Podcasts about Somatics

Your chronic pain, your tight hips, your inability to wind down… a lot of it isn't just aging or overtraining.This week, I sit down with Liz Tenuto, somatic instructor and founder of The Workout Witch, to talk about what's actually driving the tension most people have been managing for years without ever addressing the root cause. Stress lives in the body. So does the solution.What makes this conversation land is that Liz doesn't just teach this work, she lived her way into it. She came out of chronic pain, insomnia, and a genuinely hard few years. The tools she shares aren't theoretical. They're the ones that got her out.What we explore:- How 80 to 90% of stress and trauma is stored in the body rather than verbal memory, and why that's the missing piece for most people who've already done the mental work.- Why the tight hips epidemic isn't a mobility problem - it's a psoas that never reset after your last stressful email.- What "functional freeze" looks like for high-performing adults who are crushing it all day and then collapsing the moment they stop.- How to know whether your chronic pain is structural or emotional - and the self-check you can do right now to start telling the difference.- Why high-intensity exercise can spike cortisol and backfire when your nervous system is already in survival mode, and how to sequence your training around your actual stress state.Chapters:00:00:00 What Somatic Movement Actually Is00:03:28 Little T Trauma: You Don't Need a Big Event to Be Carrying Something00:07:00 Signs Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated Right Now00:10:15 Why Nervous System Health Is the Next Frontier in Fitness00:19:31 Why 80% of Your Stress Lives in the Body, Not the Mind00:26:06 How to Tell the Difference Between Aging and Accumulated Tension00:36:23 Functional Freeze: The Hidden State Draining High Performers00:41:40 How to Know When Someone Has Actually Shifted00:56:32 How to Start: Time, Frequency, and What to Expect01:05:40 How Chronic Stress Disrupts Your Hormones and Health01:08:32 Why High-Intensity Exercise Can Make Things Worse When You're Stressed01:14:00 How to Build Stress Tolerance and Expand Your Capacity01:25:06 Somatics vs. Talk Therapy: What Each Does BestAbout Liz Tenuto:Liz Tenuto is a somatic instructor, Pilates teacher, and Feldenkrais-trained practitioner with over 15 years of hands-on coaching experience.

Joshua Kahn Russell returns to The Psychedologist to dive deeper into somatic work and the power of practice, engaging in a dynamic relationship with Ayahuasca, unlearning ideological tricks, survival in these times, and being of service to each other.We spend the first 30 minutes talking about somatic coaching, and then weave that into a conversation about a specific lineage of Shipibo Ayahuasca medicine's approach to agency and consent, how the two are related, and how Joshua's work resources activists and others in these overwhelming times.Bio: Joshua Kahn Russell has 13 years of experience practicing traditional Shipibo plant medicine in the Peruvian Amazon under the mentorship of Maestro Ricardo Amaringo. He regularly facilitates cohorts of social justice leaders and Indigenous land protectors to visit the Amazon and heal with traditional plant dietas. He works as a somatic leadership coach, with a 20+ year background in frontline Climate Change, racial and economic justice, and Indigenous Sovereignty grassroots movements. He has written and co- edited numerous books, including A Line In The Tar Sands: Struggles for Environmental Justice, Beautiful Trouble, and Organizing Cools the Planet: Tools and Reflections to Navigate the Climate Crisis. His most recent podcast mini-series is called Dialectics & Psychedelics: Transformation and Social Struggles.

This isn't a conversation about aging. It's a conversation about truth.There comes a season when everything you used to do to hold it all together... stops working.The pushing. The perfectionism. The hyper-independence. The overriding. The armor.And eventually, the body, wise as ever, says: no more.Somatic experiencing practitioner Natasha Pampin has walked this threshold herself. At 39, when perimenopause began, she told her gynecologist, "You're wrong," and spent years trying to think her way around the very thing her body was asking her to feel.Sound familiar?This is one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on this show. We talk about numbness, grief, nervous system survival patterns, identity collapse, menopause, perimenopause, and what it actually looks like to stop abandoning yourself, not as theory, but as lived experience.And yes... this one got personal.I share openly about my own journey through menopause, emotional overwhelm, collapse, healing, and the long process of learning how to listen to my body instead of override it.Because what if the numbness so many women feel isn't dysfunction at all? What if it's protection? What if it's survival? What if your body has been speaking all along?This conversation beautifully breaks down somatics in a deeply human way, especially for the woman who says: "I don't even know what I feel anymore."Together, Natasha and I explore what happens when a woman can no longer continue living disconnected from herself, and how menopause can become less of a breakdown and more of a sacred initiation into truth, softness, self-trust, and what many call the second spring.In This Episode- Why so many women in perimenopause and menopause go numb, and why numbness is still the body communicating- What somatic healing actually means, especially if you've struggled to feel anything at all- The hidden nervous system patterns beneath perfectionism, over-functioning, and burnout- How unresolved grief and trauma live in the body- The difference between reacting to life and responding to it- Why healing happens in relationship, not isolation- The body's incredible intelligence and capacity to guide us home to ourselves- Menopause as initiation, not decline- What it means to soften after a lifetime of bracingAbout Natasha Pampin Natasha Pampin is a somatic experiencing practitioner supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, trauma, nervous system healing, and the profound threshold of becoming.

