What does it really mean to “listen to your body”? In this episode, I talk with Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Master Certified Somatic Life Coach. We explore the world of somatics - the study and practice of embodied awareness. Béa unpacks what somatics truly means, how our nervous systems hold onto old patterns, and why building a sense of safety in the body is essential for real change. We discuss practical tools for grounding, regulating emotions, and cultivating agency in the face of everyday stressors.

There's a lot of questionable healing advice online — much of it unqualified, ungrounded, and not backed by true psychological or expertise. Today, I'm joined by the most qualified psychotherapist I've ever met. Once a Prima Ballerina, then Miss Canada, and now a Chartered Psychologist (BPS) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner — among many other things — Ailey Jolie joins us to unpack why so many women are out here striving, achieving, chasing perfection, and building dream lives… all while leaving their internal world in quiet chaos. Ailey breaks down the subtle, sneaky ways women perform and present — especially in dating, career, and sexuality — and why recognising these patterns is essential to rewriting your story and actually beginning to heal. We talk about the difference between being busy and being dangerously disembodied and disconnected, and explore the often misunderstood concept of truly feeling emotions. Ailey also challenges the obsession with “release” culture. We explore somatic traps, spiritual bypassing, ayahuasca highs — and why real healing doesn't come from fireworks, but from slow, grounded integration. This is one for the real healing girls.  ✨ READY TO START YOUR SOMATIC HEALING JOURNEY? ✨  → Free 7 day trial of Daily Devotion (Daily Rituals): HERE

Eight years ago, I landed myself in the office of a nurse practitioner/functional medicine specialist who specialized in gut health. I had been inexplicably bloated and exhausted for months and didn't know why. Little did I know that woman would go on to not only remedy my body, but change the overall trajectory of my life and career.Flash forward to today, while she's still an expert when it comes to our bodies, our nervous systems, and how the two speak to one another, her work is primarily focused on helping folks rid themselves of codependent, people-pleasing tendencies. And candidly, all the physical issues I suffered from back in 2017 were really just a manifestation of mental and emotional turmoil. Namely, living a life that was more based on external approval than internal fulfillment.She brings a really fresh perspective to codependency, and what she refers to as "emotional outsourcing."Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, author of the forthcoming "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits" (expected Sept 30, Hachette Balance) and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and rewire their minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people pleasing and reclaim their joy.Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

We are so glad to welcome back Brittany Piper – speaker, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and educator in sexual violence prevention and trauma recovery. In this episode, she is sharing her expertise of somatic healing, which starts with the body and can be life-changing for anyone with trauma, anxiety, and/or chronic stress, especially if traditional talk therapy isn't working. We discuss the science of the nervous system, learning the language of your body and how to regulate your stress responses, how to de-escalate your anxiety, and what a “trigger” actually is. We also discuss trauma and anxiety in relationships – talking to your partner about your needs, how you can be a helpful partner to someone who is struggling, co-regulating, and using a tool called “parts work” in a conflict. Before Brittany joins us, we're discussing wild AI text summaries, and unpacking a listener dilemma about a situationship with a colleague.

What if the key to healing your patterns, pain, and even chronic symptoms isn't in your mind — but in your nervous system? In part 2 of this powerful conversation, I welcome back Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma Expert Sarah Baldwin to dive even deeper into the unseen architecture behind our behaviors, relationships, and health.   We pick up where we left off — exploring the six nervous system states — and take a closer look at the three core states of regulation. Sarah shares how patterns like avoidance and overachievement are often misunderstood protector parts, and how chronic dysregulation can silently drive emotional, physical, and relational suffering.   This episode also takes us into the transformative world of parts work — a method of identifying and tending to the younger, vulnerable parts of ourselves that carry unresolved pain, and the protective parts that step in to keep us safe. Sarah explains how healing happens when we step into our adult self and become the loving, attuned protector those parts have always needed.   We explore the building blocks of real intimacy, how to gently reconnect with your inner child, why endings can be sacred gifts, and why nervous system regulation may be the most powerful medicine of all.   From breathwork and stillness to play and embodiment, Sarah offers practical tools to support daily regulation and rewiring your nervous system. We also touch on the power of reparenting our younger parts and cultivating the adult self that allows for deep healing, connection, and lasting change.   If you've ever wondered why healing hasn't "stuck," why certain patterns keep repeating, or why even LOVE can feel unsafe — this episode is for you.   LINKS Sarah Baldwin's Website: https://www.sarahbaldwincoaching.com/ Sarah Baldwin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahbcoaching/ SPONSORS HONEYLOVE: Go to https://www.honeylove.com/HEAL and use our exclusive link to get 20% OFF.

