   The Medicine Women Before Me: Ancestral Wisdom, Family Healing, and the Women Who Shaped Me

   What does it mean to inherit the wisdom of the women who came before you? Sometimes, it lives in a family recipe, a home remedy, a dream, or the instinct to care for someone who is hurting. In this episode of Reclaimed, Silvia Hazel shares the stories of the medicine women in her family: her grandmother, great-grandmother, and mother. Their lives and the knowledge they passed down continue to shape how she understands healing and the work she does with clients today. It begins with a cookbook her aunt made, filled with her grandmother’s recipes. When Silvia cooks from it, she can almost smell her grandmother’s house. Her grandmother, Serafina, was a compassionate, intelligent woman with an infectious laugh and a gift for making people feel cared for. After leaving Cuba with four young children, she built a new life from scratch, keeping her family fed and her home filled with warmth. But Silvia also wonders about the feelings that may have remained unspoken beneath her grandmother’s strength. What happens to grief, anguish, and rage when a woman has to keep going? When everyone depends on her, is there room for her to fall apart? These questions connect deeply to Silvia’s work today, helping people make room for the feelings and experiences that previous generations may not have had the freedom to express. She also shares the remarkable story of her great-grandmother, who was denied a formal education until a tutor insisted she deserved one. As she grew older, she began dreaming of letters, numbers, and chemical formulas that she eventually recognized as remedies for people in her village. She became known for her ability to help those who were ill. Two women named Serafina, each carrying a different expression of healing: one who dreamed of remedies for her community, and another who carried four children across the water and kept the stove burning in a new home. Silvia also honors her mother, whose medicine lives in the food she prepares, the kitchen remedies she shares, and her desire to make sure everyone is fed, cared for, and held. She may not call it medicine, but Silvia recognizes the healing in these everyday acts of love. In this episode, Silvia explores ancestral healing, generational wisdom, family traditions, and the complicated legacy of being strong. She reflects on how the women before us shape our understanding of care, and how we can honor their resilience while making space for the emotions they may have had to carry quietly. A gentle invitation: Think about the healers in your own family, even if no one called them that. Perhaps it was a grandmother with a home remedy, an aunt who always knew what to say, or a relative whose cooking brought everyone together. Ask an older family member for a story you have never heard before, and write it down so it does not get lost. If you would like to keep exploring what your body has been carrying, join Silvia for the final two sessions of her free workshop series, The Body Is Not Overreacting, on Monday, October 26, and Monday, November 2. Register here: https://www.silviahazel.com/workshop (https://www.silviahazel.com/workshop) To the women who came before us, thank you for the laughter, the cooking, the courage, and the care. And to the women who carry that wisdom forward, may we remember that healing takes many forms, and some of its earliest lessons begin at home. Welcome to Reclaimed.

   The Back Body: How Grief, Posture, and the Nervous System Teach Us to Stop Reaching and Start Receiving

   What if grief has a posture? In this episode, Silvia explores the “back body” and what happens when we spend our lives leaning forward toward the next task, the next outcome, the next season, or the moment when we’ll finally feel better. After noticing her own shoulders rounding forward and her weight shifting into the balls of her feet during a season of grief, Silvia began to wonder what the body is communicating when we are constantly reaching for what comes next. She talks about the achiever part of us that knows how to keep moving, stay productive, and look toward the future, even when what we actually need is permission to stay present with what is here. The back body offers something different. It doesn’t reach. It receives. Leaning back into a chair, a wall, the floor, a tree, or another person can become a simple embodied practice of letting yourself be held rather than constantly holding everything yourself. It isn’t about collapsing or avoiding life. It’s about finding enough support to experience the full range of what is here: grief and joy, ache and beauty, what broke you and what is putting you back together. In this episode, Silvia shares how this simple practice helped her move through grief without letting it swallow her, and why nervous system safety isn’t always about resolving the hard thing. Sometimes it’s about discovering that you already have the capacity to hold it. If you’ve been feeling like you’re always waiting for the next thing to happen before you can fully arrive in your life, this episode is an invitation to stop reaching for a moment that hasn’t happened yet. Let your back find something solid. Let yourself lean back. Let yourself arrive. In this episode: • The connection between posture, grief, and the nervous system • Why achievement can sometimes become a way of leaving the present moment • What the “back body” can teach us about receiving and being supported • The difference between moving forward and constantly reaching for what’s next • A simple embodied practice for grounding and nervous system safety • How to make space for grief without needing to resolve it • Why you don’t have to wait until life feels “better” to experience safety, joy, or capacity If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that they don’t have to keep reaching. You’re allowed to arrive here.

