Fumbling Towards Awakening

21) Staying With Yourself: Boundaries, Attachment, and Nervous System Truth

Why you can know your boundaries and still cross them sometimes...(hint: there's nothing wrong with you!)
This episode is a real-time reflection on boundaries. How they show up in the body, how they collapse under attachment, and what it takes to stay with yourself when desire and grief are present.
I share a personal story from my own dating life and speak candidly about self-abandonment, panic, and the moment my body made something impossible to ignore. This is not a conversation from the other side of healing. It’s from inside the practice.
In this episode, I explore:
Why boundaries often fall apart in moments of emotional intimacy
How the body communicates long before the mind catches up
Self-abandonment as a learned survival pattern
The difference between knowing your boundaries and being able to hold them
Internal boundaries and staying in agreement with yourself
Energetic boundaries and where attention, fantasy, and attachment go
Relational boundaries and clean endings without blame
The space between wanting connection and choosing to stay with yourself
This episode also includes a guided embodiment practice to help you feel boundaries in your body and relate to them as an act of self-relationship, not self-control.
If you’re navigating attachment, dating, or learning how to listen to yourself more honestly, this conversation is an invitation to slow down and stay present with what’s true.

20) Tantra Isn’t What You Think It Is: The Truth About Turn-On, Desire, and Surrender

When I say turn-on, what comes up for you?Most people think sex - but it is so much bigger than that.
In this episode, I unpack what Tantra actually is (and isn’t), how it connects to desire and aliveness, and why being turned-on has more to do with presence and surrender than performance or control.
We’ll explore:🌿 The roots of Classical Tantra vs. Neo-Tantra and modern Sacred Sexuality💫 What “turn-on” really means - and how it shows up far beyond the bedroom🕊 How surrender, boundaries, and safety let your life-force move freely☕ A simple somatic practice to reconnect with your own inner current of pleasure and ease
If you’re craving more softness, presence, and authentic turn-on - this one’s for you.

19) Reiki, Resilience, and Remembering Who We Are

What if the hardest things you’ve lived through could become the very thing that heals you?
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Melissa, a bodyworker, energy healer, and sound practitioner based in Massachusetts, to talk about how she turned deep trauma and loss into a life rooted in love, service, and feminine power.
Melissa and I grew up together in rural Maine, in a place marked by addiction, silence, and survival. Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we choose to face our pain and let it become medicine.
We talk about:
What it takes to unlearn survival mode and finally feel safe in your body
How healing, motherhood, and boundaries can rewrite generational patterns
Learning to trust your intuition again and let your life be guided by something deeper
⚠️ Trigger warning: Mentions of childhood trauma, abuse, and addiction.

17) The Question That Changed the Room

What if the hardest question to answer is also the one that sets you free?
On a recent Sacred Rage call, I asked the women:👉 “If you could do anything you wanted… what would it be?”
And the room went silent. Eyes wide. Nervous laughter. One woman whispered: “I’ve never even thought about that.”
In this episode, I share:
The story of that moment, and what it revealed about how deeply we’ve been taught to silence our desires.
Why so many of us find it terrifying to name what we want (hello conditioning, fear of being “too much,” and the ache of past disappointments).
My own current season of transition—leaving Bali, soaking in Croatia with a dear friend who’s living her dream life, and being confronted by my own longing.
The humbling energy healing session I received here, where I was invited to taste my own medicine and sit with the mantra: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. And I’m open.”
How rage clears the debris, boundaries create safety, and desire begins to bloom when we let ourselves feel it all.

18) When “coming home” doesn’t feel like home anymore

After three years abroad, I’ve been back in the U.S. for just over a week...and it’s been a lot. Reverse culture shock, old family dynamics, friendships that feel different, and the intensity of re-entering this cultural climate.
In this episode, I share:

16) Sharks, Desire & the Dance of Boundaries + Longing

Boundaries and desire are meant to dance - but what happens when they step on each other’s toes?
In this raw episode, I share two real stories - one about love, one about work - and how both brought me face-to-face with fear, longing, and the messy balance between desire and boundaries.
You’ll hear:
The moment I knew I was “swimming with sharks” in dating… and why I went anyway.
Why it’s taken years to fully own my work as a tantric practitioner, healer, and entrepreneur.
How masculine (structure) and feminine (flow) energies from the Tantric tradition can help you find balance.
Tools to pursue your desires while creating boundaries that feel like devotion.

