What is creative leadership? It could mean leadership that's distributed and collaborative, rather than top-down and authoritarian. It could mean leadership that's flexible enough to continually reinvent its structures and approaches to meet emerging circumstances. It could mean leadership that views diversity and difference as opportunities for learning, growth, and creative synergy rather than as problems to be managed. It could be leadership that actively works toward envisioning and manifesting more positive futures. Ideally, creative leadership is all of these things. * In this episode CIIS faculty Dr. Alfonso Montuori and Dr. Nick Walker explore how somatic practices can help us to cultivate the psychological capacities associated with effective creative leadership. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on April 29th 2026.

Episode Description What if the nervous system practices you've been taught weren't actually created with women of color—and our lived experiences—in mind? In this episode, Dielle Charon sits down with somatics practitioner Brenda Lomeli for a conversation about decolonizing somatics and reconnecting with the wisdom of your body. Brenda explains what somatics actually means, why nervous system work can look different for people from marginalized identities, and how many popular healing practices have been removed from the cultural and ancestral contexts they originated from. They also explore what this means for entrepreneurship: how to support your body while still selling, showing up, making money, and taking action toward your goals. From building safety without shutting down your business to using your body's wisdom as a coach, this conversation offers a different way to think about nervous system healing—one rooted in relationship, context, ancestral resilience, and collective liberation. About Brenda Lomeli Brenda Lomeli is a first-generation Mexican-American decolonized somatics coach. For over 10 years, she has supported 500+ women in reclaiming their bodies — first through TL10, and now through Reclaiming the Body™ Decolonized Somatic Certification. She is a Master Certified Life Coach, Advanced Feminist Coach, and practitioner in nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and ancestral healing. She holds degrees in Music Therapy and a Master's in Occupational Therapy — and is a confirmed descendant of Mesoamerican healers, herbalists, and curanderas.

Lulu Elmes returns to Healing Our Sight to clarify the differences between Somatics, Somatic Yoga, and traditional yoga.Lulu explains how Hanna Somatics influenced the development of Somatic Yoga, why the practice emphasizes slow, conscious movement rather than stretching, and how awareness, breathing, and rest help the brain and body integrate change.We also bring the conversation back to vision, exploring how releasing tension and improving coordination through the neck, shoulders, and torso may influence the way we use our eyes.This follow-up conversation offers a deeper understanding of the principles behind the Somatic Yoga practice and why slowing down and sensing what is happening in the body can be such an important part of the process.Connect with Lulu ElmesIf you'd like to learn more about Lulu's work or connect with her directly:

Have you ever wondered why you overthink, stay busy, struggle to switch off, or feel emotionally exhausted—even when life seems to be going well?What if these aren't personality traits at all?What if they're learned survival patterns?In this episode of The Total Somatics Show, Heidi Hadley explores how our early life experiences shape the way our nervous system responds to the world around us. Through a Total Somatics lens, you'll discover how emotionally unpredictable environments can teach us to survive rather than truly connect—with ourselves, our bodies and those around us.This isn't about blaming parents or caregivers. Most people do the very best they can with what they know. Instead, this episode is about developing awareness, understanding your body's protective responses, and recognising that the patterns you learned can also be changed.In this episode you'll discover: Why many of our stress responses begin long before adulthood.  How emotionally dysregulated environments influence the developing nervous system.  The difference between surviving and truly feeling safe.  Why you may find yourself constantly busy, people-pleasing or always "pushing through."  How stress can show up as muscle tension, posture changes, shallow breathing and persistent fatigue.  Why your body often reacts before your mind has time to think.  How chronic survival patterns can influence anxiety, relationships, confidence, work and everyday life.  Why awareness is the first step towards lasting change. You'll also learn why many of the habits we judge ourselves for were once intelligent survival strategies—and why your body deserves compassion, not criticism.Questions to reflect onAs you listen, take a moment to ask yourself: What does my body do first when I feel stressed?  Do my shoulders rise?  Does my jaw tighten?  Do I hold my breath?  Do I keep pushing through?  Or do I quietly pull away?  Am I living in my head more than I'm living in my body? These small moments of awareness are often where meaningful change begins.Through a Total Somatics lensOne of the key messages in this episode is that your nervous system isn't broken.It adapted.Many of the patterns that now leave you feeling anxious, disconnected or exhausted were once your body's way of helping you navigate uncertainty.The wonderful news is that the brain and body remain adaptable throughout life. Through neuroplasticity and greater body awareness, it's possible to update old patterns and create new ways of responding that feel calmer, more connected and more resilient.We'd love to hear from youThe Total Somatics Show is a community, and we'd love your input.Send us: Your questions  Your life experiences  Your challenges  Your stories  Future topics you'd like covered

