted, and the peace that’s come with it. Plus we celebrate Sarah nurturing her love of fashion through her collab with Oso and Me. (Go check out the gorgeousness for yourselves!) We reflect on last week’s convo with Sarah Baldwin (profound stuff!!), and how it’s sparked a deeper dive into childhood memories, inner child work, and parts work. Sarah talks about working with fan fave Christina Prokos to access early memories and gently reshape them, releasing the hold they carry, while we explore the blurry line between what’s real and what’s remembered. Plus we chat Sarah’s nervous system resets with the kids at night and her wildly accurate intuitive hits… is it medical intuition? Or her clairaudience deepening? Sarah’s witchy ways are heating up! Pssst, we told you we were going deeper this year, Dazeys!

  • Somatic Healing, Nervous System & Reparenting with Sarah Baldwin

    Somatic Healing, Nervous System & Reparenting with Sarah Baldwin
    Apr 23 2026
    Sarah Baldwin joins us this week for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on the podcast. A somatic practitioner and educator, Sarah reminds us that tending to our own nervous systems is one of the most generous things we can do for our children. Our kids look to us to learn what safety and regulation feel like. We talk parts work, inner child healing, and how our nervous systems can “time travel,” reacting to the present through past experiences. Sarah breaks down how we’re constantly asking: is this safe, dangerous, or life-threatening? And how those answers are shaped by what we’ve lived through. We explore meeting our scared parts with compassion, not fear, and the healing that happens when we become the witness we may have never had. Plus, staying rooted in self even when we’re triggered, with the sequoia tree as a beautiful metaphor for that grounded, steady place we can return to. An episode on reparenting, regulation, and showing up for ourselves so we can show up for the people we love.

  • Safety, Signals & Seasons with Sarah and Tez!

    Safety, Signals & Seasons with Sarah and Tez!
    Apr 16 2026
    We’re in one of those everything-at-once seasons. Sarah wraps up her dream job, Ocean hits 9 months (how??), Lotus “dadas” throughout the ep, and we spiral into the kids growing up, the paths we thought we’d take, and how we both somehow dodged university and landed in acting instead. We talk car accidents, near misses, and those moments that make you wonder if the universe is trying to get your attention. Plus Sarah’s clairaudience, and the difference between intrusive thoughts that feel loud and jarring vs intuition that lands quietly but sticks. There’s our new women’s circle chat, the beautiful upside of Teresa’s homeschooling experience, and those fleeting little moments where you catch yourself thinking: these are the days we’ll miss. We also get into communal living dreams, online dating horror stories, Uber safety, true crime paranoia, and how we’re navigating modern “stranger danger” with our kids (including protecting your algorithm… yes, really).
