With unfiltered candor, they intimately share their personal experiences with God, spirituality, and religion, exploring the transformative effects on self-perception, worldview, and creative expression. They courageously untangle the confusion arising from their misalignment with these dominant systems. Raw and unapologetic, Eileen and Jess shed light into the dark corners, discussing the haunting realities of spiritual and sexual abuse, the shadow of suicide threats and the world of cults.

S1 E8: How we choose to do it differently.

Waking Up Together

11/23/23 • 68 min

Welcome to Episode 8 of "Waking Up Together," where Jess and Eileen return to discussing the real-time waking-up process following the release of Episode 7. In this continuation, they delve even deeper into the themes of sensual and sexual awakening, exploring the sensational awakening of Jess's nervous system in response to the airing of the previous episode.
***Note: This episode is not suitable for young listeners.***

The episode unfolds as Jess shares her body’s inflammatory response to the release of her voice and the podcast episode. This bodily response allowed her and Eileen to hear and dissolve the toxic stories surrounding "saying too much" and the transformative power of owning and sharing one's truth. The duo opens up about the liberating effect of breaking free from the shackles of secrecy and the privatization of personal experiences, igniting the release of the dormant, compressed energy of silence and long-held secrets.

Now armed with this newfound awareness, the hosts explore the question: How do we do things differently now that we are conscious of this unfolding process?

The conversation circles back to the binary discussion, unraveling the seductive allure of perceiving the world through binary ideas. Through the lens of "in-queery," Jess and Eileen invite listeners to expand their understanding of yin and yang expression and embodiment. They explore the confusion that arises when individuals realize they have choices and agency, emphasizing the power of doing things differently.

The duo reflects on how making alternative choices can be disruptive, not only to individual bodies but also to larger constellations of structures and bodies. The episode serves as a guide to navigating the complexities of choice, agency, and the transformative potential of disrupting established norms.

Join Jess and Eileen as they illuminate the path towards a more conscious and liberated existence, urging listeners to embrace the power of doing things differently in the wake of newfound awareness. It's time to unpack the beliefs, ignite the fire within, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

S1 E6: How the aching body is a revelation.

Waking Up Together

11/09/23 • 83 min

Join Eileen and Jess as they delve deep into the intricate interplay between awakening and our physical bodies. In this episode, they explore the question, "What changes physiologically as we undergo the process of waking up?" Their conversation shines a spotlight on the sensations, aches, and pains that surface as we step into embodied consciousness. Eileen and Jess share how the awakening process can trigger the release of survival energy that has long been contained within us, often held back by the autonomic survival responses of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. As this energy unfurls, it surges forth like a flood, colliding with constrictions and deep-seated beliefs that have hindered us from expressing our true selves freely. Throughout their conversation, Eileen and Jess emphasize the significance of recognizing boundaries that have been crossed and unveiling the unspoken "no's" and silent "yeses" that have quietly shaped our lives. Their insights reveal how our pain body and dream body serve as instructive guides, leading us to the areas where we need support in breaking free from the grip of these nonverbal, non consensual contracts that have subtly influenced our existence.

S1 E11: How internalized patriarchy constrains our authentic embodiment.

Waking Up Together

12/15/23 • 83 min

Welcome to Episode 11 where Eileen and Jess continue the exploration of reclaiming our creativity and acknowledge how patriarchal roles have a complicated impact on our self-expression. In this episode Eileen and Jess attempt to unravel the layered feelings, sensations, and stories surrounding the question, "How does our conditioning surrounding the binary cause inequitable disruption of our self-expression, self-confidence, and self-acceptance?"

They intimately share stories of choosing themselves over societal expectations, challenging the notion of waiting to be chosen.

Jessica delves into the continuous unfolding of her identity as a creatrix and how she has journeyed beyond the binary. She openly shares her fertility journey and how it shook her sense of self. The conversation bravely explores sensitive themes of despair, loss, miscarriage, and suicidal ideation, offering a space for genuine connection and understanding. Eileen reflects on a profound quote by Carl Jung that sheds light on the burden placed on children whose parents have not fully lived their own lives. This quote serves as a catalyst for both Eileen and Jess to delve deeper into the impact of parental limitations on a child's ability to express themselves fully.

Join us in this transformative journey as they navigate these complex structures in order to breathe life into their creative expression.

Waking Up Together

11/17/23 • 80 min

Embark on a wild and magical journey with Eileen and Jess in this groundbreaking episode of Waking Up Together. Brace yourself as they courageously confront shame stories, reclaim their power, and delve into the intricate web of how systems of tyranny manipulate our relationship with pleasure and desire.
***An activation and age warning is in effect, as this episode fearlessly explores realms of sex, sensual awakening, and the complexities of pleasure expression. This is not an episode for young ears.***

In a uniquely magical twist, the spirit of Eileen's sister makes her presence known, steering the conversation into unexpected territories. This episode is a fierce exploration of themes surrounding the oppressive nature of the binary, the liberation of silenced desires, and the transformative power of standing in our unequivocal yes while reclaiming our voice. Eileen and Jess intimately share the personal traumas that complicated their relationship with pleasure and their bodies, holding nothing back. The richness of this spontaneous journey becomes an alchemical process, transmuting the force of oppression into the fire of liberation.

S1 E5: How the illusions we agree to keep us stuck.

Waking Up Together

11/03/23 • 70 min

In this episode of "Waking Up Together," we courageously delve into the intricate and sometimes unsettling realm of control and disintegration. Our exploration centers around a profound question: What am I afraid will happen when I release the illusion of control, and what is revealed about our structure of control?

As we navigate the awakening process, we often experience a sense of falling apart, disintegrating, and free-falling into the unknown. When we recognize that the choices that have led us to this point no longer serve us, it can be an agonizing experience, like a part of us is dying along with those outdated choices.

Parting ways with old ideas, modes of relating, and self-identifications can be a terrifying ordeal. We candidly share how many of our past decisions were influenced by fear, the instinct for survival, and a perception of limited agency. However, as our awareness expands, we explore how we begin to discern the multitude of options before us, and this newfound awareness can be both disorienting and liberating.

We acknowledge that our entanglement in binary thinking, such as life or death, love or hate, belonging or exile, is being challenged as we untether from this narrow frame of existence. We reflect on how having options can be both overwhelming and liberating simultaneously. Join us as we delve into the intricate mechanisms we employ—behaviors, people, and identities—to reassemble ourselves when we've been shattered and come undone. This episode embodies the full moon lunar eclipse that it was recorded under, holding the paradox of both/and, exploring the dark and together, learning to trust this free fall and embrace the unknown.
***We do want to note that this episode comes with an activation warning as there are themes of self harm and an eating disorder. Please take care of your body as this conversation might wake up spaces and places where there is tenderness, pain, memory and/or experiential knowledge. Thank you for joining us, as we wake up. Together.***

Through introspection and deep self-reflection, Eileen and Jess navigate the beliefs that accompany the journey of expansion and contraction, creation and destruction, and the intricate dance between intrusion on and reclamation of self.

In this episode, they also delve into the compounding nature of time and how it can unexpectedly become an agent of suffering. They explore the profound impact of expanding our relationships with ourselves and others, and the inevitable changes that unfold as a result.

This episode is a full one. An embodied one. An integrated one. A conversation that asks the question...what does it feel like to step into the space of expansion and claim all of my parts?