Today, Sarah sits down with CARE (they/them) an abolitionist somatic practitioner, educator, writer, and doula for a wide-ranging conversation on trauma, spirituality, intimacy, accountability, and the wisdom of the body. Together, they explore what it means to practice abolition in our most intimate relationships, how trauma lives between us, and why healing cannot happen in isolation.

On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: What somatics actually are and why the body holds memory How trauma lives in relationships The intersection of abolition, intimacy, spirituality, and healing Why conflict is necessary for collective liberation How the body protects us until we're ready to feel The difference between safety and comfort How power, pleasure, pain, and accountability shape our lives Why the body is kind CARE (they/them) is a light-skinned Black trans non-binary abolitionist somatic practitioner and educator, writer & doula who works on remembering embodied experiences of awe, connection, miracles & care.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my friend Tracy Holemeyer (Uncontrollably Me, host of the Other Way to See It podcast) to talk about healing and performance through nervous system flexibility, somatics, and self-awareness, especially with how much stress people are carrying right now.  We dig into practical tools like orienting, grounding, the “starfish” drill, pendulation, and Tracy's “core four” (soft eyes, relaxing the tongue, breath pacing for coherence, and soft knees), plus how posture and unconscious habits can shape mood and behavior. We also explore the value of community and coaching, how movement and sound (including humming, voo breath, and growling) can help regulate, and we finish with a thoughtful discussion on psychedelics, integration, and why support and discernment matter.

What if your anxiety, exhaustion, gut issues, insomnia, chronic tension, or even emotional numbness weren't random… but your body trying to communicate unresolved stress and trauma? Somatic healing expert and When the Body Speaks author Liz Tenuto—better known online as "The Workout Witch"—joiins us to unpack how trauma gets stored in the nervous system and why so many people stay stuck even after years of therapy, self-help, and "doing all the right things." Liz explains the science behind somatic healing, bottom-up nervous system regulation, neurogenic tremors, emotional release, chronic stress physiology, and how seemingly "normal" symptoms like jaw clenching, gut issues, fatigue, insomnia, and brain fog may actually be signs your body never fully completed the stress response. This conversation blends neuroscience, emotional healing, nervous system education, and practical tools into one of the deepest conversations yet on what it truly means to move Ever Forward.

Watch on YouTubeWhat's up, black sheep!I'm changing up the format of this podcast to feel a little more true to my coaching/teaching style when working with 1:1 clients. In this episode, we're focusing on why black sheep are so guarded and why we need heart openers!Black sheep are given reasons NOT to trust others from the time we're children. Then, as we age, our parents/caretakers teach us not to trust ourselves either. After all of that, it makes sense why we struggle to trust and constantly guard ourselves.But we don't deserve to live life in a bubble just because we were raised by a toxic family.Resources from Black Sheep ExperienceThe Self-Worth Blueprint for black sheep & cycle breakersSelf-Worth CoachingTarot ReadingsWebsiteInstagramYouTubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 intro1:45 heart opening somatic practice 10:06 why are black sheep so guarded?16:08 lack of safety = trust issues = guarding your heart 18:27 creating safety in your life18:58 your claws are always in your back picked (leaving hypervigilance/guardedness)21:18 why black sheep deserve to lower our guards & open up 25:20 tarot reading - asking spirit 31:29 how to stop being so guardedyour obstacle - queen of pentacles 35:03 your support - the chariot

