Podcasts about Somatic

High performers love speed. But speed without alignment kills clarity. In this high-impact episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Sayan sits down with life coach and founder of Silverman Coach, Loren Silverman, to decode why burnout sneaks up on the smartest people in the room. They break down the psychology of overthinking, somatic cues of overwhelm, and why high achievers mistake chaos for productivity.Loren offers a tactical roadmap for listeners. Pause. Reboot. Grow. His framework helps professionals replace mental load with value-based action, set boundaries without guilt, and build momentum with small strategic choices instead of unrealistic overhauls.If you've been running on fumes, telling yourself you're “fine,” this episode gives you a brutally honest reset. Practical. Grounded. Actionable. Exactly what high achievers need to stay human while staying ambitious. About the Guest: Loren Silverman is a life coach and founder of Silverman Coach. With nearly two decades in tech and digital transformation, he now helps overwhelmed professionals and self-identified nerds align their values, create boundaries, and build sustainable habits. He is the creator of Life Reboot: Nerd Edition, a 90-day coaching program that blends behavioral psychology with gamification to help people pause, reboot, and grow with clarity. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't caused by doing too much. It's caused by being misaligned. When values aren't driving your decisions, overwhelm builds silently. Overthinking tricks high achievers into feeling productive. In reality, it's worry disguised as strategy. One minute of intentional pause interrupts mental spirals faster than any productivity hack. Don't underestimate micro-rest. Small, consistent actions outperform dramatic life resets because they rebuild trust with yourself and reduce overwhelm. Boundaries protect your focus and set mutual expectations. Clear communication prevents emotional leakage and reactivity. Somatic signs like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and short breath are early indicators of emotional overload. Listen to them before they escalate. Delegation is a leadership skill, not a compromise. High achievers burn out when they try to be the “go-to person” for everything. Gamified coaching frameworks, like Loren's character-building system, help individuals understand their strengths, energy levels, and personal metrics. Identifying core values clarifies decision-making and eliminates unnecessary friction. Alignment is the antidote to burnout. When actions reflect core values, resilience becomes natural instead of forced.   How to Connect with the Guest:   Website: https://silvermancoach.com/Book a free 30-minute strategy session directly on the site.

High-achieving, intuitive leaders don't lack drive—they lack safety to let things be easy. In this episode, Brenda unpacks why ease can feel unsafe in a nervous system wired for hustle, how to recognize fight/flight/freeze/fawn in real time, and simple practices to reconnect with your intuition and spiritual team (guides, angels, ancestors). You'll learn how to retrain your body so ease becomes your baseline—and why that makes you clearer, calmer, and more magnetic in leadership, business, and life.

This episode explores the deep connections between movement, body awareness, identity, and belonging, especially as experienced by people who navigate multiple cultures. The conversation dives into Marcia Bonasso Warren's unique approach to “embodied code switching,” and the role of somatic awareness in feeling at home within our bodies across shifting cultural contexts.Key Topics Discussed:What is Somatic Awareness?Originates from the Greek word for “body” (soma).Goes beyond physical presence—encompasses bodily signals, wisdom, five senses, and cultural body norms.Importance of asking: “What have my cultures told me about my body?” and recognizing how societal norms affect our sense of self.Belonging and the BodyThe sensory cues that signal belonging or otherness, from environmental context to body types reflected around us.Somatic experiences of cultural fit and difference, such as feeling physically at ease or vigilant in certain environments.Embodied Code Switching & The SIA LoopSIA Loop: Sensation → Interpretation → Action. A tool for attuning to both internal body messages and cross-cultural cues, slowing down reactions, and choosing responses intentionally.The cross-cultural transition is often first detected in the body, not the mind.Examples include changing posture, tone, or movement in response to different cultural expectations (e.g., "shrinking" or shifting vocal inflection in Tokyo).The Power of Mirroring and Interpersonal SynchronyMirroring (matching movement, posture, or inflection) naturally helps connect with others and foster belonging - as long as it's authentic, not imitation.Shared rhythms (like dance, group chants, celebrations) create community and signal inclusion even without shared language.Memory, Longing, and Grief in the Globally Mobile LifeBodily memories connect us to places and cultures left behind—there's always a sense of longing (“saudade”) for experiences that cannot fully accompany us home.Creating rituals or writing can help honor these connections and process grief.Advice for Global Nomads and Culturally Fluid IndividualsYou have permission to own your unique, multifaceted identity.Being able to cross cultures with awareness is a superpower—it enhances empathy, flexibility, and compassion.Allow yourself time to know both your hosts and yourself; notice, listen, and include your body in this ongoing conversation.“Home is in my body now, because this is what's taken me to all those places. And I still have me.”“There's always a part of you that can't come with you to the next place, but your body has a memory of those places, and because of that, it stays connected.”“Folks that move in between cultures and with different cultures, with conscious awareness... it's a superpower. And I don't say that lightly.”ResourcesBook: Movement and Identity: Multiculturalism, Somatic Awareness and Embodied Code SwitchingWhere to find Marcia Bonasso Warren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-bonato-warren/https://www.youtube.com/@MarciaBonatoWarrenhttps://www.facebook.com/MarciaBonatoWarrenConnect With UsIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribSupport the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.

This episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life cuts through the noise and delivers a grounded reality check. What if your biggest performance metric isn't your strategy deck or your calendar. It's your nervous system. Today, Loren Cellentani flips the success script and challenges the hustle mindset with a body-first lens that leaders rarely talk about but desperately need.We unpack the truth behind performing success instead of embodying it, why burnout keeps recycling through the body, how emotions convert into business magnetism, and why many spiritual and high-achieving women get stuck in initiation, imposter and visibility wounds.This episode positions embodiment as a true differentiator. It is an honest breakdown of leadership presence, emotional range, somatic regulation and what actually creates results in the real world. About the Guest  : Loren Cellentani is a somatic success strategist, podcast host of The Sovereign Self Show, and a guide for spiritual, high-achieving women who want to lead with presence instead of performance. She helps entrepreneurs break free from the initiation wound, imposter wound and visibility wound so they can embody confidence, regulate their energy and step into authentic leadership. Key Takeaways  : Most people perform success instead of embodying it. The real signal is in the body, not the to-do list. Entrepreneurs often operate from lack, which drives burnout and recycled self-doubt. Presence disrupts that loop. Emotional regulation before action creates magnetic leadership. Your state drives the outcome. The initiation wound shows up when women question their right to lead. It is a catalyst, not a setback. The imposter wound is a somatic cue. It asks you to meet the deeper story underneath the thought. Visibility wounds surface when nervous systems shut down under attention. Practicing presence rebuilds safety. Somatic alignment delivers stronger business results than traditional over-strategizing. Real manifestation happens when leaders slow down, trust and hold energy rather than hustle through fear. Embodiment creates resonance that clients feel, respond to and invest in. Entrepreneurship is a personal development initiation. Every emotional trigger is data.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram: https://instagram.com/lorencellentaniYouTube: https://youtube.com/@lorencellentaniPodcast.

On today's episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we drill into a conversation everyone thinks they understand but barely anyone actually practices. letting go. Author and somatic therapist Melanie Smithson unpacks why the body always knows before the mind does. We challenge the cultural obsession with “move on” advice and explore what real release looks like when it's built on nervous system safety, curiosity and sensory intelligence.This episode is a grounded walkthrough of somatic practices, emotional processing, letting go without re-traumatizing, and remembering the innate freedom we had as children. Expect a no-fluff exploration of embodiment, stuck emotions, and why playful movement might be one of the most underrated healing tools on the planet.  About the Guest  : Melanie Smithson is a somatic therapist, movement practitioner, and author of Shake Yourself Free. Her work blends body awareness, emotional release, conscious movement, and playful practices to help people access authentic freedom and process stored emotional patterns. Key Takeaways  : Somatic healing starts with listening to where emotions show up in the body The body whispers first. when ignored, it escalates signals until we pay attention Many adults lose access to emotional fluidity due to conditioning, not capability Movement like shaking, grumbling, slow pacing, or free dance supports emotional release Suppressed childhood emotions often remain stored in the cellular body Letting go requires vulnerability and nervous system safety, not force “Hoarding upset” keeps us trapped in old stories while embodiment moves us forward Safety must come before surrender. emotional processing is not a race Somatic exploration prevents re-traumatization by meeting sensations exactly as they are Healing becomes more effective when practices are playful rather than punitive Connect with the Guest  : Explore Melanie's work, download the first chapter of her book, or order Shake Yourself Free here.https://www.smithsonclinic.com/podcast  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM.

