You understand your patterns. You can name them, trace them, explain
them. And you are still running them.
Found in the Fire is a podcast for the woman who has done the work —
the therapy, the journaling, the courses — and is ready to understand
why insight alone has never been enough. Hosted by Erica Adams,
neuroscience coach and somatic practitioner, each episode goes into the
specific, lived moments that shift when healing actually reaches the body.
Somatic practice. EFT. Ancient wisdom. The neuroscience of real change.
And the red velvet cake version of what transformation actually looks like
on a Tuesday morning.

Twelve episodes ago, a woman on this show could name every one of her patterns and still couldn't stop running a single one of them. This episode, the last of the season, introduces who she's become since. Not fixed, not certified, just quieter and more finished than she was at episode one. She caught the wedding laugh half a second before pulling it back down to a polite size. She tapped the side of her hand in a parking lot and felt her peripheral vision widen. This episode goes looking for...

The Wild Woman and What Was Tamed Out of You
A woman at a wedding, three glasses of wine in, laughs so hard and so loud that heads turn two tables over, and in the middle of that laugh, without anyone saying a word to her, she brings the volume down herself. This episode names the two things that just happened inside that half-second: the reflex, which fires once and lets go like a hand pulling back from a hot stove, and the guard, who never actually clocks out, the one still holding the lid down three hours later at the kitchen table. ...

Meeting Kali: What Needs To Burn
A woman, still paying eighty-one dollars a month for a storage unit full of furniture from a marriage that ended years ago. This episode names the distinction first: not destruction, but discernment between what's still alive and what's already dead and just hasn't been allowed to leave. Then it walks through where that distinction actually comes from — a goddess whose name means both time and black, a pinecone that needs real fire to open, an alchemical stage that has to happen before anythi...

Somatic Practice is Not Yoga
A grown woman, rolling up her yoga mat after class, walking to her car with the exact same set jaw she walked in with. This episode names the gap first: not more insight, but the missing step between doing the practice and actually living differently. Then it walks through why the body treats a class like an event instead of a practice, where that structure actually came from, and what the research says about the two different systems that hold understanding and hold tension. Then it takes yo...

Tapping: The Thing That Sounds Weird But Works Anyway
A grown woman tapping the side of her own hand in a parking lot, talking to nobody. This episode names the objection first, then walks through exactly what's happening in the body when you tap while holding an activating thought, why the research on stress hormones and EFT backs it up, and takes you through your very first sequence, live, point by point. Try it in the car. Nobody has to know. What we cover: The mechanism, without the mysticism. Tapping on specific points while holding an acti...

The Red Velvet Cake (Explained)
Back in Episode 1, we named the difference between broccoli and red velvet cake. This episode takes it all the way through: why understanding and change live in different parts of you entirely, and what it actually feels like when the work has done what it's supposed to do. Four new scenes — the invoice sent at full price, the bees on the dandelions, the phone left alone for an hour, the plain no with nothing stapled to it. Not the theory. The felt, ordinary, ten-o'clock-on-a-Tuesday answer t...

What The Dishes Are Actually About
He left one dish in the sink, and something in her went from zero to a hundred before she had a reason ready. This episode is about why the small thing is never the thing. Your nervous system doesn't read a single moment on its own. It checks it against a running account of every time you asked and it didn't land, every time you carried more and called it fine. The dish gets read as the newest entry, not a bowl. We name the mechanism, why the alarm doesn't check with the part of you that know...

You Are Not Behind
You can understand your patterns completely and still not change them and that's not a personal failing, it's neuroscience. This week, Erica breaks down why insight and embodiment live in two different parts of the brain, why your amygdala can't tell a lion from an unanswered text, and what it actually feels like when healing work finally reaches the layer where your patterns live. In this episode The two systems running your life: the prefrontal cortex (where insight and understanding hap...

The Snow Queen
EPISODE OVERVIEW This episode names the mechanism. Episodes one through three built the architecture of the performing woman — the pattern, the cost, the way the body holds what performance asks you to suppress. Now we go one layer deeper, to the specific story that taught you to doubt your own knowing. That story is the Snow Queen. But not the timeless archetype you may assume she is. The Snow Queen is a documented 19th-century literary response to rejection — one man's inability to tolerate...

The Performing Woman
EPISODE OVERVIEW This episode names something most high-functioning people have never had language for: the specific exhaustion of competent performance. Not burnout from doing too much — the deeper cost of managing your interior life before anyone ever has to witness it. The performing woman is not faking her life. She is doing everything she is supposed to do, with genuine skill and genuine care, while running a continuous background process of self-management that never shows up on a list ...

What Your Body Has Been Trying To Tell You
EPISODE OVERVIEW This episode goes into interoception — the body's ability to perceive its own internal states — and why it matters more than almost anything else in this work. Research consistently shows that people socialized as women receive stronger interoceptive signals than people socialized as men, while also being more likely to distrust what they're feeling. That gap between signal strength and signal trust is not a personal failure. It is the predictable result of a culture that ha...