   Raising Kids in an Age of Anxiety: Krissi Boehmer on Boundaries, Screens, and Compassionate Parenting

   Silvia sits down with parent coach Krissi Boehmer to unpack why so many kids today are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and shutdown — and what parents can actually do about it. They dig into how constant visibility and information overload are dysregulating children, what healthy boundaries around phones and screens look like in practice, and how to be both firm and compassionate at the same time. Krissi shares where parents most often go wrong with authority and delivery, how parent coaching can shift a family's culture (rather than putting the burden on a therapist), and the first steps to take when you notice a child pulling inward. Along the way: why "say less" matters when a child is overwhelmed, how auditory processing changes in stressful moments, and Krissi's final advice for parents who feel like they're doing it all wrong.

   Your Body Isn't Broken, It's Protecting You: The Hidden Story Behind Fatigue, Hormones & Anxiety

   What if your fatigue, your bloating, your hormone chaos, your anxiety — aren't signs that your body is broken, but signs that it's protecting you? In this episode, functional medicine nurse practitioner Sylvia challenges one of the most common (and most limiting) questions in health and wellness: "How do we make these symptoms disappear?" Instead, she offers a different question — one that changed her own life and the lives of hundreds of her patients: "What has your body been trying to tell me?" Sylvia shares her personal story of being a nurse practitioner who understood medicine inside and out, yet still felt completely lost inside her own body — migraines, hormonal chaos, gut issues, and a quiet depression she'd almost convinced herself was just "who she was." Working nights, mothering a newborn, and slowly disappearing into her symptoms, she found that what finally shifted things wasn't a new supplement or protocol. It was a completely different framework for understanding the body. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why chronic fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalance, anxiety, and autoimmune flares may be your body's way of carrying a weight it was never able to put down Why testing, elimination diets, protocols, and even therapy can all be "right" and still not create lasting change The connection between nervous system safety and physical healing — and why a nervous system that doesn't feel safe will choose protection over healing every time How functional medicine tools like advanced lab testing, hormone panels, gut health assessments, and nutrition work together with nervous system and mind-body work — not instead of it Why the split between "physical health" and "emotional health" is something we invented, not something your body ever believed in What it actually means to help your body feel safe enough to heal, rather than simply managed This episode is for you if you've done "everything right" — the labs, the diet changes, the supplements, the elimination protocols — and still feel like something fundamental hasn't moved. Sylvia offers a compassionate, science-informed lens on why that happens, and what a different kind of healing conversation can look like. Sylvia is a functional medicine nurse practitioner who works at the intersection of advanced lab testing, nutrition, hormone health, gut health, and nervous system regulation. Her approach blends the clinical tools of functional medicine with an understanding of the mind-body connection, trauma-informed care, and nervous system safety — helping patients move beyond symptom management toward genuine, lasting healing. If any part of this episode landed in your body — if you felt something exhale, or felt a flicker of recognition — that's not an accident. That's an invitation to a different kind of conversation about your health. Listen now and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

   The Ache of Not Belonging Anywhere — And What It's Actually Asking You

   Why do you feel homeless inside your own life — even when everything around you is beautiful? In this episode, we sit with one of the quietest, most persistent aches there is: the sense of being inside your own life and somehow not quite in it. You've done everything right by most measures. Good people surround you. And still there's this low hum underneath everything, a feeling of not quite belonging anywhere. This isn't evidence that something is wrong with you. It's a signal. And it's asking you something. We start where a lot of us secretly started — with The Lion King. Not the bravery, not the destiny, but the part that actually wrecks you as an adult: the return. Simba doesn't want to go home. There's a little boy in him still screaming no, and he has to do it anyway. If that grief lives in your body too, this one is for you. Together we explore what "coming home to yourself" actually means — and why home was never a building, a ZIP code, or even a particular arrangement of people who love you. Home is an arrival in the body. It's the internal conditions that make touching down inside yourself not just possible, but welcomed. And when those conditions aren't there, it doesn't matter what surrounds you. You can be in the most beautiful room, held by people who love you, and still be completely homeless inside yourself. We talk about the part of homecoming nobody says out loud: it isn't always peaceful. Sometimes coming back to the body means walking into the house where you left the grief on the counter, the anger behind a closed door, the pain you swore you'd deal with later and then didn't. We name the shame of having been gone so long, the guilt of knowing better and doing the same thing anyway — and the surrender that lets what's been waiting finally move through you instead of around you. Because you cannot selectively receive. When the grief moves, joy can finally enter. Beauty can actually land. The unlocking has to go all the way down. This episode weaves in Becky Chambers' Psalm for the Wild-Built — the monk who has everything they were supposed to want and still feels pulled toward something they can't name. What they find isn't an answer. It's permission. Permission to be a creature who searches. Permission to not yet be home, and to keep moving toward it anyway. We get into the heart of reclamation work: why belonging to yourself has to come first. Not instead of community — community is essential, we were never meant to do this in isolation — but because you cannot be truly met by another person until you're willing to meet yourself. So much of our pain lives in that gap, in asking others to give us what only we can learn to give ourselves. And we talk about the small homecomings, the ones that don't look grand at all. A cup of tea, bitter and warm, brewed by a friend who doesn't know how to help and stays anyway. Someone asking what you need with open hands and no agenda. Stepping into wildness and letting nature strip the constructs off you. Finding something ancient — a relic, an artifact — and feeling the exhale of realizing you are not the first person to carry this ache, this grief, this sense of not quite belonging. You're not the first, and you will not be the last. There's something almost like company in that. When I'm really in my body, I have access to my magnitude — every version of myself, every age, every archetype, all of it available. When I'm not, I get a limited, contracted, surviving version of me. And the way back is always the breath. The simplest possible reminder: I am here. I am allowed to be here. Simba didn't go home because he figured it out. He went home because something in him finally got tired of running, and in the stillness, he remembered who he was. The ache you feel isn't evidence of your brokenness. It's evidence that some part of you still knows the way.