Tiffany Hurd's path and mine crossed almost a decade prior, and it was psychedelics that brought our souls back together. She's a plant medicine facilitator, somatic healer, and guide for embodied transformation and the Microdosing Advisor and Head of Partnerships at Golden Rule Mushrooms. Tiffany has the gift of helping people meet their emotions through the body rather than the mind, turning pain into peace and tension into truth. It was such a joy to welcome her to Intimate Conversations for a deep, nourishing, and embodied dialogue about healing, surrender, and the intelligence of plant medicine.  In this soulful and grounding conversation we explored how Tiffany went from high-achieving perfectionism and corporate burnout to awakening through her own inner wounds. She shared how chronic stress, anxiety, and over-identifying with doing led her body to shut down—and how that breaking point became a sacred initiation into soulful embodiment. We explored the power of plant medicine is as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind, and how it can support the revelation of where we are holding, resisting, or avoiding life itself. Tiffany shared how utilizing plant medicine as a tool isn't about performing or fixing but about feeling—allowing the medicine to show you where it's time to let go.  She offered profound insights on how stored emotions live in the body as tension, numbness, or pain, and how plant medicine allows those emotions to surface safely for integration. We wholeheartedly agreed that spiritual bypassing can disguise itself as positivity or control, and how real liberation comes from feeling everything with compassion. Together we reflected on the courage it takes to slow down, soften, and listen to the body's wisdom. Tiffany reminded us that embodiment isn't about becoming perfect, but about becoming present. We completely align that the body is never the enemy—it's the doorway to freedom. This conversation is a nourishing invitation to come home to yourself through the sacred rhythm of awareness using plant medicine as a tool of homecoming. To trust that your body knows the way. To honor every tremble, sigh, and tear as a holy exhale of becoming. We had SO much fun over on After the Show on Patreon.com/AllanaPratt where more insights were revealed through the thought provoking questions I asked her… AND we danced to her favorite song!

Have you ever tried to think your way out of a limiting belief - repeating affirmations, reframing your thoughts, or practicing positive thinking - only to find yourself right back in the same emotional place again? In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we'll explore why that happens. From a somatic perspective, your limiting beliefs aren't just thoughts to be changed. They're living memories of who you had to be (and what you had to believe) in order to stay safe, loved, or connected earlier in life. You'll learn how these beliefs live deep within your body and subconscious mind, quietly shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world around you. And you'll discover why mindset work can feel like self-gaslighting when it doesn't reach the parts of you that are still carrying the pain or fear from the past. This episode is part of my new “Your Healing, Your Questions” series, where I answer listener questions about healing and emotional growth. It's an insightful, conversation-style episode rather than a meditation. Tune in to learn how to move beyond mindset and begin transforming the roots of your limiting beliefs through compassion, presence, and somatic awareness. In this episode: Why Mindset Work Isn't Enough to Change Your Limiting Beliefs What Limiting Beliefs Really Are (A Somatic Perspective) How Limiting Beliefs Live in the Body and Nervous System How Somatic Healing Helps You Shift Limiting Beliefs at The Roots Three Compassionate Truths About Your Inner Parts Related: Listen to more Your Healing, Your Questions episodes!

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Erica Hornthal, known as “The Therapist That Moves You,” board-certified dance/movement therapist, award-winning author and founder of Chicago Dance Therapy, to talk about dance movement therapy and how it provides structure and space for people to truly listen to their bodies. Movement is life and our movements influence our thoughts, which influence our behavior, which makes us who we are. Somatic therapy teaches us that the body keeps score and remembers specific incidents in our lives that could create perceived threats where there are none. Learn how to widen the window of tolerance towards adjustment, discover the difference between movement that perpetuates trauma versus dispelling and releasing built up energy that improve your well-being. Erica emphasizes the importance of finding stability and safety in your environment while building a diverse movement vocabulary. There is expression and communication beyond words, and dance as a therapeutic modality and artform is one of the keys to unlocking what's inside you. Remember that we were born movers, not thinkers, so if you want to think differently, you have to move differently. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

In Part 2 of her powerful conversation with Brittany Piper, Sami Clarke dives deeper into what it means to come home to yourself — body, mind, and intuition included. Brittany digs into the questions we've all had: how do you listen to your intuition and trust your body's cues? What can you do when you feel disconnected or uncomfortable in your own skin? Together, they explore the beauty in the pause, finding peace in the in-between, and how feeling joy allows you to hold space for the harder emotions too. This episode is a gentle reminder that everything you need already exists within you. Your intuition is always speaking — this is your invitation to start listening.Resources:Link to Brittany's program website where you can apply for the program w/ code TransformBrittany's InstagramBrittany's BookTransform Instagram - click here!Sami Spalter Instagram - click here!Sami Clarke Instagram - click here!FORM Shop - click here!FORM Website - click here!Code TRANSFORM for 20% off an annual membership.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Feeling stressed, disconnected, or stuck in your head? In this episode, we explore how somatic healing, breathwork, and movement can help women in midlife calm the nervous system, release stored emotions, and come back home to their bodies.I'm sitting down with Brittany Cessar, a guide and practitioner of Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) — a movement-based practice that combines breath, music, and gentle gestures to help you feel emotions rather than overthink them.Brittany shares how this work carried her through years of painful eczema and emotional burnout, teaching her to find relief through safety, choice, and presence. Together, we unpack what “somatic” really means — and why it's more accessible than it sounds. Think body scans, audible sighs, shaking off the day, and mantras that keep you anchored in the here and now.She walks us through a typical SAH class, from mindful check-ins to “body keys” that invite states like compassion or courage, and the optional free-form movement that helps release stored energy without reliving old stories. The result? A calmer nervous system, a wider gap between trigger and response, and more steadiness in midlife when hormones, caregiving, and overwork collide.We also explore how safety and consent are built into the practice — eyes open or closed, camera on or off, small movements or big — and how SAH can complement therapy when deeper emotions surface. Expect simple, practical takeaways you can use today: three slow, audible breaths, one minute of shaking, and radical single-tasking that turns ordinary moments into anchors.If you've ever been told you're “too much,” consider this your permission slip to feel fully, move freely, and let your body lead.Where To Find Brittany and the SAH ClassesSAH class information click HEREOn Instagram Click HEREI would love to hear from you!

