    In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford dives into the often-misunderstood world of healing and mental health - specifically, what the industry gets wrong. From the limits of talk therapy to the overuse of trauma buzzwords, she breaks down why somatic work is the missing piece for real transformation.

It's candid, eye-opening, and packed with insights for growth-driven women ready to deepen their personal evolution.   Takeaways: The healing and mental health space has significant gaps. Cognitive behavioral therapy often fails to create real transformation. Awareness alone is not enough for healing; integration is key. Healing involves allowing all feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Permission is essential for true healing to occur. Over-pathologizing can perpetuate feelings of shame and brokenness. Spiritual bypassing can hinder genuine healing efforts. Not all practitioners are equally trained; discernment is crucial. Somatic work addresses the deeper layers of trauma. True healing requires a personalized approach based on individual experiences.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

    In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri discusses the importance of faith and faith-based practices in her daily routine. Everyone experiences their own connection with religion and faith in different ways, but it can be beneficial listening to another person sharing their personal experiences as well. There are numerous lessons of faith and hope out there, and perhaps one of them can resonate with you. When we talk about religion, it is understood that it can help us move forward in life. Many times, we seek support from religion and God to let go of things that no longer serve us, allowing us to reach new levels and receive new blessings. Communicating with God, however, can take many forms and is a deeply personal experience. Finding your own way to connect can be subjective, but most of all, inspirational. Tune in!