The field of somatics has one uncomfortable truth most people aren't ready to hear: you cannot think your way out of trauma or chronic stress. If the stress response of the body never gets discharged through physical movement, your body stays on high alert. Some people still write somatics off as “woo-woo”. That gap between what the science actually says and what people assume is exactly why I wanted to go deeper with Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch. Liz holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, is certified in Pilates and Reiki, and spent six years being mentored in the Feldenkrais Method under Augusta Moore. She got herself off beta blockers for anxiety using the same somatic exercises she now teaches. In part two of this three-part Fitness Friday series with Liz, she breaks down the actual science, Polyvagal Theory, the psoas muscle, why betrayal trauma has a biological address in your body, and why your nervous system is still running an operating system designed for surviving predators, not inbox anxiety. If you have ever felt stuck in stress no matter what you try, this is the episode that explains exactly why. What's Discussed: (0:00) How Liz grew to 4.8 million followers and who her audience really is. (1:01) Why somatics bridges the gap where doctors just tell you it's stress. (1:48) How Liz got off beta blockers for anxiety using somatic exercises. (3:12) What somatics can actually help with and how it works for sleep. (9:11) The science behind somatics and how your body stores stress physically (13:33) How trauma gets stored as subconscious muscle tension and shows up as pain. (16:52) Liz's personal story: how quitting dance made her chronic pain worse, not better. (27:05) Sleep positions that reveal your stress state: T-REX ARMS, mountain climber, extreme fetal. (33:21) The psoas muscle: the muscle of the soul and its role as a first responder in fight or flight. (35:13) The gentle 18-day protocol Liz uses before ever touching the psoas.

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!“You don't need it” is one of the most casually dismissive sentences in modern wellness.

Multi-media essay 'Tracing a Legacy: Martha Graham's Centuryl Long Journey to Jacob's Pillow'  

This podcast was recorded in 2009 and was a very early podcast episode created for a friend, Anthony, who had severe insomnia. He was due to travel for demanding business and was extremely anxious and unable to sleep more than  2or 3 hours a night. It worked for him and others have reported the same. I'm a General Hypnotherapy Registered Hypnotherapist, I've been using hypnotherapy in my work since 1995. There are so many ways we can work with words and some are incredibly beneficial. These days, in addition to all my other work, I also run a sleep clinic, called How to Sleep Better Clinic I've developed a process called Faster Sleep which integrates CBT-I, Somatics, Hypnotherapy, and more. if you have sleep problems then give this episode a go and let me know how you get along. If you're a UK resident living abroad or living in the UK and have sleep problems then send me a message and we can discuss ways I can help you. xx J  

In this episode Sascha and I tell stories of our experiences of public grief. We notice how different it feels to hold grief other's than it feels to spill our own and wonder about what conditions make grief feel safe enough or wild enough to come out into the open.

This week's episode is Single (not spiraling), I'm answering a question a listener wrote in with — she'd seen a lot of manosphere content come across her feed, found it useful at first, and then realized she was just scared of men and didn't know how to navigate dating anymore. We get into why that fear is valid and not something to fix or push past, what's shifting in the world right now, and how to actually build discernment when you're dating.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Liz Tenuto to break down somatic healing and the role your body plays in storing stress and trauma. They discuss how the nervous system operates, why many people are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, and how that leads to repeated patterns and self-sabotage.Liz explains why talk therapy alone often isn't enough, how somatic exercises help release stored tension, and what it actually takes to regulate your nervous system. If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles or reactions, this episode gives you a practical framework for understanding — and changing — what's happening in your body.Learn more about Liz: https://www.instagram.com/theworkoutwitch_/?hl=en