A powerful, must-listen exploration of how our nervous systems shapes every aspect of our lives. Whether you struggle with anxiety, negative relationship patterns, or feel stuck in survival mode, this extraordinary episode will equip you with the profound wisdom and tools to get back in the driver's seat of your life, heal past trauma, and experience the life of your dreams.   Are you truly in control of your life, or are you in the back seat while your nervous system drives the car? In this eye-opening episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Sarah Baldwin, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma resolution expert, to explore how our nervous system unconsciously shapes our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We uncover how past experiences create invisible walls that keep us from the love, success, and fulfillment we crave — and why true healing isn't just about processing the past, but about expanding our capacity to receive the good in life.   Sarah unpacks the science of attachment, breaking down how anxious, avoidant, and disorganized patterns shape relationships and why we unconsciously repeat familiar dynamics. She reveals how our nervous system — not our conscious mind — drives our choices, influencing everything from love to career. We also explore why success, love, and abundance can feel overwhelming, how to release stored trauma, and why words alone aren't enough for lasting healing.   Most importantly, Sarah shares how practical, science-backed somatic exercises can help regulate the nervous system, rewire stress patterns, and expand our capacity for joy, connection, and fulfillment. This episode will make you feel seen. Tune in now to learn how to break free from survival mode, regulate your nervous system, and step into a life of greater peace, joy, and possibility!

Burnout is a complex health syndrome that we seem to be hearing more cases of everyday. I am seeing it more and more in workplaces and working with people moving trough big life transitions. So I have been deeply curious about it for the last couple of years and wanting to talk to a guest about it on my podcast. Who better to discuss than Dr Ashlea Broomfield - The Vitality Doctor.Dr Ash is a specialist GP, sexologist, Mind-Body Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Meditation Coach and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician. Dr Ash is invested in her patients health holistically, she is invested in supporting patients to flourish holistically as a whole person, mentally, physically, sexually and spiritually.Today we talked about Burnout. What is it? How does it come about? Is it a workplace issue or a cultural issue. Given the culture we live in how can we resource and nourish our bodies to ensure this doesn't happen to us. We talked about the body as a whole system and that our health exists and is influenced by the environments that we exist within. We also discussed:- Women's menstruality, their menarche, motherhood and menopause and how these big changes to our endocrine system and the roles that we take up in life impact our mental and physical health;- Chronic workplace stress that is not being managed well;- What the conditions are that set someone up for burnout, as defined by the world health organisation (WHO);- How the working conditions and the 40 hour work week were created 150 years ago when we had more community support for families and roles and expectations for parents were very different;- Burnout as a complex systemic issue and what are the solutions that we can put in place to solve it;- It starts with us as individuals being clear about our own limits and boundaries and learning to identify what a YES and NO feels like in our body.Dr Ash really has fantastic perspective on this so make sure you listen to the very end because there are some really wise words she has for all of us. If you would like to connect with Dr Ash you can find her at drashleabroomfield.com.au, on instagram @thevitalitydoctor. On facebook Dr Ashlea Broomfield - The Vitality Doctor.

On this episode of the BHNN Guest Podcast, East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner discuss the role of song in psychedelics and explore how the ethereal can be accessed through music.In this episode, East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner discuss:The many ways we can arrive at non-ordinary statesThe power of intention when making musicHow music can act as a bridge to the etherealHow music can influence emotional states and brain statesMusic as a birthright and how anyone can be and is a musicianThe exponential growth rate of societyReclaiming creativity as a necessary technologyPsychedelics and music as propellers into a trance stateTruly giving ourselves over to the musicHaving a guide or therapist to work withThe impact of intention and set and settingAbout East Forest:East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. Since 2008, East Forest's “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion. Known for being the first musician to collaborate with Ram Dass, his latest endeavor is the feature-length film Music for Mushrooms, a narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community.“If you think about psychedelic ceremonies across human history, almost all of them were guided by songs and music. The same thing is used in the background of stores, birthday parties, weddings, working out, music is everywhere. But, it is the one thing that guides a ceremony typically. It could be been dancing, it could've been you always walk, no, it's music. It's showing us the power and potential of how it's deeply connected to non-dual, to the mystery itself, it's a kind of bridge.” – East ForestAbout Marisa Radha Weppner:Marisa Radha Weppner is a mom, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, DJ, teacher, minister, psychedelic therapist, community organizer, life coach, podcaster, and entrepreneur.

