Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields returns solo to the mic, answering listener questions for the first time as she dives deeper into the essential– yet often challenging– Second Step of the “Hey, Wait” process.

Emily, a listener of the podcast, recently faced an upsetting moment at choir practice when someone took her stand without asking. Many of us have been in situations where we later wished we had spoken up, asserted ourselves, or found our voice. In this episode, Jay uses Emily’s story as a starting point to explore somatic experiencing– a practice that uses imagination to unlock bodily sensations– and explains how it can help Emily (and you!) move forward with more agency.

As we learned in Episode One, the “Hey, Wait” process has three key steps. Today, we focus on Step 2: Pausing– the moment you stop reacting and start tuning into your inner experience. It’s a deceptively difficult practice, requiring you to actually feel what’s going on inside. Jay breaks it down with clarity and compassion, offering real tools to help you integrate this step into your own life.

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by author, speaker, and founder of the Neurosculpting Institute, Lisa Wimberger. On her fifteenth birthday Lisa was–quite literally–struck by lightning. As a result of the trauma, she began to experience frequent seizures which were debilitating and which forced her to regularly confront near-death experiences.

Lisa’s “Hey, Wait” moment happened when she became a mother, and she realized that she needed to put herself first, so that she could put her daughter first. She began studying Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity, and she learned to train her brain and nervous system to override the seizures. Due to the techniques she now teaches through Neurosculpting, her last seizure was twenty years ago.

Since then, Lisa’s Neurosculpting technique has transformed countless lives. Throughout the episode, Lisa is incredibly generous in sharing personal anecdotes to express the value she’s gained from her practice, including stories that she has never spoken in public before now. If you’d like to learn more about Neurosculpting, and to access Free Meditations and more, or to sign up for Lisa’s “Congruence Retreat” coming this June 20-22, 2025, head over to the official Neurosculpting website at https://www.neurosculpting.com/.

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by Author, Social Worker, Professor, and Speaker, Melody Wilding. Melody’s “Hey, Wait” Moment was made possible through psychology– not only by making an effort to recognize and adjust her own headspace… but also by adapting to the psychology of the people who work as her superiors.

Jay and Melody have so much in common, and their similar approach to life is apparent right away. Throughout their discussion the two talk about “Managing Up”, a concept that allows you to gain more authority, freedom, and confidence at work. They provide fantastic strategies and scripts that are actionable that you can use to gain back a sense of your own reality in the workplace– one of our key missions here on the “Hey, Wait” Podcast.