Most leaders don't need another strategy, another 10-step checklist, or another theoretical framework to study. What they need is the ability to embody what they have already learned about leadership to have more agency to respond to challenges when the stakes are high. In this episode, we move beyond the classroom and into the "laboratory of the self." You'll hear directly from leaders who have participated in the Roads Less Traveled (RLT) group coaching program —executives and entrepreneurs who realized that "Power Skills" like empathy, intercultural communications, presence, and resilience aren't things you learn in a PowerPoint; they are things you embody in your nervous system. Why Presence Outperforms the Plan In a volatile 2026 landscape, the leaders who thrive are those who have moved from "knowing" how to lead to being the kind of leader they want to be. By listening to those who have completed the RLT group coaching journey, we explore: The Framework Fallacy. Why adding more logic to a stressed nervous system doesn't work, and how somatic embodiment provides a new way of leading that frameworks miss. The Power of the Cohort. How practicing these "Power Skills" in a trusted community of peers accelerates transformation and prevents burning out and empathy fatigue. From Acting to Being. Real stories of shifting from a professional mask to a grounded, authentic presence that your team can actually feel. Real ROI on Power Skills. How RLT alumni used somatic practices to handle professional critiques, market shifts, and team conflict with clarity and ease. Episode Highlights The Power Skill Rebrand. Why Deloitte and Voxy data shows that interpersonal skills are now the primary competitive differentiator in an AI-driven economy. Voices from the Path. Five deep-dive testimonials from RLT graduates in tech, healthcare, and finance on how they reclaimed their leadership through the body. Working with the Body.

In part two of my conversation with Nyck Walsh, we continue exploring what it means to approach neurodivergence, therapy, and healing through a more relational, non-pathologizing, and deeply human lens.Nyck is a somatic psychotherapist, counselor educator, and author of Neurodivergent Somatics in Therapy, and this conversation moves through so many important questions: What do we actually mean when we talk about safety? Who gets to define it? What happens when neurodivergent expression is misunderstood through trauma-only or pathology-based frameworks? And what does it look like to support people in ways that are collaborative, affirming, and rooted in curiosity rather than correction?Together, we talk about safer space, trust, masking, diagnosis and self-identification, ableism in therapeutic spaces, the harm of being missed or misunderstood, and the profound freedom that can come when someone is finally able to understand themselves more clearly. We also touch on therapist self-care, power dynamics, and why this work asks all of us to keep learning, unlearning, and listening more deeply.About NyckNyck Walsh (he/they) brings a whole person, anti-oppressive, intersectional somatic lens to working with Autistic and KCS/VAST (more affirming language for “ADHD”) folks. A white, Autistic, VAST, queer, and trans counselor, Nyck is the director of the Nyck Walsh Counseling & Training Center and creator of the Neurodivergent Somatics model.He curates reparative experiences for late-identified Autistic and KCS/VAST people to connect with their innate wisdom, dismantle ableism, be supported through challenges, and make meaning of their misunderstood neurodivergent experiences. His counselor education programs have attracted an international following, with both neurodivergent and neurotypical counselors alike reporting that they feel deeply supported and validated by his approach.While being human brings no shortage of complexity, Nyck delights in frolicking in nature and living among the trees with his four-legged bestie in the mountains of what is colonially known as Colorado.Find out more at his website: nyckwalsh.comAnd you can find his new book, Neurodivergent Somatics in Therapy, An Anti-Oppressive Model for Whole Person Care, via the links below.For US orders, use this link (it includes a 20% discount and free shipping):https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324082910?promo=WALSH20For orders throughout the UK, Europe and Asia, please use this link and discount code (which includes 30% off):https://wwnorton.co.uk/books/9781324082910-neurodivergent-somatics-in-therapyAnd the discount code is WN357You can find Shelby via her website: www.shelby-leigh.comIf you're interested in assessment with Shelby, you can find out more here:⁠shelby-leigh.com/autism-and-adhd-assessments⁠

This episode is a re-release, as it is the perfect entry into Season Two of Relationship As Medicine.What does it mean to choose a wholeness paradigm instead of a pathology lens when it comes to neuro-affirming care? In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Nyck Walsh to explore what happens when we bring compassion, authenticity, and somatics into the conversation about neurodivergence. Together, we touch into the radical permission it takes to be fully human and to rest into identities that have often been misunderstood or pathologized.We explore the relief, grief, and even terror that can arise with late-in-life neurodivergent identification—and the profound sense of liberation that can come with finally having language for who we are. Nyck shares what it means to honor authenticity beneath masking, to unpack internalized ableism, and to reconnect with innate wisdom that has always been there, waiting to be trusted.Our conversation also weaves in the intersections of privilege and oppression, the deep longing for belonging, and the all-too-common question: “Am I ___ enough?” Together, we name how neurodivergent folks often carry both tremendous courage and tremendous vulnerability as they navigate authenticity, safety, and connection in a neurotypical-dominant world.You'll also hear about Nyck's pioneering model of Neurodivergent Somatics, his international counselor education programs, and his forthcoming book with Norton Professional Books, Neurodivergent Somatics and Therapy: an anti-oppressive model for whole person care (March 2026).This is a conversation filled with tenderness, truth, and courage – an invitation to see neurodivergence not as something broken or deficient, but as whole, wise, and worthy.About NyckNyck Walsh (he/they) brings a whole person, anti-oppressive, intersectional somatic lens to working with Autistic and KCS/VAST (more affirming language for “ADHD”) folks.