Welcome to the very first episode of The Total Somatics Show.Have you ever wondered why certain people, situations or even news headlines can affect you so deeply?Why do some people seem calm on the outside, yet feel constantly on edge within?And what if the way you respond today isn't really about today at all?In this opening episode, Heidi explores one of the most important concepts in Total Somatics: the difference between living and surviving.Through a Total Somatics lens, you'll discover how your nervous system, posture, breathing, muscle tension and everyday behaviours may all be reflecting learned survival patterns that began years—even decades—ago.This isn't about blame. It's about understanding.When we understand our patterns, we can begin to change them.In this episode, you'll discover:Why many people live from survival mode without realising it.How emotionally unpredictable environments can shape the nervous system.The connection between stress, muscle tension, posture and breathing.Why you may spend more time in your head than connected to your body.How high-functioning anxiety, people-pleasing, overworking or withdrawing can all be different expressions of the same underlying survival response.Why awareness is the first step towards meaningful and lasting change.How neuroplasticity gives us hope that learned patterns can be updated.Heidi also shares personal reflections about resilience, life experiences and the lessons that have shaped both her clinical practice and her outlook on life.Throughout this podcast, you'll hear practical insights drawn from more than 25 years of clinical experience, combined with conversations around emotional intelligence, relationships, business, resilience, mindset and the human experience—all explored through a Total Somatics perspective.A question to reflect onWhat does your body do first when you feel stressed?Do your shoulders rise?Does your jaw tighten?Do you hold your breath?Do you keep pushing through... or quietly pull away?Sometimes our body tells us the truth long before our mind catches up.Join the conversationThe Total Somatics Show is something we're building together.I'd love to hear:Your questionsYour life lessonsYour challengesYour storiesTopics you'd love explored on future episodes

This is a guided somatic session.Not a concept. Not a teaching. A practice — for your nervous system.When the freeze response hits, your thinking brain goes offline. Words don't help. Understanding doesn't help. What helps is giving the body a different signal. Today's episode guides you through a somatic practice designed to thaw the freeze response in real time.Drawing on the principles of Somatic Experiencing and polyvagal theory, this session works directly with your body's capacity to shift from shutdown to regulation — without forcing, without effort, without "trying to calm down."It's a practice you can return to whenever pressure overwhelms your ability to think clearly.Each time you do it, the pathway gets stronger.If you want to explore a deeper experience with Somatics, then you can download the free 3 Day Reset to transform your relationship with your nervous system.Download it here. And if you noticed something today — something in the body, something that shifted — I'd love to hear about it. Not the insight. The sensation. You can leave a comment below. No names needed. And remember, you don't have to chase anything. You just have to let your body know it's already here. #SomaticFrequency #ThawingTheFreeze #SomaticPractice #NervousSystemRegulation #FreezeResponse

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when achievement, control, and constant motion finally break down? In this deeply reflective episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with former professional table tennis player and performance coach Jure Koscak to explore chronic pain, nervous system regulation, emotional maturity, and the hidden cost of living in survival mode.Raised in Slovenia and now living in Punta Cana, Jure shares how years of overtraining, relentless pressure, and internal tension eventually led to severe chronic pain and a complete rethinking of life. Through clinical somatics, breathwork, slowing down, and self-awareness, he discovered a new path centered on presence instead of performance.This conversation dives into subconscious patterns, stress, trauma, healing, relationships, and why many high performers struggle to relax even after reaching success. Jure also explains how modern life disconnects us from our bodies — and why slowing down may be the key to clarity, health, and emotional freedom.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your own head, or constantly chasing the next outcome, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, pressure, and what it means to truly live.

n this episode of The Criminologist Podcast, host Joseph Arvidson welcomes Caroline Georgiou for a conversation unlike any we have had on the show before. Caroline is a trauma-trained counsellor, somatic movement therapist, clinical supervisor, and one of the world's leading innerdance facilitators and trainers. Her work explores the relationship between sound, trauma, the nervous system, emotional regulation, identity, inner awareness, and human transformation — including within prison settings. Together, Joe and Caroline explore what happens when rehabilitation moves beneath words. In corrections, probation, parole, and treatment, so much of the work is built around conversation: interviews, assessments, groups, case plans, accountability, motivation, and behavior change. But Caroline invites us to consider the role of the body, the central nervous system, sound, somatic awareness, safety, connection, dysregulation, co-regulation, and identity in the change process. The conversation also connects with themes familiar to those interested in trauma-informed practice and the TIDES Supervision Model, including polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, the importance of feeling safe and connected, and the role of identity in meaningful change. Caroline discusses how sound and music affect the body, mood, emotion, and behavior — and how this knowledge has long been used in other parts of society, from film directors shaping emotional experience to casinos creating environments that influence attention and behavior. That raises an important question for criminal justice professionals: if sound can be used to heighten emotion or shape behavior, how might it also be used ethically and intentionally to support reflection, regulation, healing, and rehabilitation? Joe and Caroline also discuss her work bringing sound-led transformation into prison settings, her vision for prison radio and sound-based wellbeing programs, and the intriguing possibility of developing a custom TIDES soundscape. Listeners will also hear selected samples from Caroline's free soundscape, available through her website, The Sound of Dreams. Learn more about Caroline Georgiou and access her resources here: https://www.thesoundofdreams.com/ This episode invites us to consider a powerful question: What if rehabilitation is not only about the conversations we have, but also about the environments we create?