Now, it's become something different that we are or aren't, that we relegate to a certain subset of the population. But I would say we all are musicians and part of our awakening takes us back to that.” – Marisa Radha WeppnerAbout Jackie Dobrinska:Jackie Dobrinska is the Director of Education, Community & Inclusion for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and the current host of Ram Dass' Here & Now podcast.

Welcome back to the show! This week, I am SO excited to be bringing you this RICH money conversation with Felina Danalis, M.A., S.E.P. (she/her) who helps individuals and mission-driven organizations master resilience to stress, anxiety and trauma in order to have a more meaningful impact in the world in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, body-based way. This conversation adds something that has been sorely missing on my show-  a global and systemic angle to money that has never been discussed before.Folks, a holistic, trauma informed conversation about money must include the various aspects of systemic and social traumas that impact how humans relate to money. "We can talk about what's happening on an individual level but if we're not also taking into account systemic trauma we can really cause a lot of harm to ourselves and the people we are serving.”This conversation also explores the idea of the exploitation of self, and our “inner colonizer” which is something I see a lot in myself and my clients.Felina and I also address the impact of human consumption on the climate, and the implications of consuming material objects on the global system, their cost on the environment and our wellbeing on the long run. We also bring up the idea of sufficiency and how important it is in our relationship to money as healers and coaches, as it pertains to our overall wellbeing, wealth and our collaboration with others. I hope you love this episode!

In this episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Nicole Lohse, diving deep into the world of somatics. Nicole shares how she got into somatics and defines what it means along with Feldenkrais. We discuss her current biggest triggers and reflect on her most enjoyable and joyful childhood memories. Nicole offers insights on how to integrate learning and awareness to actually embody changes in our lives, and she explores the concept of pleasure and how to incorporate it, especially when we're in survival mode. She shares practical advice on changing patterns, being present in the moment, and the challenges and rewards of running her own business. We also talk about how to support friends going through trauma, and Nicole reveals her strategies for pausing when caught in a trauma cycle, including her own experiences of being stuck in one for an extended period. She leaves listeners with a powerful message and provides information on how to connect with her and what she is currently offering. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of somatics and learn practical ways to heal and grow. Nicole even guided me through my very own somatic process with a pattern I have been stuck with for so long (being controlling of my partner) - it was so powerful, and I cannot wait for you to experience it alongside me!  Nicole Lohse is an expert in body-based trauma practices, dedicated to helping individuals embody a fuller expression of themselves. She assists clients in pausing to notice how their nervous systems are stuck in survival mode, deepening awareness of their patterns, and bringing curiosity into their healing processes.

This is a special conversation I had with Kim Jeffs, Founder, Executive & Somatic Coach of Soma and Soul and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Supervisor. From Kim: ‘I'm licensed as a mental health counseling supervisor in the State of NC. Additionally, I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, focused on high-stress physiology. Over two decades, I've explored the connection between the mind and body, obtaining various certifications that enrich my practice. This continuous learning has allowed me to help individuals tap into their potential, both professionally and personally. Despite my professional journey, it's essential to remember that, like everyone, I am human. I understand life's challenges and the importance of connection. I believe that we navigate life more effectively when we're connected and supportive of one another. This philosophy drives me, ensuring that Soma & Soul isn't just a business but a place of genuine support and transformation.' Kim and I dive into mental health and bring awareness in how to identify if you are struggling with mental health. She also discusses Somatics, which is our bodies, and how our bodies can let us know if we need help processing our feelings/emotions. We also discuss the symptom of over-doing anything that isn't good for us like over-drinking, over-working, over-eating etc. We highlight the need to get mental health support and that everyone struggles at some point or even regularly in their lives. There is no shame in getting help and just because you think you ‘should be happy' because of your life circumstances, doesn't mean that you don't deserve to find out why you aren't feeling or living the way you want or think you could. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and it helps you recognize if you need additional support.