Professor AG talks about the “spirit of addiction” and expands it beyond substances. She explains that addiction can be anything we use to avoid being present, like social media, noise, caffeine, or even other people's validation. She shares how patterns in our lives are signals for deeper awareness and healing, and how our bodies only bring things up when we're ready. The episode is an invitation to get curious (not judgmental) about your habits, reconnect with your intuition, and tune out the noise so you can come back to a more grounded, aligned version of yourself.MY APP IS HERE!!Daily somatic classes to regulate your nervous system.  Start your FREE trial today.Links from this episode -Free people barrel jeans-If you're interested in hiring a virtual assistant, click the link HERE to book a call with the recruiting company.

Let's talk about something a little controversial today… the forces of evil.

Dr. Esme Dark joins Kyle Buller for a conversation on psychedelic therapy, somatic psychotherapy, and shadow work. Based in Australia, Dark is a clinical psychologist, somatic psychotherapist, and psychedelic therapist. She shares her perspective on Australia's authorized prescriber model, the role of psychotherapy in psychedelic care, and what it means to work with the body before, during, and after a psychedelic experience. The discussion stays practical. Dark draws on her work in research settings, including psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder at Monash University. She explains that Australia has not decriminalized psychedelics. Instead, psilocybin and MDMA can be prescribed in limited cases through a psychiatrist-led system. That distinction matters, especially as public discussion often moves faster than the actual clinical infrastructure. Kyle and Dark also explore what happens in the therapy room. They talk about nervous system activation, body-based awareness, co-therapy, breathwork, and the challenge of knowing when to intervene and when to stay out of the way. The episode also turns toward creativity, self-expression, and the parts of the self that often remain split off or underdeveloped.

Following the intense shift of the Astrological New Year and the Spring Equinox, this week offers a rare, welcome calm in the energetics. As the dust settles from Pisces season, Mercury Rx, and eclipse season, the Aries fire is here to burn off the lingering fog and provide the clarity we need to move forward. In this episode, we dive deep into the relationship between your intuition and your physical form. We sometimes mistake a regulated nervous system for a numb one, but your body uses anxiety and anger as vital data points—messages urging you to change, act, and grow. This Week's Highlights: How to use this week's energy to allow new light in and let new desires show up. Somatics vs. The Brain: Our brain crafts false narratives of safety while our body holds the fastest wisdom. Saturn Cazimi (March 25th): A powerful power wash and reset for Saturn as it enters Aries.

In this grounded and deeply informed conversation, Will traces the history of the somatic field — from Thomas Hanna's coining of the term through the human potential movement at Esalen to Peter Levine's groundbreaking work in stress physiology — and makes a compelling case for why the body is not a machine to be programmed, but a living process to be inhabited. We explore why catharsis without capacity is dangerous, why the coaching industry is operating with an incomplete map, and why the fawn response makes “only go as far as your body says” almost useless in group settings. Will also shares his own journey — from surviving group home trauma as a teenager to declaring a mission to end trauma at a species level. If you've ever sensed that the healing world is missing something fundamental, this conversation will show you what it is.Will Rezin is a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and the founder of Trauma and Somatics, a global training organization that has trained over 500 practitioners across 28 countries in the art and science of trauma recovery.Time Stamps(00:00) Plant Medicine Reality Check(00:44) DNA Surprise(03:14) Meet Will Rezin(09:06) Will's Origin Story(11:53) Trauma and Mythic Meaning(25:04) What Somatics Really Means(34:42) We Are Bodied(41:21) The Great Paradox(50:46) Psycho Cybernetics and Belief(59:51) Somatic Rigidity and Aging(01:02:50) Stress Capacity and Vitality(01:09:14) Trauma Informed Facilitation(01:13:09) Coaching Industry Gaps(01:19:35) Resilience Over Protection(01:33:18) Knowledge Versus Embodiment(01:39:21) Mission to End TraumaGuest Linkshttps://www.traumaandsomatics.com/https://www.instagram.com/traumaandsomatics/https://www.instagram.com/willrezin/Free meditation and journal from WillConnect with UsTake the Real AF Test NowJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the TruthAccess all our links

Brigette opens up about the moment her world shifted from a high-achieving career to suddenly losing her identity, going through legal battles, emotional shutdown, and survival mode. She shares how kinesiology, bodywork, somatic release, and deep self-inquiry helped her rebuild her sense of self from the inside out.