HeatherAsh sits down with author and teacher, Michael Stone, to explore a compassionate, practical approach to trauma healing. Michael shares raw pieces of his story, from early childhood and family rupture to profound loss, and how those experiences became medicine for personal and collective awakening. We talk somatic work, ancestral repair, why “relating” matters more than “relationship,” and how community circles become engines of healing. If you've ever wondered where to start (or start again), this conversation offers a grounded path: soften, slow down, and let the body lead.Episode Highlights:Trauma is intelligence, not pathology. It's the nervous system's adaptive way of keeping us safe, and healing means gently feeling what was once too overwhelming.The body leads the way. Somatic practices, not talk alone, open the door to repair and integration.Healing thrives in relationship. Circles and community dissolve shame, reveal “me too” moments, and accelerate growth.We inherit more than eye color. Ancestral and collective trauma live in us too, and healing them shifts the larger field.Start simple. Softening and slowing down through meditation, nature, or gentle embodiment, are powerful first steps.Resources & Links:Michael's Website:https://www.welloflight.comTraumatized: A Love Story(book mentioned)Pocket Project / Social Witnessing (concept referenced by Michael)Family Constellations (Bert Hellinger; modality referenced)FiveRhythms / Gabrielle Roth (somatic movement lineage referenced)Contact Michael: Michael@welloflight.com

Feeling unseen and misunderstood in your closest relationship can be one of the loneliest experiences, even when surrounded by family and friends. It's not uncommon for couples to fall into patterns of projection, reactivity, and defensiveness, leaving genuine intimacy and deep connection feeling just out of reach. How do we move from these cycles of blame and distance towards the kind of secure, transformative partnership that brings true accompaniment, dignity, and joy? In this episode, you are invited to slow down and explore new pathways to presence and connection. Through practical tools, guided reflection, and insights rooted in transformative couples therapy, you'll discover ways to move beyond automatic reactivity and habitual defense, and instead cultivate curiosity, somatic awareness, and genuine intimacy. Whether you're looking to strengthen trust, improve communication, or rekindle the spark in a long-term bond, this conversation offers powerful guidance for anyone seeking more clarity, care, and lasting growth in their relationships. Since 2008 Dr. David Mars has been the developer of Transformative Couples Therapy® (TCT). He leads seminars and training programs internationally on TCT. Affective neuroscience and attachment research are central to this experiential, somatically attuned and positivity-based method. Currently Dr. Mars also is the leader of a three-year project to quantify the results of TCT in preparation to offer published research on outcomes of the method. He is the Director of the Transformative Couples Therapy® Institute.   Episode Highlights 03:39 The impact of curiosity and projections in long-term relationships. 08:32 How attachment styles form early in life and opportunities for change. 10:05 The importance of somatic awareness, attunement, and slowing down in relationships. 15:42 Gender, stress, and the emotional costs of disconnection. 17:48 Strategies for setting boundaries and cultivating safe communication. 23:14 Transformation and growth through the I-Thou relationship. 24:43 Daily practices and the seven channels of experience in couples therapy. 29:49 Awareness of energetic imprints and somatic patterns from early life. 31:15 Navigating and embracing partner differences in relationships. 34:43 The role of journaling, self-regulation, and reverence in relational health. 40:57 Somatic-based modalities, resources, and generativity in relationships.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Begin your conversations or sessions with your partner by sharing something you appreciate about each other to set a positive tone. Take a deep inhale and exhale together to ground yourselves and invite presence before important discussions. Communicate your feelings and needs using "I" statements to promote vulnerability and reduce defensiveness. Speak directly to your partner, not just about them or through a third party, to foster genuine connection. Notice and share your body sensations (like a tight chest or warm hands) during emotional exchanges to heighten self-awareness and attunement. Approach your partner with genuine curiosity and try to witness their experience, rather than making assumptions or projecting your own perspective. If either partner feels overwhelmed or unresourced, honor the need to pause and agree on a time to revisit the conversation. Tune into the seven channels—sensation, emotion, energy, movement, auditory, visual, and imaginal—to enrich both your self-awareness and your communication with your partner.   Mentioned Martin Buber (Britannica link) (biography) I-Thou (*Britannica link) The I-Thou Relationship and Unconditional Positive Regard (*Psychology Today) Carl Rogers (*Wikipedia link) (article) The 1957 Martin Buber-Carl Rogers Dialogue, as Dialogue (*Sage Journals) (study) Beatrice Beebe (*Wikipedia link) (article) *John Bowlby (*Wikipedia link) (article) *John Beebe (*Wikipedia link) (article) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free relationship guide) (pdf) Connect with David Mars Websites: tctinstitute.org Facebook: facebook.com/p/Center-for-Transformative-Therapy-100087943999843 Instagram: instagram.com/transformativecouplestherapy/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/transformative-couples-therapy

Somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor went from a sexless marriage where she felt shut down to awakening her own pleasure and desire, and now she's helped hundreds of other couples do the same. In this episode, she and Jenny explore that journey and what it takes to move from sexual disconnection to full aliveness and pleasure. This episode is a beautiful reminder that pleasure, love, and orgasm aren't something we receive from someone else—they're pathways that already exist within us, waiting to be cleared and reopened. Susan breaks down part of her Pleasure Keys Process and reveals the biggest obstacle blocking our pleasure: tension. She explains how tension in the body—at multiple levels—blocks the flow of arousal and desire, and what we can do to release it. Jenny and Susan also explore how broadening our definition of sex opens up more pathways to pleasure, the connection between birth and sexuality, and what it means to truly receive unconditionally and give from overflow. This conversation will leave you feeling inspired to reclaim your aliveness and step more fully into your pleasure. Topics include: Sexual disconnection + awakening to pleasure The Pleasure Keys Process for couples Tension as the biggest obstacle to pleasure Embodied living + P u s s y centered sexuality Pathways to desire + arousal Broadening your definition of sex Birth as an extension of sexuality Unconditional receiving + giving from overflow Selfish pleasure as a pathway to connection Moving from shutdown to aliveness   If you're ready to have Jenny personally support you in reigniting your desire, reconnecting to your pleasure, and actually wanting sex again, book your Intimacy Reignition Session now: [https://calendly.com/jennybraxton/intimacy-reignite] Connect with Susan Morgan Taylor: Free eBook: The Pleasure KeysHer website: [https://www.pathwaytopleasure.com ] Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/susanmorgantaylor/] FaceBook: [https://www.facebook.com/susanmorgantaylorma] Connect with your host, Jenny Braxton: Instagram: @pusssy.centered.living Website: https://www.jennybraxton.com/The School of P u s s y Centered Living Waitlist Loved the episode and want to show your gratitude?

In this episode of  @empoweredwithgina  host Gina Zapanta sits down with Dr. Yanira Hernandez, LCSW and Director of Palante Therapy, to talk about what “strength” really looks like for women and for children of immigrants. Dr. Hernandez shares her journey from South Central Los Angeles to UCLA and USC, why mental health support in schools matters, and how intergenerational trauma shows up in the body—especially during times of fear and uncertainty. Together, they dismantle the “do it all” myth, explore why asking for help is not weakness, and teach practical somatic tools (breath work, bilateral tapping/EMDR-informed techniques, body check-ins) to regulate the nervous system and reclaim agency. Viewers will leave with grounded strategies to set boundaries, reduce burnout, and model healthier strength at home and in community.What viewers will learn:- Why school-based mental health is essential—and where it falls short- How perfectionism and “never ask for help” conditioning harms women- Intergenerational trauma in immigrant families and how to unlearn survival mode- Simple somatic practices to calm the body and build real resilience- Scripts and reframes for guilt and shame when setting boundaries

