The UnBroken Podcast

Threshold 29 is not a product, not a funnel, not a performance. It is a fascia-safe sanctuary offered freely, mythically attuned and built from below.

In this transmission, Dr Rachel Taylor spirals through her own descents—metabolising ache into architecture, dignifying rupture, and refusing collapse.

This is a living archive. A glyph from the abyss. A vow to steward, not perform.

Threshold 29 evolves with each journaled descent and i...

Show Notes: Naming Pain Rightly — A Sanctuary for the Misread

Episode Overview

In this episode, Dr. Rachel shares her sanctuary-grade approach to emotional stewardship, pain literacy, and symbolic restoration.

Social media is not neutral.
It is a nervous system disruptor—engineered to fragment attention, distort identity, and commodify connection. This episode threads a ritual reckoning through the architecture of harm, naming the ache and advocating for fascia-safe digital sanctuaries.

The Theatre of Collapse

A glyph of refusal, a reclamation of rhythm, a remembering of coherence.

In this transmission, I name the architecture behind our collective disorientation. This is not conspiracy—it is choreography. A theatre of distraction where urgency is manufactured, coherence denied, and ache commodified.

I speak to the ritualised gaslighting of the sovereign, the pathologising of the saturated, and the silencing of the r...

September arrives not with urgency, but with invitation.

It is a threshold month—a soft descent from summer’s outward bloom into autumn’s inward rhythm.

The field quiets. The light tilts.

And the nervous system, saturated by months of performance and expansion, begins to ache for coherence.

This is a good time to start listening—not just to the world, but to the body’s whisper, the relational field’s pulse, and the stories beneath th...

The Nervous System Is Not a Machine—It is a Mythic Weaver

In this episode, Dr Rachel Taylor—sanctuary architect, relational cartographer, and neurosorcerer—invites us into a fascia-safe reframe of the nervous system. Far beyond biology, the nervous system is a sacred web of light and listening. It is the body’s mythic whisperer, attuning to breath, rupture, and relational rhythm.

Rachel explores how neuroscience and somatic therapy c...