   The Capacity Myth: Why You're Exhausted (And It's Not Because You're Broken)

   When was the last time you made it through a day and felt okay? Not amazing. Not healed. Not thriving. Just okay. If you're struggling to remember, this episode is for you. So many of us walk through life feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, and convinced that everyone else is somehow handling life better. We tell ourselves we just don't have enough capacity—or worse, that we were born with less of it. But what if that's not true? In this episode, Silvia Hazel explores why capacity isn't a fixed trait and why feeling like you're constantly running on empty doesn't mean you're broken. Together, we'll look at the hidden drains on your energy—from inflammation, toxins, and chronic infections to perfectionism, nervous system overload, and the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent minds. If you've ever wondered why life feels harder than it should, why rest never seems to be enough, or why you're working so hard just to keep up, this conversation may help you see yourself through a different lens. Because the problem isn't that you're weak. The problem may be that your bucket has holes in it. And once you find them, you can begin to reclaim your capacity, your energy, and your life.

   The Moment I Realized I Was Losing Myself In Motherhood

   A quiet, honest conversation about the version of motherhood I didn’t question for a long time — and what shifted when I finally did. No big breaking point. Just a slow realization that I had started abandoning myself… and calling it being a good mother. This is about what it looked like to come back to myself, question what I’d been taught, and find a way of being that actually supports both me and my family.

   Coming Back to Yourself: Presence, Safety, and the Body

   This episode is a reflection on what it really means to come back to yourself. I share the quiet grief that can arise when you realize how often you’ve been living in your mind instead of your body, and why that disconnection isn’t a failure, but something that once protected you. We talk about presence, not as a concept, but as a practice. A return to what is real, even when it feels uncomfortable. I share how I’ve been learning to meet myself in those moments instead of leaving, and why safety in the body is the foundation for healing. If you’ve been feeling scattered, disconnected, or like you’re constantly somewhere else, this is a gentle invitation to come back.

   When Excitement Turns Into Urgency: Breaking the Burnout Cycle

   This week I’m sharing something close to my heart. I’ve been noticing how excitement in my life can quickly turn into urgency. Like I have to use the energy right away or I’ll lose it. I talk about where that comes from, what it feels like in my body, and the quiet crash that follows. This is really about learning to trust that aliveness can stay. And wanting to be more present for the moments that matter most. If you’ve ever felt this too, you’re not alone.

    Before the World Had Rules

    Step away from the curated world and into something older, deeper, and untouched. This episode explores the wild spaces we once knew, places without paths, rules, or the need to control. Through reflection, we are reminded of a world that still exists just beyond our awareness, alive and unstructured. This is a return to something we did not realize we lost, a sense of belonging to life instead of trying to manage it. What happens when we stop controlling and start remembering?

    Beyond the Version of You That Stayed Small

    There are moments in life when you realize you’re standing at a threshold. One path keeps you within the familiar—comfortable, contained, and small. The other asks you to expand into something bigger. In this episode of Reclaimed, we explore the quiet forces that shape how much space we allow ourselves to take up, and what it means to move beyond the stories that once kept us small. Expansion isn’t always comfortable—but it’s often where we begin to meet the fullest version of ourselves.

    Who Gets to Be Free?

    In this episode of Reclaimed, I explore liberation beyond the curated, inspirational version of freedom we’re often shown. This isn’t about performing healing or adopting a new mindset. It’s about the kind of liberation that’s lived and embodied — the kind that rearranges your nervous system, reshapes your relationships, and unlocks creativity you didn’t even know you had access to. I also name an important truth: liberation isn’t equally accessible to everyone. Our histories, identities, and systems shape what freedom feels like — and what it costs. This conversation is reflective, honest, and layered. It’s an invitation to move beyond the aesthetic of freedom and toward something deeper, more embodied, and truly reclaimed.
