it's not too late | mirroring, 7 year cycles, & childhood development

<p dir="ltr">this is one for the common question that comes through from our course communities: what if my child is already over the age of 7? </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">in season 01, we recorded an episode on mirroring where we explored the biologic imprinting that happens during those early, formative years. this conversation serves as a follow-up, speaking directly to mothers who feel they may have “missed the window.” we dive into how airway health, behavior, & movement reflect the environment, and how mothers’ narratives—like “it’s too late”—become blocks to their own resourcing. we explore why this space particularly is where we see mother’s lock in their outsourcing victimhood trajectory.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">we take a look at developmental glitches as we grow into adolescence, the energy system requirements for creating space, the imprinting of shadow & challenge onto children through the mother’s comfort (or discomfort) with life. we question the outsourcing culture of “fixing problems” through quick interventions, instead offering the invitation for mothers to resource themselves first. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">for mothers of older children, this episode is a reminder that initiations & rites of passage are still available, always. this is the opportunity to reclaim responsibility, rewrite patterns, become aware of your environmental mismatches and hold the frame for yourself & your family.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">JOIN THE KITCHEN SESSIONS <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/the-kitchen-sessions">HERE</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">OUR WEST COAST SESSIONS <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/villageliveshow">LIVE SHOW</a> (only a few tickets left)</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">links mentioned //</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">purchase your own <a href= "https://raoptics.com/?rfsn=8547271.cc940c">ra optics</a> lenses with code VILLAGE</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">get connected & begin your experience //</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">sign up for a <a href= "https://app.punchpass.com/org/12247/classes">bowspring class</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">follow us on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/villagesessionspodcast/">instagram</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">the vessel — enrolling for the month of august. <a href="https://vessevillage.typeform.com/summerapp25">link</a> to apply!</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">join <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/rootedfamilies">rooted families</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">join our pregnancy + birth course <a href= "https://molly-peralta.mykajabi.com/offers/oWLU6Enn/checkout">the village birth</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">apply for <a href= "https://www.michalechatham.com/true-north">true north</a></p> <p> </p>

your body is shaped by how you see yourself | a holistic approach to weight

<p dir="ltr">in this episode of the village sessions, we unpack the energetics of weight gain —what “stubborn weight,” inflammation & body composition reveal about how we live, move & resource ourselves. michale shares her experience of dropping 30 pounds, the shifts required to create that outcome. as well as the mismatch she found in the modern version of “trad wife” culture when dynamic movement was missing.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">we explore how your outer body * mirrors * your inner perception, the connection between midsection fat & boundaries & how holding weight can become protection, martyrdom, or a way of shrinking in the world. from the dopamine hit of scrolling under the guise of rest, to the energetics of specific weight holding patterns, to the role of light, marriage dynamics, & even ozempic.. we’re revealing why bodies represent their function & how reclaiming energy is key to vitality.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">possibly our most loaded episode to date—this one’s about moving past victim consciousness into a resourced, embodied state of being.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">JOIN THE KITCHEN SESSIONS <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/the-kitchen-sessions">HERE</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">OUR WEST COAST SESSIONS <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/villageliveshow">LIVE SHOW</a> (only a few tickets left)</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">links mentioned //</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">purchase your own <a href= "https://raoptics.com/?rfsn=8547271.cc940c">ra optics</a> lenses with code VILLAGE</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">get connected & begin your experience //</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">sign up for a <a href= "https://app.punchpass.com/org/12247/classes">bowspring class</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">follow us on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/villagesessionspodcast/">instagram</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">join <a href= "https://www.korimeloy.com/rootedfamilies">rooted families</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">join our pregnancy + birth course <a href= "https://molly-peralta.mykajabi.com/offers/oWLU6Enn/checkout">the village birth</a></p> <p><br /> apply for <a href="https://www.michalechatham.com/true-north">true north</a></p>