After traumatic events or periods of elevated stress, the body may continue to hold onto its protective responses. Thus, even after a painful or difficult event has ended, we may continue to feel elevated heart rate or nervous system, a sense of high alert, or a persistent thought that something bad will happen. By resetting our stress response, we cultivate the release of old injuries and old stress responses, which in turn helps to cultivate a natural sleep cycle. In today's meditation, we reset our stress response. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon.

Anxiety, burnout, grief, stress, trauma, anger, frustration ... our thoughts and emotions are typically based on past or future experiences. However, we carry emotional and mental stress through the present, within our bodies. Physical manifestations of such stress may include tension, nausea, chronic pain, stiffness, and more. In today's meditation, we gather our thoughts and emotions to the present moment, and allow release within the body. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon.

Unlocking Emotional Freedom with April AdamsKelle Sparta hosts Spirit Sherpa with guest April Adams, an emotional health consultant who helps people—especially women who have done extensive conscious self-work—resolve persistent kneejerk reactions, negative thought loops, resentment, and somatic stress responses by using brief targeted interventions aimed at convincing the subconscious it is safe. They discuss why conscious logic alone doesn't stop emotional reactions, the need to trust practitioners, and how these methods can reduce “whack-a-mole” nervous system management.

Historically, trauma research has been done primarily on men, and then applied to women's bodies as if it's going to work in the same way. But as our guest today, Somatic Emotional Processing facilitator Veronica Rottman, shares, women currently suffer from twice the rate of anxiety and depression, make up 80% of the population with autoimmune disease and are much more likely to experience burnout. Veronica is the founder of Soma School and has devoted over 40,000 hours over the past seventeen years to trauma resolution. In the conversation today she explores the female nervous systems; including how women and those socialised as female experience trauma differently inside a patriarchal culture, why the female nervous system is more prone to the freeze response and and why it's important to think carefully about how we use the term ‘regulation' when it comes to trauma resolution and our nervous systems. Veronica also has her own personal trauma healing journey from complex post-traumatic stress and in her earlier life, she experienced PMDD, menstrual pain and other symptoms, which she describes as her body revolting against the patriarchy. After practicing menstrual cycle awareness for many years, she now no longer has pelvic pain and today she shares how the practice has helped her to have a more embodied relationship to her pelvis, and to understand her cycle through sensations. We explore:The fact that Veronica hasn't encountered a woman or person experiencing PMDD who doesn't have a history of trauma whether it's more subtle, low-level and chronic, or more extreme experiences. Why somatics and wellness need to be less focused on regulation for women, and more about being with and softening into what's happening in our cyclical bodies. The role of oxytocin in the trauma response, why women experience trauma relationally, and the importance of cuddle puddles. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this episode of Making Change With Your Money, host Laura Rotter sits down with Allie Brooke to explore the profound intersection of internal worth and external wealth. Allie shares her personal "Homecoming" story,a journey of breaking the mold of a "low-maintenance" life to reclaim a trajectory of unapologetic expansion. Together, they dive into the somatic reality of money. How our nervous systems respond to abundance, the "Achievement Amnesia" that keeps us feeling broke even when we're successful, and why healing your view of money is the ultimate catalyst for building a life that feels as good as it looks. What We Discuss in This Episode:The Pivot Point: Allie's personal story of the mindset shift that fundamentally altered the direction of her career and life.Healing the "Money Wound": Moving past the belief that we must shrink to be safe or stay "humble" to be worthy.Money as Fuel for Evolution: How to view financial resources not as a source of anxiety, but as a tool for personal and collective impact.The Somatics of Success: Why your body needs to feel "safe" with money before your bank account can reflect your true value.Designing the Next Chapter: Practical steps for reorienting your life around self-trust rather than a "borrowed map" of what success should look like.How To Connect w| LauraWebsitePodcast The Growth METHOD.

