Summary

What if your core wounds aren't things to conquer, but parts of yourself that just need to be seen, heard, and understood? And what if the reason manifestation feels effortless in your imagination but impossible in action has nothing to do with motivation…and everything to do with your nervous system? This week, Jessica sits down with somatic therapist and parts work expert Sarah Baldwin for a conversation that will completely reframe how you understand manifestation. Together, they explore why your nervous system calls the shots on what you attract, and how the self-protective patterns you developed as a child are quietly keeping you from stepping into your purpose, relationships, visibility, and expansion as an adult. Using Somatic Experiencing & Internal Family Systems (IFS) and spiritual practices, Sarah explains how our minds are made up of different "parts" — inner voices or emotional states, each with their own fears and roles. The parts that learned to protect you in childhood don't disappear; they keep running in the background, quietly shaping what you believe you're allowed to have. Unblocking starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them, and learning to become a loving, attuned parent to your inner child. With nervous system regulation and parts work, you'll move through fear without forcing it, gradually expanding your capacity to hold more goodness. If manifestation feels clear in theory but sticky in practice, this episode will show you why, and guide you in softening the walls that have been keeping you from the life you've been waiting for.

0:00.0	The nervous system is the foundation of everything. It's the vehicle to unlock the life that we're wanting.
0:05.2	How do you step towards the things that you want? Regulate and befriend your nervous system.
0:11.1	Show it, not tell it, that the life you want is safe. We do those things. The life you want is right there on the other side.
0:19.9	You have likely heard about nervous system regulation.
0:23.1	Maybe you are familiar with the importance of it, how it may be blocking your manifestations.
0:29.0	But in this episode, we're going to really go into depth of how our nervous system is impacting
0:35.8	our blocks, our manifestations, and why it is creating
0:40.7	self-sabotage in the things that we truly want. Nervous system regulation is something that we've
0:46.9	been talking about at TBM for years. There is a reason that we have nervous system regulating
0:50.8	tools at the top of all of our deep imaginings. It is why we started working with Janelle Nelson, a somatic practitioner, to bring a lot of
0:58.3	these tools into it.
0:59.4	Because if our body is not online with our goals, then we're not going to reach our manifestations.
1:05.5	And in this episode today, I am so excited for guest Sarah Baldwin.
1:10.3	She's a somatic experiencing practitioner who is versed in internal family systems,
1:15.4	nervous system work, healing modalities, trauma therapy.
1:18.3	And she breaks down exactly what is happening in our manifestation blocks so clearly when it
1:27.3	comes to our nervous system and how to start loving on the
1:31.7	parts of us, how to be gentle with those parts that are blocking us, with those narratives,
1:37.3	with those stories. In the episode, she touches on a segment around how to converse with those
1:43.5	parts. If you're looking for a tool to do this
1:45.8	within the TBM work, stick around to the end of the episode and I'll give you some tips.
1:50.4	And I also just want to flag that we were so excited to record this episode that the first 10