In this episode of Fly To Freedom, I unpack the fear of weight gain through a compassionate, practical lens. We explore how survival wiring, nervous-system activation and confirmation bias make fear feel indisputable—especially during anorexia recovery and eating disorder recovery. You'll learn why the brain translates messy, vulnerable emotions (rejection, shame, grief, visibility, intimacy) into body-fixing plans—and how to respond differently. I share personal moments from my own recovery, scripts to answer the brain in real time, and a short guided reflection to help you feel safer with feelings so you can keep saying yes to nourishment, healing and freedom.I'm Julia Trehane, a specialist anorexia recovery coach supporting full and lasting recovery—no quasi-recovery, no staying stuck. I believe your worth never lived in your body size, and your brain can be retrained to choose safety in feeling over safety in shrinking.What you'll learnThe Guard Dog Brain: Why the brain prioritises survival over happiness—and why fear is its fastest tool.Coping Strategy, Not Truth: How fear of weight gain arrives to avoid hard emotions and offer an illusion of control.Confirmation Bias: The brain's proof-seeking loop that turns neutral events into “evidence” that shrinking is safer.Underneath the Fear: Rejection, shame, visibility, vulnerability, grief, and “not-enoughness.”Somatic Micro-Skills: A 30–60 second body check-in to increase tolerance for big feelings.Reality-Testing: Questions that disrupt the hijack and open other explanations.Redefining Control: Why real control is presence, nourishment and allowing the body to heal—including oedema.Word-for-Word Scripts: Gentle but firm responses you can use when the brain shouts “don't gain weight.”Try these right away (practical steps)Name the pattern: “This is the coping strategy, not the truth.” Pause before acting.Journal prompt: “If this isn't about weight, what might I be feeling?” Let answers arrive without fixing.Somatic minute: Hand on heart and tummy; locate the feeling (chest/throat/stomach) and breathe into it for 30–60 seconds.Reality check: “What else could be true here? What am I not noticing?”Script it:“Thank you, brain, for trying to protect me. What I'm really feeling is ____. I can feel this and stay safe.”“Buying a bigger size is proof my body is healing, not proof I've failed.”“Oedema is repair. My worth doesn't live in a label.”Reframe control: Choose nourishment, rest and connection—even when fear is loud.Mentioned in this episodeFeelings Navigator — a quick way to find tools for the emotion you're in: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/how-are-you-feelingThe Eating Disorder Recovery Circle — our community space for support, coaching calls, workshops and on-demand courses (come join us or pop back into the forum to share your reflections): https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/joinKey timestamps (guide)00:00 Guard Dog Brain: survival vs happiness05:00 Fear of weight gain as a coping strategy12:00 How the hijack sounds in real life (relationship/work/friends)20:00 Confirmation bias & why fear feels like “proof”27:00 What's underneath: rejection, shame, visibility, vulnerability, grief33:00 Somatic practice + reality-testing questions39:00 Scripts to answer the brain45:00 Closing reflection: “I can handle feelings; I am safe to feel.”If this episode resonated, come share what came up for you inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle—you'll be met by people who truly understand, plus practical tools you can use the moment fear gets loud, all for less than the cost of a single therapy session: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/join.If you're ready for more personalised support, my 1:1 coaching will hold you through the hard emotions while we retrain the brain toward safety and freedom.

In this refreshing and empowering conversation, Heidi Hadley sits down with Melanie Cool, licensed psychotherapist, integrative medicine practitioner, and behavior-change expert, to challenge everything we think we know about self-care.Forget the bubble baths and scented candles — Melanie shares how true self-care is less about pampering and more about boundaries, self-respect, and reclaiming time and energy for what truly matters.Together, Heidi and Melanie explore how changing your belief systems — especially the all-too-familiar “I don't have time” narrative — can radically shift your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