Helen Malinowski is a licensed clinical social worker who transformed her own near-burnout into a thriving seven-figure group practice and now helps established trauma therapists do the same. After discovering Somatic Experiencing in 2019, she built Beacon of Hope Counseling from a solo practice to 27 clinicians, with only two departures in five years—exceptional retention that proves her sustainable practice model works.As founder of the Catalyst Collective, Helen creates a transformational six-month cohort experience combining strategic business guidance with somatic practices. Her mission is to help practitioners build careers that sustain them for decades, not just years.What if your body had a say in your business?Check this out!Show Links:Somatic Integration Institute Free Gift: https://www.somaticintegrationinstitute.org//business-ownershipFree Burnout Assessment: https://www.somaticintegrationinstitute.org/burnout-assessmentSomatic Integration Institure Website: https://www.somaticintegrationinstitute.org/Somatic Integration Institue on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/somaticinformedtherapies/Book a call with Michelle: https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cGJoin our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscalingLooking to scale your business?

If you've ever felt like you know stress is impacting your health (but don't actually know what to do about it) this episode is for you.In this conversation, I'm joined by somatic practitioner, fitness coach, and functional nutrition specialist Joelle Reyes to unpack what somatics actually is, how stress lives in the body, and why “just managing stress better” often isn't enough.We dive into the nervous system from a physiology-first perspective, explaining why chronic stress keeps so many women stuck in symptoms like bloating, fatigue, anxiety, hormonal disruption, and stalled progress even when nutrition and training look solid on paper.This episode bridges the gap between what you intellectually understand about stress and what your body is actually experiencing, and explains how learning to close the stress loop can make everything feel easier — from digestion and recovery to emotional regulation and training results.In this episode, we cover:What somatics actually is (and what it's not)The difference between top-down (mind-based) and bottom-up (body-based) stress regulationWhy your body doesn't know the difference between work stress and physical dangerWhat it means to “close the stress loop” and why most people never doHow chronic fight-or-flight impacts digestion, hormones, recovery, and metabolismWhy you can't think your way out of nervous system dysregulationHow strength training, rest periods, and awareness can become somatic toolsPractical ways to start reconnecting with your body without doing anything extreme or uncomfortableWhy feeling your emotions isn't the same as being overwhelmed by themConnect with Joelle:Instagram: @joellereyesBeyond the Weights Coaching: @beyondtheweightscoachingPodcast: The Beyond the Weights Podcast

In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Jennifer Holland for a deeply grounded conversation about what it means to come home to yourself—through the body.Jennifer shares how her life unfolded in “two large chapters,” including growing up LDS, navigating anxiety, and untangling the places where external authority and internal knowing got crossed. Together, they explore somatic wisdom, nervous system trust, relational safety, and what it looks like to create containers where the body can finally exhale.If you've ever felt stuck in your head, unsure who to trust (including yourself), or curious about embodiment as a path to healing—this episode offers a compassionate, practical doorway inward.Timestamps:[00:01:00] Welcoming Jennifer Holland[00:01:20] Scott: coming in “open” and letting the conversation unfold[00:02:00] Jennifer: “two different large chapters” + growing up LDS[00:02:36] Anxiety as a formative thread in childhood/young adulthood[00:04:30] “Mind, Body, Spirit” class + early expansion beyond the script[00:06:39] Divorce + faith questioning + beginning to re-orient inward[00:10:06] Discernment: “Do I trust these people?” (authority vs inner knowing)[00:16:27] When intuition gets twisted (and what it costs)[00:19:32] The body path: yoga, breathwork, sensual touch, massage[00:31:29] Trust + boundaries: holding containers that let people soften[00:36:56] Nervous system relaxation + why safety changes everything[00:37:06] Deep safety without sex “on the table” (deconditioning performance)[00:45:45] Jennifer: slow trust + letting time reveal what's true[00:54:15] “What keeps your breath breathing?” (presence and the unseen support)[00:55:00] Breath as steady baseline (even when life isn't)[00:58:25] Retreat/container rhythm: arriving, stillness, breath, connection[01:09:34] Closing reflections + gratitudeNotable Quotes:“I said, you know, we like to come into these podcasts pretty open and just allowing it to unfold as it unfolds.” — Scott Wright [00:01:20]“I feel like my life has two different large chapters.” — Jennifer Holland [00:02:00]“And I was riddled with anxiety most of my childhood and teenhood and young adulthood.” — Jennifer Holland [00:02:36]“I did take a class called Mind, Body, Spirit, though, that really expanded my mind.” — Jennifer Holland [00:04:30]“I was going through my first divorce, so I was just like, I don't know about the church…” — Jennifer Holland [00:06:39]“Even just like, do I trust these people… and should I be following them?” — Jennifer Holland [00:10:06]“It was starting to kill me essentially, started to twist my intuition up.” — Jennifer Holland [00:16:27]“So what happens when we can attune our nervous systems to deep safety without sex even being on the table.” — Jennifer Holland [00:37:06]“So my, my nervous system takes a really long time to actually trust.” — Jennifer Holland [00:45:45]“What keeps your breath breathing?” — Jennifer Holland [00:54:15]“Your breath has been breathing at the exact same rhythm.” — Jennifer Holland [00:55:00]Relevant Links:www.drippractice.comwww.instagram.com/drippracticewww.instagram.com/strongandsultryor email her directly at Jen@strongandsultry.comSubscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Eva Hooft. Eva has an interesting story of being diagnosed with a number of childhood ailments that persisted into adulthood. After following a career in modeling she began to become disillusioned by her diagnoses and began a search into more holistic and integrative therapies. We spoke about her journey and a number of topics including her background, yoga, somatics, liver detoxification, mineral balancing, functional medicine, the power of the mind and beliefs, and much more. It was a really interesting conversation and I think her knowledge from her own discoveries, many interests, and what she has found working with others really shines.