15) When Transformation Gets Co-Opted: On Bodies, Beauty, and the Messy Truth

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes personal stories about disordered eating, body image struggles, and diet culture. Please take care while listening.
In this raw, real, and slightly ranty episode, I’m diving into something that’s been stirring in me for a long time...and honestly, I’ve just had enough.
Let’s talk about how “transformation” is being co-opted in the coaching and wellness space, especially when it’s reduced to weight loss or before-and-after photos.
I share my personal journey with disordered eating, including childhood body shame, bulimia, martial arts culture, yoga obsession, and even the ways “wellness” became a new costume for control. I get into how all of that still shows up (quietly, insidiously) even now, in my 40s, living in Bali, and running a coaching business that’s supposed to be about embodiment.
We talk about:
Why thinness isn’t proof of healing
How transformation often looks invisible, messy, or nonlinear
What red flags to watch for when control creeps back in
And how to come home to your body, again and again
If you’ve ever felt like your body had to look a certain way to be taken seriously - or sell your work - or feel “aligned,” this one’s for you.Learn more about Accessible Yoga at www.accessibleyogaschool.comLearn more about working with me at www.JennNoble.com 

14) Befriending Fear

This one’s for the weirdos, the truth-speakers, the ones in the midst of big shifts, and the tender-hearted humans learning to ride the waves.This is my favorite episode to date, because it’s the first one where I’m not flying solo. I got to sit down with my dear friend and former client Shell… and her wildly wise, hilarious 8-year-old daughter, Harriet.
What starts as a playful conversation about water slides and Bali cats turns into a raw, honest, and beautiful reflection on fear, personal growth, and what it actually takes to live in alignment with your truth.
Shell and I met at a Tantra retreat a few years ago - she showed up not knowing what Tantra even was, and left with her life forever changed. In this conversation, we revisit that retreat, the story of her “safari suit moment,” and all the brave, messy steps she’s taken since to reclaim her power.
We talk about:
How childhood moments shape how we hold power and shame
Why doing the scary thing (yes, even when your undies fall down on the slide) leads to expansion
The very real unraveling that often happens when we start living in our truth
The difference between feeling seen and just being “fixed”
Why having someone in your corner (a container) makes all the difference
And how parenting and personal growth are more intertwined than we think
If you’re in a season of change, or on the edge of one, this episode is a reminder that fear is part of the path… and you’re not doing it wrong just because things feel hard.
Let’s dive in.

13) Boundaries Aren’t Walls - They’re Doorways

Ever had one of those weeks where life cracks you wide open… and everything connects?
That’s where I am right now. And I’m bringing you with me.
In this episode, I share:
A somatic exorcism that cut a decades-old ancestral cord
A vulnerable moment on what I thought was a date
A heart-dearmoring session that brought me face-to-face with my inner child
And a decision I’ve recently made that’s about to change everything (yep... big news in here 👀)
If you’ve ever struggled with how to stay open and protected… soft and sovereign… this one’s for you.

12) They Weren’t Kidding About Entrepreneurship Being a Spiritual Initiation

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really means to build a soul-led business - the beauty, the terror, the full-body spiritual initiation of it all.
 
I talk about waking up with panic, hiring support that stretches me, and confronting the deep ancestral fears that rise when we start to truly step into our dharma. I share how sales used to feel manipulative — and how I’ve come to understand it as sacred connection. And I open up about the recent realization that I was named after my grandmother - a woman whose pain left deep imprints in my family line - and how this work I’m doing now is part of healing that legacy.
 
You’ll also hear reflections from the Bhagavad Gita, nervous system truths about why transformation feels so scary, and the powerful reminder that if we don’t share what we offer… we might be keeping someone from the exact medicine they need.