Guest Bio: Renee Kylestewa Begay is from the Pueblo of Zuni in Southwest New Mexico. She is a mother to three daughters and married to high school sweetheart Donnie Begay. During her undergrad, she founded the Nations movement—a national ministry...Good morning. It's October 30th, 2025. Can you believe it? So I'm releasing these videos. Today's videos on resilience. Four distinct cultures coming at you. Jenny McGrath. Me, Danielle, my friend Renee Begay from New Mexico and Rebecca Wheeler, Walston. Tune in, listen to the distinctly different places we're coming from and how we're each thinking about resilience. And then find a way that that impacts you and your own community and you can create more resilience, more generosity, more connection to one another. It's what we need in this moment. Oh, and this is The Arise Podcast, and it's online. If you want to download, listen to it. There you can as well.   Renee Begay (00:14):Okay, cool. Okay, so for those watching my introduction, I'll do it in my language. So my name is Renee Bega. I just spoke in my language, which is I'm from the Pueblo of Zuni tribe in Southwest New Mexico, and I shared the way that we relate to one another. So you share the clan system that you're from. So being a matrilineal society, we belong to our, there's lineage and then we are a child of our father's side of the family. And so I belong to the Sandhill Crane clan as my mom is my grandma. And then my daughters are Sandhill Crane, and then I'm a child of the Eagle Clan, which is my dad's side. So if I do introduce myself in Zuni and I say these clans, then people know, oh, okay, you're from this family, or I'm, or if I meet others that are probably Child of Crane, then I know that I have responsibility toward them. We figure out responsibility toward each other in the community and stuff, who's related to all those things. Yeah. And here in New Mexico, there are 19 Pueblo tribes, two to three Apache tribes, and then one Navajo nation tribe. So there's a large population of indigenous tribes here in New Mexico. So grateful and glad to be here.(02:22):Yeah. I guess I can answer your question about what comes to mind with just the word resilience, but even you saying a d Los Muertos, for me that was like, oh, that's self-determination, something that you practice to keep it going, to remember all those things. And then when you mentioned the family, Jenny, I was like, I think I did watch it and I looked on my phone to go look for it, and I was like, oh yeah, I remember watching that. I have a really short-term memory with books or things that I watch. I don't remember exactly details, but I know how I felt. And I know when I was watching that show, I was just like, whoa, this is crazy.(03:12):So yes, I remember watching that docuseries. And then I think Rebecca, when you're talking about, I was thinking through resilience feels like this vacillation between different levels, levels of the individual in relation to the community, how much do we participate in self discovery, self-determination, all those things, but then also connect it to community. How do we continue to do that as a community to stay resilient or keep practicing what we've been taught? But then also generationally too, I think that every generation has to figure out based on their experience in this modern world, what to do with the information and the knowledge that is given to us, and then how to kind of encourage the next generation too. So I was just thinking of all those scenes when I was listening to you guys.Rebecca (04:25):Yeah, when you said the generational thing that each generation has to decide what to do with the information given to them. This past weekend in the last week or so was that second New Kings march, and there's some conversation about the fact that it was overwhelmingly white and in my community that conversation has been, we weren't there. And what does that mean, right? Or the noticing that typically in this country when there are protests around human rights, typically there's a pretty solid black contingency that's part of that conversation. And so I just have been aware internally the conversation has been, we're not coming to this one. We're tired. And when I say I say black women specifically in some instances, the larger black community, we are tired.(05:28):We are tapping out after what happened in the last election. And I have a lot of ambivalence about that tapping out. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it does make me think about what you said that in this moment my community is taking the information given to them and making a conscious choice to do something different than what we have done historically. So that's what I thought about when you were mentioning the generational sort of space that's there. What do we do with that and what does that mean about what we pass to the next generation?Danielle (06:09):Through this moment. So I think it's interesting to say, I think Rebecca said something about does your resilience, what does it feel grounded in or does it feel solid? I can't remember exactly how she put it. And yeah, she's frozen a bit on my screen, so I'll check in with her when she gets back. And I would say I felt like this week when I was thinking about my ancestors, I felt in having conversations in my family of origin around race and assimilation, just that there was this in-between generation. And I mean like you mentioned the voting, you saw it in our voting block, the Latino voting block pretty clearly represented.(07:09):There was this hard push for assimilation, really hard push and the in-between. And I feel like my generation is saying that didn't work. And so we know the stories of our ancestors, but how did we interpret those stories to mean many of us, I would say in our community to mean that we don't fight for justice? How did we reinterpret those stories to mean the best course was silence or forgetting why people migrated. The reason for migration was not because there was a hate for our land. That's very clear to me. The reason for migration was what we see now happening with Venezuela. It was ongoing oppression of our people through the, well, in my case, through the Mexican government and collaboration with the United States government that exacerbated poverty and hunger, which then led to migration. So do we forget that? It seems like we did. And in some, I wondered to myself, well, how did a guy like Cesar Chavez or I, how did they not forget that? How did they remember that? So I think resilience for me is thinking Los was like, who were my ancestors remembering why they moved and remembering what this moment is asking me to do. Is it asking me to move somewhere and maybe physically move or mentally move or I don't know what the movement means, but it's some kind of movement. So that's kind of what I thinkRenee (09:07):I'm seeing the importance of, even just in this conversation, kind of the idea of the trans narrative across all communities, the importance of storytelling amongst each other, sharing stories with each other of these things. Like even just hearing you Danielle of origins of reasons for migration or things like that, I'm sure very relatable. And we have migration stories too, even within indigenous on this continent and everything. So I think even just the importance of storytelling amongst each other to be able to remember together what these things are. I think even just when we had the opportunity to go to Montgomery and go to the Rosa Parks Museum, it, you hear the macro story of what happened, but when you actually walk through the museum and read every exhibition, every paragraph, you start learning the micro stuff of the story there. Maybe it wasn't everyone was a hundred percent, there was still this wrestling within the community of what to do, how to do it, trying to figure out the best way to do good amongst each other, to do right by each other and stuff like that. So I just think about the importance of that too. I think Danielle, when you mentioned resilience, a lot of times it doesn't feel good to practice resilience.(11:06):For me, there's a lot of confusion. What do I do? How do I do this? Well, a lot of consultation with my elders, and then every elder has a different, well, we did this, and then you go to the next elder, oh, well we did this. And so one of my friends said three people in the room and you get four ideas and all these things. So it's just like a lot of times it doesn't feel good, but then the practice of it, of just like, okay, how do we live in a good way with each other, with ourselves, with what faith you have, the spiritual beliefs that you hold all those, and with the land, all that stuff, it's just, yeah, it's difficult to practice resilience.Rebecca (12:03):I think that that's a good point. This idea, the reminder that it doesn't always feel good. When you said it, it's like, well, duh. But then you sit for a minute and you go like, holy crap, it doesn't feel good. And so that means I have to be mindful of the ways in which I want to step away from it, take a step back from it, and not actually enter that resilience. And it makes me think about, in order to kind of be resilient, there has to be this moment of lament or grief for the fact that something has happened, some type of wounding or injury or threat or danger that is forcing you to be resilient is requiring that of you. And that's a moment I always want to bypass. Who has time to, no, I don't have time to grieve. I got stuff I got to do, right?(13:06):I need to make it to the next moment. I need to finish my task. I need to keep it together. Whatever the things are. There are a thousand reasons for which I don't want to have that moment, even if I can't have it in the moment, but I need to circle back to it. Once the chaos sort of settles a little bit, it's very difficult to actually step into that space, at least for me personally, probably somewhat out of the cultural wider narratives that I inhabit. There's not a lot of invitation to grief element or if I'm very skilled at sidestepping that invitation. So for me, that's what comes to mind when I think about it doesn't feel good. And part of what doesn't feel good for me is that what there is to grieve, what there is to process there to lament. Who wants to do that?(14:10):I think I told you guys outside of the recording that my son had a very scary car incident this week, and several people have asked me in the last 48 hours, are you how? Somebody said to me, how is your mother heart? Nothing in me wants to answer that question. Not yesterday, not today. I'm almost to the point, the next person that asked me that, I might smack you because I don't have time to talk about that. Ask me about my kid. Then we maybe could ask me about myself and I would deflect to my kid really fast.Jenny (14:59):I'm thinking about, for me, resilience feels so connected to resistance. And as you were sharing stories of migration, I was thinking about my great great grandparents who migrated from Poland to the States. And a few years ago we went to Poland and did an ancestry trip and we went to a World War II museum. I really traced World War I through World War ii, but it really actually felt like a museum to resistance and seeing resistance in every tier of society from people who were Nazis soldiers smuggling out letters that were written in urine to people making papers for people to be able to get out.(16:05):And I found myself clinging to those stories right now as ice continues to disappear people every day and trying to stay situated in where and how can I resist and where and how can I trust that there are other people resisting even if I don't know how they are, and where can I lean into the relationships and the connections that are fostering collective resistance? And that's how I'm finding it as I am sitting with the reality of how similar what we are experiencing in the US is to early days of Nazi Germany and how can I learn from the resistance that has already taken place in former atrocities that are now being implemented by the country that I live in.Rebecca (17:41):That makes me think, Jenny of a couple of things. One, it's hard to breathe through this that we are perilously close to Nazi Germany. That feels like there's not a lot of vocabulary that I have for that. But it also makes me think of something that Renee said about going to the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, and stepping really close to the details of that story, because I don't know if you remember this, Renee, but there's one exhibit that talks about this white law firm that was the money behind the Montgomery bus boycott and was the legal underpinning behind that. And I don't think I knew until I went to that museum and saw that it's like one picture on one poster in the middle of this big exhibit. And I don't think I knew that. I know a lot of things about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Busboy.(18:53):I've taught them to my kids. We know about her and the bus and all of that, but the details and to know that there was this group of white people in 1950 something that stepped forward to be resistant in that moment. And it's like, gosh, I didn't know that. And it makes me, Jenny have the question, how many more times has that happened in history? And we don't actually have that information. And so the only larger narrative that I have access to is how white people were the oppressors and the aggressors in that. And that's true. I'm not trying to take anything away from that. But also there was this remnant of people who said, not me, not my house, not my family, not today, not tomorrow, not at any time in my lifetime. Am I going to be on the wrong side of history on this conversation? And I think that that's probably true in many places and spaces that we don't have access to the detail of the stories of resistance and alliance that is there across people groups, and we don't have that information.Jenny (20:21):It makes me think of something that's front of mind just because we were in Detroit last week as we talk about Rosa Parks, she lived the end of her days in Detroit in a home that the CEO of Little Caesar's spot for her,Wow. Where it's like one, it's tragic to me that such a heroine had had to need some financial assistance from some white CEO, and that was what that CEO decided to use his money towards is really beautiful for me. And you can go to her house in Detroit. It's just a house now. But it is, it's like how many of these stories we know that actually are probably for good reason if they're happening right now, because it's not always safe to resist. And we were just having breakfast with a friend today talking about, and or what a brilliant show it is and how resistance probably needs to be underground in a lot of ways in this current moment.Danielle (21:54):Do you know the animal for Los Martos, Renee? Maybe it, it's the Libre. It's the spirit animals from Mexican folklore, and they come out and they have to, traditionally they represent three of the four elements like air, water, earth, and fire. And so they put them on the altars and they're like spiritual protectors or whatever. And they highlighted during this time, and I don't know if any of y'all have seen some of the videos of, there's a couple videos where there's a couple of these more racist folks trying to chase after a person of color, and they just trip and they fall out their face on the pavement and talking with a couple of friends, some Mexican friends, they're like, oh, Libre has got that. They just bam flat, just the idea that the earth tripped them up or something. I love that. Something in the spirit wall brought them to their knees. So yesterday I took Luis is like, what are you doing? I made him go get me all this spray paint. And I put these wood panels together and partly we had at home and I was using his wood. He's like, don't paint all of it, but I was painting this panel of this que and I'm going to put it in downtown, and it's not something I'm doing and I'm thwarting the government. But it did feel resilient to paint it or to think about the spirit world tripping up these guys. It gave me some joyRebecca (23:42):But I actually think, and I've talked to you about this a little bit, Danielle, I think what I love about that is that there's something in the collective story of Mexican people that you can borrow from, that you can pull from to find this moment of resilience, of resistance, of joy, of relief release. And I think we need to do more of that. So often when we step into our collective narratives, it's at the pain points, it is at the wounding points. And I think that I love that there's something of something that you can borrow that is a moment of strength out of our collective narrative. I think that that's actually how you grow resilience. I think it is how you learn to recognize it is you borrow from this collective narrative, this moment of strength so that you can bring it with you in this moment. I think that that's who Rosa Parks has been in my community to me in my family, I think I've told you guys this before, but I have a daughter who's now in college, but when she was in elementary school, we had a whole thing for a semester with a bus driver that just had it out for black and brown kids on her bus route to the point that all the white kids in our little suburban neighborhood were like, what the heck is wrong with a bus driver coming after all the brown people?