Healing Through Movement: Embodied Dance, Trauma & Reclaiming Your Body with Allison PaganoThis conversation goes somewhere unexpected and beautiful.Allison Pagano is the creator of Embodied Dance, a body of work she accidentally built over 25 years that uses dance and movement as a healing art. She leads teacher trainings, works with clients one-to-one, and has spent decades helping people reconnect to their body's truth and reclaim their power from the inside out. She also has her own deeply personal story of recovery, which is where all of this began.We talk about how the body stores what the mind cannot name, why being witnessed in raw vulnerability is one of the most profound forms of healing, and what it looks like to turn your emotions over to the body and let it lead.This episode is for you if:You feel disconnected from your body and live mostly in your headYou have emotions that feel too big, too scary or completely inaccessibleYou've done mindset work but sense there is something deeper that hasn't shifted yetYou struggle with rage, grief or fear and have no idea how to express them safelyYou want to understand how trauma is stored in the body and how movement can release itYou have never danced in your life and wonder if any of this could possibly be for youIn this episode, we cover:✨ How Allison accidentally created Embodied Dance while in the middle of her own eating disorder recovery✨ The moment of being witnessed in raw vulnerability that changed everything for her✨ How lineage pain, trauma passed down through generations, shows up in our own bodies✨ The process of following emotion as a thread through the body, from activation to full expression✨ Why you do not need to know where something came from to begin healing it✨ Pre-verbal trauma and how the body holds memories the mind cannot access✨ How to begin if you are completely disconnected and cannot feel anything at all✨ Rage as a power reclamation: why owning your anger gives you access to more of everything✨ What to do when you cannot physically express an emotion in the moment✨ Why the cup that holds your grief also holds your joy: feeling more of one opens you to more of everything✨ Victoria's mirror work story: what started as rage led to a memory that had nothing to do with her body at all✨ How creating new movement qualities rewires the brain through neuroplasticity✨ Why you need absolutely no dance experience to benefit from this workPowerful quotes from the episode:
Air Date - 12 May 2026Women over 50 have been erased from the conversation about sex, beauty, desire, and pleasure for decades. They're either the punchline, the advice-giver, or completely invisible. For years, the world has handed women clinical, hollow answers. It's your hormones. It's just aging. It's the natural decay of a long-term marriage. Buy the cream. Take the pill. Try harder. But what if none of those explanations is the truth? Blending clinical expertise, nervous system and hormone science, raw midlife marriage truth, and laugh-out-loud real talk, Dr. Julie Merriman (aka Dr. Juls, The Midlife Sexpert™) joins me to talk about this and so much more.About the Guest:Dr. Julie Merriman is a licensed mental health clinician, counselor educator, burnout researcher, author, and speaker. As the founder of the Soul Joy brand, she is a leading authority for women over 50 who are navigating the intersection of professional burnout and personal intimacy.With over 30 years of clinical experience and academic leadership—including tenures as a professor, department head, and associate dean—Dr. Merriman has dedicated her career to the science of helping humans. Her work is deeply rooted in polyvagal theory and somatic neurobiology, providing a bridge between academic rigor and soul-led transformation.Her personal journey through profound burnout and a subsequent breast cancer diagnosis informs her “scorched earth” approach to healing—proving that rebirth is possible at any age. She is the author of the 12-week guide, In Pursuit of Soul Joy, and her new book, Are We Gonna Have Sex or What?Learn more at https://www.juliemerrimanphd.com/Social Media:Website: https://www.juliemerrimanphd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Dr-Julie-Merriman-Wellness-LLC/61564870628821/#JulieMerriman #InspiredConversations #LindaJoy #Women #Lifestyle #InterviewsVisit the Inspired Conversations Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/inspired-conversations/Connect with Linda Joy https://linda-joy.com/ and her YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@linda-joySubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

In this episode, Krista sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist, media personality, award winning radio host, and New York Times bestselling author Laura Berman to unpack what's really happening in modern love, intimacy, and sexuality. From the impact of dopamine-driven culture + porn to the hidden reason so many women feel burnt out + disconnected from their bodies, this episode is a powerful reset on what it actually takes to feel safe, turned on, and deeply connected in a relationship. They also explore the difference between authentic sexual expression + dopamine-seeking behavior, how to rebuild trust + connection in a relationship, and what it really means to practice “sex magic” in a grounded, accessible way. We also talk about: The truth about open relationships, threesomes, and sexual exploration The importance of taking 100% responsibility in relationships How your partner mirrors your wounds—and your growth Why “butterflies” can be a red flag in dating What healthy attraction + chemistry actually feel like What “sex magic” is + how it can deepen connection Why who you sleep with matters energetically How to rebuild desire in long-term relationships Resources: Website: https://drlauraberman.com/ Podcast: https://drlauraberman.com/lb_podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlauraberman/ Book: http://drlauraberman.com/sexmagic Sponsors: Paleovalley | Head to https://www.paleovalley.com/almost30 for 15% off your order!

