There is something you want that you have not said out loud in a while. Not the polished version you'd offer at a dinner party. The other one. The one folded up in your pocket.

In this episode:

Why the woman carrying something she cannot get out of her body is not flawed, and what the myth says the pressure actually is

The two-part move Gaia makes, and the half of it most women skip

What the word decide actually means, and why every real decision feels like grief

The beautiful house that produced nothing, and how to tell when structure and desire are living apart in your life

The golden net, being seen wanting something, and why shame shows up right at the edge of an evolution

Harmonia, and what only arrives on the far side

A place to start: if you want a quiet way into your own version of this, the Vision Keeper Workbook is free, and it is built for exactly this. It is a page for the thing you have been carrying.

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your child's health started at the dinner table, with a conversation?

Today's guest is Prescott Ellison — Chicago native, Grammy Award-winning drummer, composer, bestselling author, inventor, entrepreneur, and educator. Prescott is the creator of Superfood Friends, a nutrition and fitness curriculum he developed after returning to a childhood memory: his mother gathering her three kids at the kitchen table and teaching them why they were eating what they were eating — before they took a single bite.

That one habit sparked a movement. Prescott's work has been recognized by the White House, earned him the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Childhood Obesity Prevention Award, and a $250,000 grant to expand his program into schools across Las Vegas. His K–5 curriculum has reached classrooms, medical schools, and city halls and now, a Superfood Friends television series is in development.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to build a family food culture from the ground up, how to start conversations with your kids about what they're eating, and why the dinner table might be the most underestimated classroom you already have.

You'll hear:

• The kitchen table ritual Prescott's mother used that wired her kids for nutritional literacy and lifelong self-awareness
• How Prescott's childhood drawings became a universe of 100 fruit and vegetable characters
• The Michelle Obama moment that changed everything
• A simple, pressure-free framework for starting food conversations with your own kids tonight
• Why what we eat is always connected to how we feel and how to use that as an entry point with children of any age

You've done the therapy. You've read the books. You can name your pattern in one sentence. And there is still a part of you you've been managing instead of meeting.

My guest today is Lillian Eve Moore, a trauma expert and teacher with more than twenty years of experience blending somatics, nervous system work, energy medicine, and mindset tools. She has worked with veterans, with severe mental health conditions, with the things that happen in people's homes that we don't need to name out loud. Her optimism comes out of that, not around it.

We went straight into self-love, and Lillian took it somewhere I wasn't expecting. She started with a question: do you know what love feels like in your body? Because that feeling moves through your own body to get anywhere else. That's the biochemistry of it. Hold that sensation and hold awareness of yourself at the same time, and you're already there.

Then she took us down. Into the underworld, into the containment practice, into the list most of us have been carrying since childhood without ever writing it down.

JOIN US in the decent!

In this episode:

• What self-love feels like in the body, and why self-loyalty, self-respect, and self-trust all belong to the same practice
• Lillian's containment practice for being with something hard without going under, including the line I keep coming back to: you leave the therapeutic process the moment you leave well-being
• Why trauma is unintegrated information rather than damage, and what "treasure hunting" actually looks like
• Why receiving love is your responsibility, and what shifts in your relationships when you take that on
• How the identities we build out of "what I'm not" and "what I should be" become the whole basis of insecurity
• Why affirmations often miss, and what to practice instead

Your practice this week (Lillian's invitation):

Write the list of what you think you're not. Then write the list of what you think you should be. Go line by line and forgive yourself for each one.

I don't think I'm smart. I forgive myself for not thinking I'm smart.

I think I'm supposed to be smart. I forgive myself for thinking I'm supposed to be smart.

Feel the forgiveness as you go, as best you can. Then tell Lillian what you found.

Find Lillian:

• Her book, Treasure Hunting in the Underworld, on her website or Amazon
• Her website: https://www.lillianevemoore.com/
• Her community section, where the audio, her app, and her free courses live
• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asklillianevemoore/

A gentle note before you listen: this episode goes into trauma, and Lillian teaches a practice for being with hard material. She's clear that you move the thing further away the moment you leave your own well-being. Listen at whatever distance is right for you today, and get an adult in the room if you need one.

Come home to yourself.