(25:13):And I remember actually borrowing from the story of Rosa Parks to say to my daughter, this is how we're going to handle this. What does it look like for you with dignity, but really firmly say, you cannot mistreat me. You will not mistreat me on this bus route. And so to me, the story, what you're telling Danielle, is that same sort of, let me borrow from this folklore, from this narrative, something to give to myself, to my family, to my people in this moment. I love that. I'm going to borrow it. I'm going to steal it. So send me a picture of the painting.Renee (26:03):Yeah. Have you guys talked about, I guess expressions or epigenetics, I guess with resilience with epigenetics, when we do experience hardship, there's a certain way of taking that hardship in and either it alters our expression or our reaction, our behavior and how we carry that through across generations. But I was thinking of that word even with Jenny when you were talking about resilience to you, you remember it maybe probably in your body as resistance because of your great grandparents. My question was, or even just with D Los MTOs, the spirits that help that are kind of like protectors, did you guys sense that as information first or did you feel it first kind like that there's this feeling inside, you can't really quite pinpoint it, but you feel it as a practice and then when you do get that information, you're like, ah, that's what it was. Or is it the other way? I need information first. And then you're like, okay, it confirms this. I dunno. I don't know if that's a clear question, but I was just kind of curious about that. Even with the Rosa Parks, this is how we're going to do it, this is how we remember it, that was successful in its ways. Yeah.Jenny (27:54):I think for me personally, the more stories I learn, the more of me makes sense. And the same great grandparents were farmers and from where they lived to the port sold vegetables along the way to pay for their travels. And then when they got to the port, sold their wagon to pay for their ship tickets and then just arrived in the states with practically nothing. And there's so much of a determined hope in that, that I have felt in myself that is willing to just go, I don't know where this is going to lead to, but I'm going to do it. And then when I hear these stories, I'm like, oh yeah, and it's cool to be with my husband as I'm hearing these family stories, and he'll just look at me like, oh, that sounds familiar.Danielle (29:07):I think there's a lot of humor in our family's resistance that I've discovered. So it's not surprising. I felt giddy watching the videos, not just because I enjoyed seeing them fall, but it did feel like the earth was just catching their foot. When I used to run in basketball in college, sometimes people would say, oh, I tripped on the lines. The lines of the basketball court grabbed them and just fell down. And I think for a moment, I don't know, in my faith, like God or the earth has its own way of saying, I'm not today. I've had enough today and you need to stop. And so that's one way. I don't know. I feel it in my body first. Yeah. What about you? Okay.Renee (30:00):Yeah, humor, definitely A lot of one elder that I knew just with crack jokes all the time, but had the most painful story, I think, of boarding school and stuff. And then we had the younger generation kind of just ask him questions, but one of the questions for him to him was, you joke a lot, how did you become so funny? And then he was just like, well, I got to do this, or else I'll like, I'll cry. So there's just the tragic behind it. But then also, yeah, humor really does carry us. I was thinking about that one guy that was heckling the lady that was saying free Palestine, and then he tripped. He tripped backwards. And you're like, oh.(31:00):So just those, I think those captures of those mini stories that we're watching, you're like, okay, that's pretty funny. But I think for us in not speaking for all indigenous, but even just within my community, there's a lot of humor for just answering to some of the things that are just too, it's out of our realm to even just, it's so unbelievable. We don't even know what to do with this pain, but we can find the humor in it and laugh about the absurdity of what's happening and And I think even just our cultural practices, a lot of times my husband Donnie and I talk about just living. I don't necessarily like to say that I live in two worlds. I am part of both. I am. We are very present in both of just this westernized society perspective, but we do see stark differences when we're within our indigenous perspective, our worldview, all those things that it's just very like, whoa, this is really different.(32:27):There's such a huge contrast. We don't know if it's a tangent line that never crosses, but then there are moments where when communities cross that there is this possibility that there's an understanding amongst each other and stuff. But I think even just with our cultural practice, the timeline of things that are happening in current news, it's so crazy. But then you look to, if you turn your head and you look toward the indigenous communities, they're fully into their cultural practices right now, like harvest dances and ceremonies and all those things. And it's just kind of like, okay, that's got grounding us right now. We're continuing on as it feels like the side is burning. So it's just this huge contrast that we're constantly trying to hold together, living in the modern world and in our cultural traditions, we're constantly looking at both and we're like, okay, how do we live and integrate the two?(33:41):But I think even just those cultural practices, seeing my girls dance, seeing them wear their traditional clothing, seeing them learning their language, that just my heart swells, gives me hope that we're continuing on even when it feels like things are falling and coming apart and all those things. But yeah, real quick story. Last week we had our school feast day. So the kids get to kind of showcase their culture, they wear their traditional clothes, and kids are from all different tribes, so everybody dresses differently. We had a family that was dancing their Aztec dances and Pueblo tribes in their Pueblo regalia, Navajo students wearing their Navajo traditional clothes and all those things. So all these different tribes, everyone's showcasing, not just showcasing, but presenting their cultural things that they've been learning. And at the very end, my daughter, her moccasin fell off and we were like, oh, no, what's happening? But thankfully it was the end of the day. So we were like, okay. So I took apart her leggings and then took off her moccasin and stuff. Then so we started walking back to the car, and then my other daughter, her moccasin leggings were unwrapping.(35:17):We were laughing, just walking all the way because everyone, their leggings were coming apart too as they were walking to their car. And everyone's just laughing all like, okay, it's the end of the day. It's okay. We're falling apart here, but it's all right. But it was just good to kind of have that day to just be reminded of who we are, that we remain, we're still here, we're still thriving, and all those things.Rebecca (35:56):Yeah, I think the epigenetics question is interesting for the story arc that belongs to black American people because of the severing of those bloodlines in the transatlantic slave trade. And you may have gotten on the ship as different tribes and different peoples, and by the time you arrive on US soil, what was many has merged into one in response to the trauma that is the trans glamorous slave trade. So that question always throws me for a loop a little bit, because I never really know where to go with the epigenetics piece. And it also makes me understand how it is that Rosa Parks is not my ancestor, at least not that I know of. And yet she is my ancestor because the way that I've been taught out of my Black American experience to understand ancestry is if you look like me in any way, shape or form, if there's any thread, if there is a drop of African blood in, you count as an ancestor.(37:13):And that means I get permission to borrow from Rosa Parks. She was in my bloodline, and I teach that to my kids. She's an elder that you need to respect that. You need to learn all of those things. And so I don't usually think about it until I'm around another culture that doesn't feel permission to do that. And then I want to go, how do you not catch that? This, in my mind, it all collapses. And so I want to say to you, Renee, okay, every native person, but when I hear you talk, it is very clear that for you ancestry means that tracing through the clans and the lines that you can identify from your mother and your father. So again, not just naming and noticing the distinction and the differences about how we even understand the word ancestor from whatever our story arcs are, to listen to Jenny talk about, okay, great grandfather, and to know that you can only go so far in black life before you hit a white slave owner and you lose any connection to bloodline. In terms of the records, I have a friend who describes it as I look into my lineage, black, black, white, nothing. And the owner and the listing there is under his property, not his bloodline. So just noticing and naming the expansiveness that needs to be there, at least for me to enter my ancestry.Rebecca (38:56):Yeah, that's a good, so the question would be how do generations confront disruption in their lineage? How do you confront disruption? And what do you work with when there is that disruption? And how does, even with Rosa Parks, any drop of African-American blood, that's my auntie, that's my uncle. How do I adopt the knowledge and the practices and traditions that have kept us going? Whereas being here where there's very distinct tribes that are very different from one another, there's a way in which we know how to relate through our lineage. But then also across pan-Indian that there's this very familiar practice of respect of one another's traditions, knowing where those boundaries are, even though I am Zuni and if I do visit another tribe, there's a way that I know how to conduct myself and respect so that I'm honoring them and not trying to center myself because it's not the time. So just the appropriateness of relationships and stuff like that. So yeah, that's pretty cool conversation.Danielle (40:40):It was talking from a fisherman from Puerto Vallarta who'd lived there his whole life, and he was talking, he was like, wink, wink. People are moving here and they're taking all the fish. And we were like, wait, is it Americans? Is it Canadians? He is like, well, and it was people from other states in Mexico that were kind of forced migration within Mexico that had moved to the coast. And he's like, they're forgetting when we go out and fish, we don't take the little fish. We put 'em back and we have to put 'em back because if we don't put 'em back, then we won't have fish next year. And he actually told us that he had had conversations. This is how close the world seems with people up in Washington state about how tribal members in Washington state on the coast had restored coastline and fish populations. And I thought, that is so cool. And so his whole thing was, we got to take care of our environment. I'm not radical. He kept telling us, I'm not radical in Spanish. I want my kid to be able to fish. We have so much demand for tourism that I'm worried we're going to run out, so we have to make this. How do we make it sustainable? I don't know. It just came to mind as how stories intersect and how people see the value of the land and how we are much more connected, like you said, Renee, because of even the times we can connect with people across thousands of miles,(42:25):It was really beautiful to hear him talk about how much he loved these little fish. He's like, they're little and they squirm around and you're not supposed to eat. He is like, they need to go back. They need to have their life, and when it's ready, then we'll eat them. And he said that in Spanish, it sounded different, but sounded way better. Yeah. Yeah. In Spanish, it was like emotional. It was connected. The words were like, there's a word in Spanish in Gancho is like a hook, but it also can mean you're deceived. And he is like, we can't deceive ourselves. He used that word. We can't deceive ourselves that the fish will be here next year. We can't hook. And with the play on words, because you use hook to catch fish, right?That's like a play on words to think about how do we preserve for the next generation? And it felt really hopeful to hear his story because we're living in an environment in our government that's high consumer oriented, no matter who's in charge. And his slowing down and thinking about the baby fish, just like you said, Renee is still dancing. We're still fishing, felt good.Renee (43:59):I remember just even going to Juno, Alaska for celebration when all the Alaskan tribes make that journey by canoe to Juneau. And even that, I was just so amazed that all the elders were on the side on the shore, and the people in the canoe did this whole ceremony of asking for permission to come on the land. And I was like, dang, even within, they're on their own land. They can do what they want, but yet they honor and respect the land and the elders to ask for permission first to get out, to step out. So it's just like, man, there's this really cool practice of reciprocity even that I am learning. I was taught that day. I was like, man, that's pretty cool. Where are those places that will help me be a good human being in practicing reciprocity, in relationship with others and with the land? Where do I do that? And of course, I remember those things like, okay, you don't take more than you need. You always are mindful of others. That's kind of the teachings that come from my tribe, constantly being mindful of others, mindful of what you're saying, mindful of the way you treat others, all those things against. So yeah. So I think even just this conversation crossing stories and everything, it's generative. It reminds us of all these ways that we are practicing resilience.(45:38):I was going to tell you, Danielle, about humor in resilience, maybe a little humble bragging, but Randy Woodley and Edith were here last week, and Donnie and I got to hang out with them. And I was telling them about this Facebook group called, it's like a Pueblo Southwest group. And people started noticing that there were these really intimate questions being asked on the page. And then people started realizing that it's ai, it's like a AI generated questions. So with Facebook, it's kind of maybe automatically implemented into, it was already implemented into these groups. And so this ai, it's called, I forget the name, but it will ask really sensitive questions like cultural questions. And people started, why are you asking this question? They thought it was the administrator, but then people were like, oh, they caught on like, oh, this is ai. And then people who kind of knew four steps ahead, what was happening, they were like, don't answer the questions. Some people started answering earnestly these really culturally sensitive questions, but people were like, no, don't answer the questions. Because they're mining for information. They're mining for knowledge from our ways. Don't give it to them.(47:30):So now every time this AI robot or whatever asks a question that's very sensitive, they just answer the craziest. That's a good one of them was one of 'em was like, what did you learn during a ceremonial dance? And no one would ask that question to each other. You don't ask that question. So people were like, oh, every time I hear any man of mine, a country song, they just throw out the crazies. And I'm sitting there laughing, just reading. I'm like, good. Oh man, this is us. Have you ever had that feeling of like, this is us. Yes, we caught on. We know what you're doing. This is so good. And then just thinking of all these answers that are being generated and what AI will spit out based off of these answers. And so I was telling Randy about this, and he just like, well, this is just what used to happen when settlers used to first come and interact with indigenous people. Or even the ethnographers would come and mind for information, and they gather all this knowledge from indigenous communities. And then these communities started catching on and would just give them these wild answers. And then these ethnographers would gather up this information and then take it to the school, and the teachers would teach this information. So maybe that's why the school system has some crazy out there information about indigenous peoples. But that's probably part of what's happened here. But I just thought that was so funny. I was like, oh, I love us.Rebecca (49:19):Yeah, that's going to show up in some fourth graders history report or social studies report something about, right. And I can't wait to see that. Yeah, that's a good idea. So good. That feels like resistance and resilience, Renee.Renee (49:40):Yeah. Yeah. Humorous resistance. It just, yeah. So one of the questions is, have you ever harvested traditional pueblo crops?(49:52):And then some puts, my plastic plants have lasted generations with traditional care.So unserious just very, yeah, it's just so funny. So anytime I want to laugh, I go to, oh, what did this ai, what's this AI question for today? Yeah. People have the funniest, funniest answers. It givesYeah, yeah. Jenny's comment about it kind of has to go underground. Yeah. What's underneath the surface?Danielle (50:36):I have to pause this, but I'd love to have you back. Rebecca knows I'm invited every week. May invited. I have a client coming. But it is been a joy.  Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

