Episode 12 - What is somatic therapy - and why does your body still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck… even when you understand your trauma?

There comes a point in healing where insight stops being enough.

You know your patterns.
You know where they come from.
But your body is still reacting.

In this episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, I break down somatic therapy in a way that’s grounded, clear, and deeply real — so you can understand what’s actually happening in your nervous system and why your healing hasn’t fully landed yet.

Inside this episode, we explore:

- What the nervous system actually is (in simple, human language)
- Why your body responds from past experiences, not just the present
- The four core survival states: fight, flight, fawn, and freeze
- How the fawn response leads to people-pleasing and self-abandonment
- Why you can “know better” but still feel stuck
- How somatic therapy works to create safety in the body
- And how to begin shifting from survival into grounded flow

We are living in a time where the nervous system is constantly activated - pressure, urgency, disconnection, overstimulation.

Your body isn’t failing.
It’s adapting.

And healing happens when you learn how to work with it.
Your body is not the problem. It’s the pathway.

Episode 11 - Integrated Practice: How to Live Your Healing Every Day

Healing isn’t a peak moment, it’s a practice. And most people are performing their healing, not living it.

In this potent episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, Briony guides us into what integrated practice really means: how to take your trauma healing, nervous system repair, and somatic tools off the yoga mat and into the messy, beautiful reality of daily life.

Explore how inherited trauma, collapse archetypes, spiritual bypassing, and colonised healing culture create barriers to true transformation and how we reclaim power through presence.

Integration isn’t glamorous. It’s gritty.

Episode 9 - Embodied Grief: The Alchemy of Feeling
The Unfuckwithable Woman Podcast

Grief is not a mistake. It is not weakness. It is not a problem to fix.

In this powerful episode, Briony invites us into a deep, embodied exploration of grief as a sacred threshold: one that initiates, transforms, and reveals the truth of who we are. Drawing from personal experience, somatic therapy, and the collective grief woven through the motherline, she reminds us that grief held in the body is not dysfunction, it’s intelligence.

This is a space to honour your rage, tenderness, exhaustion, and ache.
A space to remember that feeling deeply is not something to survive, it’s something to alchemise.

If you are grieving - a person, an identity, a future that never came - this episode offers a grounded place to begin again, through the body.

Episode 8 - Tending to the Nervous System, Reclaiming Power

What if your tiredness wasn’t laziness, but a body in functional freeze?
What if your shutdown wasn’t failure, but a sacred signal?

In this deeply embodied episode, Briony Montgomery speaks to the unseen impacts of a dysregulated nervous system - especially for women shaped by trauma, the motherwound, and the archetypes of the martyr, the death mother, and the parentified child.

Drawing from the lived frameworks of The SomaTherapy Collective, she explores how:

• Cultural systems thrive on keeping women disconnected from their bodies

• Midlife and menopause are invitations to reclaim power, softness, and truth

• Chronic illness, exhaustion and autoimmune symptoms are often nervous system responses, not defects

• Grief and anger are vital catalysts in re-regulation and rising rooted

• True regulation is not calmness - but capacity

You’ll be guided to listen for the wisdom beneath your body’s symptoms, and begin tending to what your nervous system has carried for too long.

This is not just a healing episode. It’s a reclamation.

Episode 4: The Ancestral Mother Wound

“The pain you carry may not be yours alone.”

This episode explores the Ancestral Mother Wound - the grief, silence, rage, and trauma that ripple through our maternal lines, shaping how we love, parent, and belong.

It’s the inheritance of patriarchy, colonisation, and death mother culture.
It’s why so many women feel unseen, exhausted, and disconnected from community and the earth.
It’s the rupture that lives in our bodies, nervous systems, and DNA.

And yet it is also the key to our healing.
When we tend to this wound, we don’t just free ourselves. We shift what we pass down. We reclaim belonging, repair attachment, and metabolise grief and rage into vitality.

In this episode, Briony shares her story and the somatic, ancestral, and nervous system practices that help us remember the primordial mother within- the one who fiercely protects life, welcomes all of our emotions, and roots us back into community and love.

Episode 3: From Loss to Liberation – My Story & the Birth of The MotherWay

What happens when the mother is gone?

In this special episode, I share the most personal story of my life - the death of my mother, the grief that nearly swallowed me, and the burnout, depression, and disconnection that followed.

For many of us, this ache is all too familiar:
Feeling unseen and unsupported in grief.
Silencing yourself to belong.
Carrying shame for being “too much” or “not enough.”
Burning out from giving until there’s nothing left.

When no system, no family, and no elder could guide me, I began piecing together my own map - a way to tend to grief, rage, and trauma, to regulate my nervous system, and to reconnect with community and belonging.

That map became The MotherWay - a 16-week somatic, decolonised journey back to self, body, and the primordial mother within.

This episode is a raw telling of how The MotherWay was born, and why it is the balm for the pain so many of us carry.

Episode 2: Yearning for the Mother

Do you feel the ache for something you can’t quite name?
A longing for safety, love, and belonging that was never fully met?

This is the yearning for the mother - not just for our personal mothers, and not for the idealised, patriarchal version of “the good mother” who sacrifices herself to exhaustion. What we are truly yearning for is the Primordial Mother: fierce, discerning, boundaried, and deeply loving. She welcomes grief, rage, chaos, joy, and tenderness as sacred parts of life.

In this episode, I share my own story of loss and rupture, and explore:
The idealised patriarchal mother - self-erasing, controlled, and mirrored in the collapse of our world.
The archetypal mother - more embodied, but still colonised and bound by perfection.
The primordial mother - the one our bones ache for. Fierce and stable, she restores us to wholeness and belonging.

If you’ve carried trauma, grief, or shame for being “too much” or “not enough,” this episode will guide you back to the mother within.
