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. You'll hear why “trauma-informed” isn't enough, how to spot trained practitioners, and how true healing starts with permission, not perfection. 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.

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!

Do you sometimes feel that things are too good to be true? Am I worthy of this good news? The “Too-Good-To-Be-True Anxiety” is an actual thing, and there is a reason why you feel this way: your mind is simply following a thought pattern because of past experiences. That is why it can feel like a threat when things are going great. The key is to learn the difference between a real threat and a perceived one. In this episode of Literally First Class Podcast, Keri talks about how upper limits can test your nervous system. It is a situation that can happen in your personal life, business, or even in your relationships. It can also be an impediment to achieve more success.

How can you tell the difference between feeling overwhelmed and embracing new phases in your business? As you advance in your entrepreneurial career, it's common to have more tasks and responsibilities. However, it's important to recognize your limits. Understanding how your nervous system operates can make this distinction clearer. In this week's episode, Keri discusses this concept and emphasizes that the signs are present in your daily life; you just need to learn to identify them. To do this, gaining insight into your nervous system is essential, as it can indicate whether you're truly feeling overwhelmed or if you're simply navigating a larger plan.

In this week's episode, the topics are personal growth and relationships. Keri discusses the importance of inviting your loved ones to be part of your world and to grow alongside you. It's a concept that can be easily applied to friends and family (specially during the holiday season), but it's more commonly addressed to partners. Afterall, finding areas where both have similar goals and values is top priority in a relationship. Although growing together is the priority, one can start to feel that they are outgrowing their partner, which can happen, and it's completely normal. When this situation arises, two strategies can help soothe the friction: open communication and constant support. Tune in to learn more!

What is the best sales strategy for managing my nervous system? This is a question you might find yourself asking frequently. As we know, it's important to elevate our energy levels and minimize stress when running a business and making money. The challenge often lies in knowing how to effectively reduce stress responses, for example, before a sales call. So, in this new episode, Keri first explores the four primary stress or trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. She then shares simple yet effective practices to help you manage these responses and focus on what needs to be done. All of the strategies consider the role of the nervous system, so it's important to recognize which response you may be unintentionally exhibiting.   Episode Resources As mentioned in the episode, take an even deeper dive into my Leadership Archetype Framework and get instant access to my 3-Day Stressed to Superhuman training (includes workbook).

If you're a people-pleaser, you might sacrifice your own desires to make others happy or to reduce stress in a situation. In the online space, particularly for entrepreneurs, it's typical to act in a certain way to avoid "bothering" others or triggering them. However, it's important to understand that upsetting people as you become more visible and successful is an expected part of the process at any level of success.  In this episode, Keri discusses the importance of embracing your true self and the challenges of people-pleasing, encouraging women to own their power and not be deterred by the fear of triggering others. Keri also shares personal experiences to illustrate this concept. For people-pleasers, it's instinctive to prioritize the wants and needs of others over our own. However, if you want to become a leader, it's so important to prioritize your own wants and needs. The expectations and emotions of others come after our own. Tune in to learn more!

When faced with unfamiliar situations, the best way to conquer fear is to push through it until you emerge on the other side. This concept is simple to grasp but difficult to put into practice. Fear may try to dissuade you from taking action, but by moving through the fear and anxiety, you can ultimately become the person you want to be. In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri delves into this concept using a personal experience to illustrate it. In all aspects of life—personal, professional, or in relationships—we will encounter new challenges as we strive for success, and fear will undoubtedly be present. It's essential to recognize that we grow through adversity, and perhaps, confronting difficulties is exactly what we need. Episode Resources This episode is sponsored by Tao of Po.

Manifestation involves getting clear on what you truly want in the long run. You can manifest things in all areas of your life, such as work, relationships, and health. But in order to achieve your goals, it's important to address any emotional or physical issues first and make sure your goals align with your own nervous system. This is where somatic strategies come into play. In this episode of the Literally First Class Podcast, Keri discusses how somatic work can be used to manifest a new life, and why, at times, it may feel like you're doing the opposite. Keri's programs will guide you through the step-by-step process of aligning your vision with your emotional state, letting go of things that no longer serve you, and attracting the reality you truly desire.

Working towards success can feel scary for many people. You may not know if the feeling is fear preventing you from achieving great things or your intuition trying to keep you safe. There's a fine line between the two. Once you understand your nervous system and learn to interpret its signals, everything becomes easier, and you can make decisions with more peace of mind. In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri emphasizes the importance of doing the somatic work that your nervous system greatly needs in order to achieve the results it desires. When you understand yourself and your nervous system so deeply that you can distinguish self-sabotage from intuition, you will make better decisions. It's an inside job, and you need to do the work first and see the outcome after. Tune in to learn more! Episode Resources Subscribe to my newsletter HERE!

In this episode, Keri explains how you can audit your calendar to determine what's working, what's not, and how to create more time.