Beautiful soul, this episode is for any woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or feeling confused by the emotional, mental, and physical shifts happening in her body. Julie is joined by Dr. Mindy Pelz for a powerful, grounded conversation that reframes hormonal change not as something breaking down, but as an initiation into wisdom, clarity, and deeper self-trust. Together, they explore why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, irritability, sleep disruption, and emotional intensity are not failures, but messages from the body asking to be listened to differently. This episode gently reframes menopause as a spiritual and biological transition, intuition as a skill that strengthens with age, and metabolic health as a foundation for emotional balance. It is especially supportive for women feeling unseen by the medical system, overwhelmed by symptoms, or sensing that this season of life is calling them into a new level of leadership, truth, and alignment.

Welcome to Reclaiming Your Body's Wisdom episode 3 of our Rising with Vitality mini series. Today, I want to talk about something that so many women struggle with—especially as we move into our fifties, sixties, and beyond. It's that complicated relationship with our bodies. For years, maybe even decades, we've been taught to push, to punish, to criticize our bodies into being something different. Thinner. Younger. Stronger. More “acceptable.” And when the aches, the changes, the shifts of midlife show up, it can feel like our bodies have betrayed us. But here's the truth: your body has never been your enemy. It has always been your wisest guide. Every ache, every twinge of fatigue, every craving or restless night—it isn't failure. It's communication. Your body is speaking to you. The question is, are you listening? SO Call in the Wisdom of your Body. “Call IT in With Dar”!

Peace never came from numbers or outcomes. My body was asking to be heard, not fixed. Topics Discussed IVF's emotional and somatic impact on the body Trauma stored in the fascia, the womb, and the nervous system Functional freeze during fertility treatments Difference between consent and true emotional safety How presence and sovereignty change your IVF experience Preparing your nervous system for fertility treatments The body doesn't forget what it wasn't given space to process. Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. This episode is not about protocols or lab results. It's about what no one tells you when you're moving through IVF—the way your body keeps score, not in numbers, but in tension, tightness, and silence. I share my personal journey of realizing how deeply my body had been overridden in the name of doing everything “right,” and how I finally saw the truth hiding underneath the scans and blood draws. We're talking about the residue. The frozen places. The subtle ways your body whispers “no” while your mind keeps saying “yes.” IVF isn't just another dental checkup. It's intimate, invasive, and sometimes downright disorienting. And if no one teaches you how to stay present, your nervous system quietly takes the hit. This conversation is raw, it's tender, and it's probably the thing you've been feeling but didn't have words for. If you've been moving through treatments and still feel unsettled, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode is your permission slip to stop abandoning your body. Press play and discover how everything changes when you bring your body with you. Sovereignty isn't about rejecting treatment. It's about refusing to abandon yourself in it. Timestamps: 03:02 The breathwork moment that cracked everything open, and I realized that my body wasn't broken, just unheard. 05:38 How I lived three years in autopilot, chasing numbers and procedures that only disconnected me. 07:37 Understanding why IVF is not just another medical appointment but a highly taxing experience. 08:43 How the body keeps score in the fascia, womb, and nervous system, even without you realizing it. 10:38 How to heal your old IVF treatment trauma and choose it differently next time. You are not crazy for still feeling things from years ago. That's intelligence, not dysfunction.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a functional medicine expert, bestselling author of "Fast Like a Girl," and a specialist in women's hormonal health.

We discuss metabolic switching, why your pre-period cravings are biological, and how menopause can be empowerment rather than decline. Mindy uncovers the fundamental flaws in our approach to female health. This is a must-listen for any woman ready to stop giving her power away and start trusting her body's intelligence. Enjoy!

Send us a message!When women hit midlife, it can feel like their bodies start to betray them overnight. Weight creeps on despite doing "all the right things," energy plummets, and those tried-and-true habits suddenly stop making a difference. Society blames willpower, leaving women feeling broken and ashamed.

What if everything you've been told about healing is backward? In this provocative and enlightening discussion, we explore the intelligence behind your body's natural healing processes and why conventional medicine often misses the mark.Your body isn't just a machine with parts that randomly break down—it's an exquisitely coordinated system designed for continuous renewal and adaptation. We begin by examining the miracle of digestion, where your body intelligently separates beneficial molecules from harmful ones without conscious effort. This same intelligence governs all healing processes, yet our medical system rarely acknowledges it.I challenge listeners to reconsider fundamental concepts like "healing" and "disease." Healing isn't something we do to our bodies; it's what our bodies naturally do when given the proper environment. What we call disease is often an adaptive response to conditions where our biological requirements aren't being met. High blood pressure, liver cysts, dry eyes—these aren't random malfunctions but signals that something in our environment needs changing.Through practical examples and case discussions, I demonstrate how conditions conventional medicine considers incurable often resolve when we support natural healing through proper nutrition, hydration, rest, movement, and freedom from toxins. We explore specific protocols for various health challenges, from parasitic infections to chronic inflammation, always returning to the fundamental principle: restore healthy physiology and the body will heal itself.This conversation will transform how you think about health and empower you to recognize your body's inherent wisdom. When we shift from fighting symptoms to supporting our innate healing capacities, we unlock a level of health and vitality that pharmaceutical approaches can never Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

On the Resilient Birth podcast, Justine and Sarah explore the impact of trauma across the perinatal period, from trying-to-conceive to pregnancy, from childbirth to postpartum and parenting.