The negative emotions that can accompany motherhood take many women by surprise. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush and Jess Althoff talk about how highly sensitive women can manage the overwhelm. “We are breathing all the time, but most of us aren't breathing correctly, and most of us aren't using our breath in ways that are beneficial to us.”  — Jess AlthoffExhaustion. Frustration. Overwhelm. Self-doubt. Anxiety. Guilt. Irritability. Even rage. No matter how much you wanted to be a mother, you may have been blindsided by the negative emotions that nobody warned you about. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul guide for highly sensitive women, welcomes Jess Althoff, author of the blog “Raising Slow,” for a talk about postpartum anxiety and rage, and the importance of self-care techniques like meditation and breathwork in managing mental health. They also share their own experiences, as well as practical tips and techniques that can help mothers and other highly sensitive women get in touch with their bodies, reduce irritability, You can find the full show notes and resources here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

On this episode of After Reality, I'm diving into one of my favorite topics as a recovering people-pleaser: the nervous system. I'm joined by somatic practitioner Kallie Klug (aka Kallie Somatics), host of the Your Own Medicine podcast, who breaks down what really happens in our bodies when we shift into fight, flight, freeze… and the response almost no one talks about: fawn.If you've ever apologized to keep the peace, said “yes” when you meant absolutely not, or shut down in conflict just to survive the moment, you might actually be fawning — a biological survival strategy wired for protection, not politeness. Kallie explains how fawning differs from everyday people-pleasing, how these patterns get formed, and why “just speak up!” doesn't stick when your body doesn't feel safe.We talk nervous system triggers, how trauma shapes behavior, and why so many of us feel tired, resentful, and burned out from being “good” all the time. Kallie also shares practical somatic tools for boundary-setting (especially during the holidays) and we get into her upcoming book, Tired of Being "Good": A nervous system map for reinhibiting your body after a lifetime of fawning.IG: @kali.somaticsYour Own Medicine Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-own-medicine-podcast/id1584877807 Hosted on Acast.

Colin is our fourth and final small group facilitator for the Embodied Masculinity program starting January 6th 2026. His journey to somatics, and Luis, started with a nail gun, and the pain resulting from repetitive use. He realized he was holding tension around accuracy in physical labor, and relationally around important topics. Somatics helped show him how to hold his body through work and relationships in a way that was easeful, not painful.Luis invites Colin to share what he loves about being a facilitator in the Embodied Masculinity slow group. Colin relishes the opportunity to witness men testing the container of the group, sharing what is vulnerable and often long hidden. These shares resonate with others and a tenderness in the group emerges. If you have questions for Colin about his one on one coaching work, or about the Embodied Masculinity Slow Group you can reach out to him at https://colinsafranek.com/.You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied Masculinity group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-mens-group You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Blue Spirit Costa Rica here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/blue-spirit You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/weight-and-trauma----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?
