Juliana sits on a tropical beach in Thailand, looking up and asks God, “what’s wrong with me?” On this episode of The Champagne Society Podcast, we explore what God answered back. 

Julianna felt called to a life of travel and self-exploration, yet always found herself—in her words—“in a perpetual state of discontent.” 

Then she unexpectedly found herself pregnant, alone, in India. 

Listen in on her fascinating life story and her inspiring self-trust that led her to the present day, where she’s a mama of 3, living in Canada, pumping out IG reels like it’s her job . . . because, well, it kind of is.

Marriage, Reconnection

What if the key to breaking through relationship conflicts isn’t in the talking but in the listening… to your body? In this episode, Gervase reveals how shifting from mind-based strategies to somatic and soul approaches (read: dropping out of the mind and into the body) transformed a weeks-long rupture in her marriage into a moment of deep connection and repair. Listen in as she shares her struggles with “circling the drain” with repetitive arguments, how the mind can get in the way of reconciliation, and the power of the body in moving through relationship stalemates. Keep listening for questions you can ask yourself to explore the practice of dropping into your body wisdom, and for a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always come from trying harder but from thinking differently.
