  The Stay-or-Leave Question: Relationships, Burnout, Boundaries & Self-Trust

  Jul 9, 202619 min

  In this episode, Laurie Oakes sits down with Rebecca of The Risen Sisterhood for a raw, honest conversation about the crossroads so many women find themselves at: burnout, people-pleasing, and the question of whether to stay or leave a relationship that no longer fits who they're becoming. Laurie and Rebecca dig into how intuitive coaching helps high-achieving women reconnect with their own identity after years of overfunctioning and self-abandonment. They talk about what it actually looks like to set boundaries without guilt, how to tell the difference between a season worth fighting for and a pattern that's run its course, and how to walk through that decision with clarity and self-respect rather than fear or obligation. The conversation also traces the deeper roots of these patterns, exploring ancestral and societal conditioning, the messages women inherit about worth and sacrifice, and how those messages often show up differently in the way daughters and sons are raised. Laurie and Rebecca share practical, grounded steps for beginning to heal from that conditioning, so listeners can start showing up as their full, unapologetic selves. Whether you're navigating burnout, standing at a relationship crossroads, or simply craving permission to put yourself first, this episode offers both the validation and the tools to help you rise into your highest potential. In this episode: Recognizing burnout and people-pleasing as protection patterns, not personality traits How intuitive coaching supports women through major life decisions Knowing whether to stay or leave: a framework for clarity Ancestral and societal conditioning around women's worth Raising daughters and sons differently, and why it matters Practical first steps toward healing and self-trust Follow Laurie on IG @laurieoakesmediumship Join The Wild Soul Rising Community Book a Session With Laurie and use code WSRCOMMUNITY to save 15% Learn more www.laurieoakesmediumship.com Find Rebecca: https://www.instagram.com/therisencollective.co/

  Holding Space For Grief In A World That Doesn't Talk About It

  Jun 3, 20261h 5m

  In this episode of Wild Soul Rising, host Laurie Oakes sits down with psychotherapist Natalie Goerner to explore grief in its many forms: sudden loss, anticipatory grief, and ambiguous loss, and why so many people rush through or suppress it. They discuss societal and generational influences on how we handle loss, the impact of unclear communication around sickness or death (especially with children), and practical ways to support someone who is grieving, from showing up with concrete help to holding space without trying to fix things. Through personal stories and therapeutic insights, Natalie and Laurie highlight the role of mindfulness, somatic practices, and community in healing and invite listeners to honour multiple truths on the journey toward integration and resilience.