Each week, listeners leave with takeaways to utilize in their lives and/or clients. Justine and Sarah hold the stories they share with honor and respect with the hope to impart knowledge, increase understanding, and bear witness to this challenging topic.

They discuss the societal expectations surrounding postpartum sex at six weeks, physical touch on relationships, and the challenges of reclaiming one's body and identity after having a baby. The conversation also delves into the fears and trust issues that can arise in intimate relationships, particularly after childbirth, and the myths surrounding postpartum recovery. Thay also discuss the changes that come with aging and perimenopause, emphasizing the importance of creating space for emotional connection with self and other, as well as, understanding the evolving nature of desire. Takeaways Intimacy changes after becoming a parent. Societal expectations can create pressure for postpartum intimacy too quickly. Physical touch from children can make adult intimacy challenging. Reclaiming one's body is a journey that takes time. Non-sexual touch is crucial for emotional connection. Motherhood often places a burden on intimacy. Changing bodies can affect sex and confidence. Perimenopause is a significant life transition that is often overlooked. Desire for intimacy can fluctuate throughout life. Sound Bites "I didn't feel like my body was mine for so long." "Those moments of not being touched feel precious." "Intimacy is a dance that changes with time." "Our bodies change, and so do our identities." "Perimenopause is as intense as puberty."

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host In this deeply transformative episode of The Pleasure Zone, host Milica Jelenic explores a groundbreaking approach to trauma recovery: healing through pleasure. While traditional therapeutic methods often bypass the body's innate capacity for joy, Milica sheds light on how safe, consensual pleasure is not only valid but essential for rewiring the nervous system and restoring a sense of safety, trust, and connection. Drawing on both science and embodied wisdom, Milica begins by unpacking how trauma dysregulates the nervous system, often leaving individuals stuck in cycles of fear, numbness, or hypervigilance. She explains how pleasure—when approached with mindfulness and consent—can create new neural pathways that foster calm, resilience, and emotional regulation. The conversation then moves into four key areas of focus: Understanding Somatic Healing: Milica breaks down how trauma is stored in the body and how somatic practices can gently guide individuals back into presence and sensation, offering a gateway to healing that honors the body's intelligence. Self-Pleasure as Therapy: Reframing self-pleasure as a sacred, therapeutic act, Milica discusses how it can support trauma survivors in reclaiming agency, rebuilding a loving relationship with their own bodies, and cultivating self-trust. The Role of Intimacy in Recovery: From conscious touch to heart-centered connection, Milica explores how intimacy with others can become a nurturing space for healing, provided there's clear communication and emotional safety. Rewiring the Brain Through Pleasure: Tying it all together, Milica explains how consistent, pleasurable experiences help reprogram the brain's response to stress, paving the way for long-term healing and empowered sensuality. Listeners of The Pleasure Zone and this episode, "Healing Through Pleasure" will leave with inspiration and practical insights for embracing pleasure as a powerful ally in their healing journey.

If you've ever experienced an out-of-body sensation or felt the weight of unprocessed trauma, this episode is especially for you. Together, we'll delve into the power of reconnecting with our bodies, processing deep-seated emotions, and finding healing through practices like yoga, breathwork, and mindful presence. I'm honoured to have you here with me on this journey.Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the profound impact of trauma on our bodies and minds, particularly the ways in which we unconsciously disconnect to cope. Drawing from personal experiences, I share insights into how practices like Yin Yoga and mindful breathwork have helped me—and can help you—return to the body and process long-buried emotions. We discuss the importance of staying present in your body, the challenges of facing these emotions, and the incredible liberation that comes from processing them. This episode offers practical tools for reclaiming your body, regaining a sense of safety, and ultimately, experiencing a lighter, healthier, and more joyful life. Key Takeaways:Understanding Trauma Responses: Trauma isn't just about the event itself but how our bodies and minds react to it, often leading to a disconnect from our physical selves.The Power of Presence: Reconnecting with your body through practices like yoga, nature walks, and breathwork is essential for healing and processing stored emotions.Processing Emotions Safely: Allowing yourself to feel sadness, sorrow, or hurt without attaching a story to it helps in releasing these emotions and rewiring your nervous system.Yoga as a Healing Practice: Yin Yoga, in particular, offers a space to stay present in the body, making it possible to process emotions safely and gently.The Physical Impact of Emotional Release: Releasing trapped emotions can lead to physical benefits such as weight loss and reduced tension, promoting overall well-being.Creating a Safe Space: Building a sense of safety within your body through mindfulness and breathwork allows for a deeper connection with yourself, making you less vulnerable to external triggers.Call to Action: If today's discussion resonated with you, I would love to hear your thoughts and stories.