In this episode of JCO PO Article Insights, host Dr. Jiasen He summarizes the article, "Somatic Mutation Profiles of Colorectal Cancer by Birth Cohort" by Gilad, et al published October 11, 2025. TRANSCRIPT Jiasen He: Hello, and welcome to the JCO Precision Oncology Article Insights. I am your host, Jiasen He, and today, we will be discussing the JCO Precision Oncology article, "Somatic Mutation Profiles of Colorectal Cancer by Birth Cohort," by Dr. Gilad and colleagues. Early-onset colorectal cancer is defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed before the age of 50. Several reports have suggested that early-onset colorectal cancer has unique characteristics. Compared with late-onset colorectal cancer, early-onset colorectal cancer cases are more commonly found in the distal colon or rectum, tend to be diagnosed at more advanced stages, and may display unfavorable histologic features. Although the overall incidence of colorectal cancer has declined in recent decades, the incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer continues to rise. This increase appears to be driven by birth cohort effects. The reasons behind this rise remain unclear but are likely multifactorial, involving changes in demographics, diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and genetic predisposition. At the same time, studies have shown conflicting results regarding whether there are differences in the mutation profiles between early-onset and late-onset colorectal cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to explore whether colorectal cancer somatic mutational landscape differs across birth cohorts, as this could provide important insight into generational shifts in colorectal cancer incidence. To address this question, the authors conducted a retrospective study to characterize the mutation spectrum of colorectal cancer across different birth cohorts. Consecutive colorectal cancer patients who underwent somatic next-generation sequencing at the University of Chicago pathology laboratory between 2015 and 2022 were retrospectively identified. Tumors were tested for 154 to 168 genes and categorized as either microsatellite stable or high according to established thresholds. Patients with hereditary cancer syndromes or inflammatory bowel disease were excluded. Participants were then grouped into birth cohorts by decades, as well as into two major groups: those born before 1960 and after 1960. Genes that were identified in at least 5% of the sample were selected and grouped into 10 canonical cancer signaling pathways. These genes and pathways were then included in the analysis to explore their association with colorectal cancer across different birth cohorts and age groups. A total of 369 patients were included in the study, with a median birth year of 1955 and a median age at colorectal cancer diagnosis of 62.9 years. 5.4% were identified as having microsatellite-high tumors. The median tumor mutational burden was 5 mutations per megabase for microsatellite-stable tumors and 57.7 mutations per megabase for microsatellite-high tumors. Patients with microsatellite-high tumors tended to have earlier birth years and were diagnosed at an older age. However, after adjusting for potential confounders, neither birth year nor age remained statistically significant. Similarly, after controlling for confounders, no significant associations were observed between birth year or age and mutation burden. In this cohort, APC, TP53, and KRAS were the most frequently mutated genes. No statistically significant differences in the prevalence of gene mutations were observed across birth cohorts. Correspondingly, the most affected signaling pathways were the Wnt, TP53, and (RTK)/RAS pathways. Similar to the gene-level finding, no significant differences in the prevalence of these pathways were identified among birth cohorts. When examining patients born before and after 1960, the authors found that the older birth cohorts were diagnosed at an older age and had higher tumor mutational burden. However, no significant differences were observed in any of the genes or pathways analyzed. Among microsatellite-stable tumors, 18.3% were classified as early-onset colorectal cancer, while 81.1% were late-onset colorectal cancer. Consistent with previous reports, early-onset colorectal cancers in this cohort were more likely to be left-sided and more common among more recent birth cohorts. However, no significant differences were identified in any of the examined genes or pathways when comparing early-onset to late-onset colorectal cancer. In this cohort, a higher prevalence of early-onset colorectal cancer was observed among more recent birth cohorts, consistent with previous reports. Still, no distinct mutational signature was identified between the early and late birth cohorts. The authors proposed that the lack of distinct mutational profile by age or birth cohort may be due to the limited number of key molecular pathways driving colorectal cancer. Although environmental exposures likely differ across generations, the downstream effects may have converged on similar biological mechanisms, leading to comparable somatic mutations across cohorts. Alternately, they proposed that the observed birth cohort differences in colorectal incidence may be driven by distinct mutation signatures, epigenetic alterations, or changes in the immune microenvironment rather than variations in canonical gene mutations. As the authors noted, given the retrospective nature of this study, its modest sample size, and the predominance of advanced-stage tumors, larger prospective studies are needed to validate these findings. In summary, this study found no significant differences in the mutational landscape of colorectal cancer across birth cohorts or age groups. The authors proposed that the generational shift in colorectal cancer incidence is unlikely to be driven by changes in the underlying tumor genomics. However, larger prospective studies are needed to validate these findings. Thank you for tuning in to JCO Precision Oncology Article Insights.

