Sacred Self: Sensuality, Solo Motherhood and Soul-Led Business with Montana Lower

In this deeply honest and intimate episode of The Upgrade Edit, I sit down with relationship and men’s work coach Ryan Moresby-White to reflect on a sacred, unspoken experience we shared - one that cracked open the true potential of masculine and feminine polarity.

What happens when two people, both doing the inner work, meet each other in full presence with no expectation, no labels, just energy, safety and trust?

We explore the power of being truly met emotionally, energetically and spiritually, and the intimacy that arises when the masculine holds and the feminine softens.

Together, we speak to:

The electric charge of sacred polarity

The importance of safety in opening to connection

Embodied masculine presence and divine feminine receptivity

Healing through energetic intimacy without needing it to become anything

What it means to feel held, and to hold, beyond words

This episode is for anyone who’s been longing to feel safe in love, deep in their body and alive in connection. It’s a transmission. A remembering. A permission slip.

Together, we explore self-forgiveness as a powerful pathway to healing the body, mind, and spirit.

We also dive into:

The science and soul behind nervous system regulation

How to create inner safety and move out of survival mode

The link between emotional healing and feminine energy

Rituals and practices for releasing guilt and reconnecting with your body

Healing OCD, Hashimoto’s & Hustle: Kristy Morris on Wellness, Motherhood & Mission

In this episode, I share the unexpected story of how I manifested a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru—a journey I didn’t plan, but one that feels deeply aligned with where my soul is meant to go.

I originally thought I’d be spending my summer in Italy, enjoying the European sunshine. But the universe had other plans. Instead, I was invited to a 6-day Ayahuasca retreat deep in the Amazon jungle, guided by shamans at the Arkana Spiritual Centre. A complete shift from what I envisioned, yet everything in me knows this is exactly where I need to be.

In this episode, I explore:

How a planned European holiday unexpectedly turned into a spiritual retreat in Peru

The intuitive nudges and synchronicities that guided me to say yes

What it means to surrender when life reroutes your path

Why discomfort often signals expansion and transformation

How I’m preparing emotionally, mentally, and spiritually for this plant medicine journey

This is a conversation about trusting timing, listening to intuition, and allowing life to unfold in ways that may not make sense at first—but ultimately lead to deeper healing and clarity.

My journey begins at the end of July, and I’ll be sharing more reflections from the Amazon as they unfold. ENJOY THE RIDE!