Let's talk about body image and how to stop comparing yourself to other in this interview with author Deb Schachter. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Rethinking Body Image from a Somatic Perspective with Deb Schachter Most of us try to fix body image by changing how we look — dieting, working out harder, or comparing ourselves to others. But what if real healing starts on the inside? In this conversation with somatic therapist Deb Schachter, we explore a radically different approach to body image — one that begins with listening to the body, rather than judging it. Deb explains how our relationship with our body is shaped by early experiences, trauma, and disconnection, and how we can begin to repair that relationship through awareness, compassion, and presence.

Click here to send me a quick message :) So many of us are walking around with the beliefs we created in childhood running the show.And almost always, we are unconscious of it. Largely because we have other parts of ourselves protecting us from feeling or becoming aware of the hurt parts of ourselves.These "parts" protect us, or try to, and in a way cause us to act and react to everything from social interactions to work to relationships to sexual connections to how-we-treat-our-own-selves.So, what can we do to heal some of these deep core wounds (whether they came from obvious trauma or from less-visible places in our lives)?And how can we use embodied practices to help us do that? This is what Kristen Stake and I talk about on this week's episode.Not only is she a licensed professional counselor trained deeply in Internal Family Systems (aka "parts work"). She is also a mover, and somatic practices have been a huge part of her life and healing path. So she has developed her own style of bridging the world of "parts work" and somatic practices like authentic movement into an embodied form of "Moving With Our Parts."If you're new to IFS, or seasoned in the work, this episode is a great foundation on what it is, how it can help you become a better version of yourself, and how to bring some of those "parts" into your body and move with them to help them be accepted, expressed, and maybe even let their hold go a little bit, too.I hope this conversation offers you some glimpses into what's possible for you. Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Kristen's offerings + the books she mentionedGrab the free Womb Connection & Clearing guided practiceSign up for the waitlist for Natural Contraception the Herbal Way program!Episode 121: Healing heartbreak with IFS with Sara Avant StoverIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Functional healing isn't about bouncing back, it's about becoming more whole. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by somatic expert Veronica Rottman, founder of Soma School, to explore what happens when post-traumatic growth deepens into post-traumatic wisdom. Together, they unpack how healing often involves grief, identity shifts, and surrender, not just resilience and strength. You'll hear how emotions are constructed in the body, why dissociation and fawning are intelligent survival responses, and how safety is rebuilt through slow, titrated somatic experiences. We discuss how cultural narratives about “getting stronger” can overlook the body's need for modulation, rest, and relational repair. You'll learn how capacity building is nonlinear, why co-regulation and oxytocin-based safety cues matter, and how tending to wounds rather than fixing them can transform pain into embodied wisdom. Join us for a workshop, taking a deeper dive into Hormones, Stress and the Female Nervous System, combining applied neuroscience and somatics to support female cycles: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/female-nervous-system-workshop/   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and framing: growth vs. wisdom 05:30 Emotions as predictions and survival patterning 14:00 Dissociation, boundaries, and identity shifts 22:30 Somatic titration, oxytocin, and co-regulation practices 31:00 Capacity, achievement, and health trade-offs 39:30 Reframing fawn and freeze as intelligent responses 47:00 Cyclical needs, rest, and redefining growth 54:00 Integration, tending, and systemic context 59:00 Takeaways and next steps Key Takeaways: Post-traumatic wisdom includes grief, ambiguity, and letting identities evolve, not only resilience. Emotions are constructed from interoception and predictions; safety cues can update those predictions. Small, consistent somatic doses help the system perceive more safety without overwhelm. Fawn and freeze are adaptive; meeting them with curiosity reduces shame and supports change. Capacity building is relational; co-regulation and oxytocin-supportive practices can expand what feels possible.

Episode Highlights With BrittanyWhy this work is so important, especially for momsHow babies co-regulate with moms for several years and how our children borrow our nervous systems for several years until theirs' developHow dysregulated nervous systems affect parenting and the parent child bondChildren are wired to come to their caregivers for regulation, so when the caregiver is a source of fear or dysregulation this can create attachment issues and other issuesPerfection is not required- in fact an in-depth study found that mothers being attuned even just 30% of the time led to secure attachment in the child. So we don't even have to get it right the majority of the time!Navigating rupture and repair well can actually lead to more resilience and secure attachmentSomatic practices that moms can do on the go when we feel overwhelmed Practical tools that moms can use to benefit our nervous systems and our familiesHow movement is so helpful for the nervous systemWhat resourcing is and how doing this for just a couple minutes a day can be really helpfulHow attunement is so important and can be helpful even if we're personally not regulatedWays to help our kids develop healthy nervous system regulation and attachment.Her advice for those struggling with mom guilt.Resources MentionedBody First Healing ProgramBrittany on InstagramBody First Healing - the book

What if your healing isn't stuck — it's just waiting for your nervous system to feel safe? This week on The You-est You® Podcast, I sat down with somatic trauma expert Dr. Arielle Schwartz, to talk about trauma, generational healing, and why your vagus nerve (yes, that magical nerve) might be the KEY to rewiring your life from the inside out. Here's the part most people never hear in their healing journey: Trauma isn't just in your mind. It's stored in your body. And your nervous system can be rewired — even after years of shutdown or survival mode. If your nervous system has been whispering (or shouting), “Something needs to shift…” — this is your invitation. Let this episode be a reminder: You are not broken. Your body is speaking. And healing is always possible.   Takeaways Arielle's journey began with early adversity and trauma. Somatic healing practices can help reconnect with the body. Intuition plays a crucial role in understanding our healing journey. Post-traumatic growth emphasizes resilience and strength. Adversity is part of the story but does not define it. Healing is a lifelong journey that requires compassion. Generational trauma can impact our present experiences. We can learn to hold both our struggles and strengths. The body keeps the score of our emotional experiences. Pain can serve a purpose in fostering compassion and empathy.     About Dr. Arielle Schwartz Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist, internationally recognized trauma expert, and author known for bridging somatic healing, nervous system science, and spiritual resilience. She specializes in complex trauma recovery, vagus nerve regulation, and embodied healing, guiding thousands worldwide through her teachings on post-traumatic growth and embodied presence. Her work empowers people to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their inner wisdom, and access nervous-system-led healing.   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Join Julie Reisler weekly, podcast host, intuitive coach, author, and multi-time TEDx speaker, each week to learn how to access your spiritual gifts and inner guidance to be your You-est You® and achieve greater inner peace, spiritual connection, happiness, and abundance.