 This type of exercise is brilliant because it doesn't force the muscles to relax, but rather creates the conditions for the nervous system to let go of chronic tension on its own. This is a fundamental principle of many bodywork modalities like the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Somatics.In the beginning you need maybe 10 to 15 minutes to do this exercise, later you can do it in 5 minutes.The Exercise: A Step-by-Step GuideWhat you'll need: A comfortable space on the floor with a mat or carpet, and a small pillow or towel (optional, for under your head).Step 1: The Setup (The "Constructive Rest" Position)Lie on your back on the floor.Place a small pillow or folded towel under your head if needed, so your neck is comfortable and your chin is slightly tucked, not jutting up.Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.Position your feet so they are hip-width apart or shoulder-width, parallel to each other.Adjust your feet so they are far enough away from your buttocks that your knees are pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Your thighs and calves should form roughly a 90-degree angle.Let your arms rest comfortably at your sides, palms down or up, whatever feels natural.Step 2: The Active Release (Letting the Knees "Talk")Close your eyes and bring your attention to your pelvis and lower back. Take a few deep, calming breaths.Now, begin to very slowly and gently allow your knees to fall or drop towards each other. Don't use your strong outer thigh muscles to force them. Instead, imagine you are just allowing them to go inward, releasing the muscles that would normally hold them apart.Let them fall only as far as they want to. You might feel a slight shaking or tremor—this is a great sign! It means muscles are starting to unlock.Then, just as slowly and patiently, allow your knees to drift back apart to their starting position. Again, don't force them. Imagine they are floating open on their own.This is the key: The movement should be initiated by a feeling of release, not muscular effort. You are basically asking the question: "What happens if I stop holding my legs apart?" and then "What happens if I stop holding them together?"Repeat this gentle, rocking motion. As you continue, you might notice that the movement starts to feel more rhythmic and autonomous. The knees may start to knock together and fall apart by themselves, as you described.Step 3: The "Somatic" Response (Letting the Body Take Over)After several minutes of this patient, gentle rocking, you may begin to feel a new sensation. The movement may become less about your knees and more about your lower back and pelvis.You might feel your lower back gently pressing into the floor and then releasing. You might feel your pelvic floor muscles subtly contracting and relaxing. Your stomach muscles may start to quiver or engage involuntarily.This is the "somatic" response. Your brain is reconnecting with chronically tight muscles and teaching them how to let go. The body is now moving by itself, unwinding the deep-seated tension patterns.Simply observe this process. Don't try to control it or make it bigger. Just be a curious witness to the gentle, spontaneous movements of your own body.Why This Exercise Is So Effective (The Science of Release)It Targets the Psoas Muscle: The psoas (so-as) is a deep core muscle that connects your spine to your legs. It is the body's primary postural muscle and is intimately connected to our fight-or-flight response. When we are stressed, anxious, or have experienced trauma, the psoas chronically tightens, shortening and pulling on the lower back. This exercise puts the psoas in a position where it can finally be "asked" to lengthen and release.It Engages the Parasympathetic Nervous System: The constructive rest position itself is calming. By adding this gentle, non-demanding movement, you are signaling to your nervous system that it is safe to let go of the protective bracing patterns held in the pelvis and lower back.It's a Form of Pandiculation: This is a fancy word for the natural way that cats and dogs stretch. A pandiculation involves three steps: 1) consciously contracting a muscle, 2) slowly and consciously releasing it, and 3) relaxing completely. This exercise does this by allowing the muscles to contract (as the knees fall together and the back engages) and then slowly release (as the knees drift apart). This neurological process is the most effective way to reset a muscle's resting length and erase chronic tension. It's a powerful tool for self-care. Your patience and gentle approach are the true secrets to its success.My Video:  How to release your tension in the lower back and pelvic area? https://youtu.be/HtnG68-MFA8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-release-your-tension-in-the-lower-back-and-pelvic-area.mp3

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.

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.

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. Gallbladder removal and uterus removal are common surgeries, yet many people notice real shifts afterward and they're left trying to understand what changed and why.In Part 1 of this two‑episode series, I break down what the gallbladder and uterus actually do, how to keep them healthy, what can shift after removal, and how to support your wellness with clarity instead of confusion.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy):• what the gallbladder does: bile timing, fat digestion, fat‑soluble vitamins• why gallbladders fail: rapid weight loss, low‑fat dieting, estrogen shifts, insulin resistance, genetics, GLP‑1 meds (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)• common symptoms after gallbladder removal: bloating, diarrhea, urgency, fat intolerance• microbiome changes and nutrient absorption• myths people hear after surgery• practical supports: bitter greens, hydration, magnesium, digestive enzymes with lipase + ox bileUterus Removal (Hysterectomy):• why the uterus is far more than a reproductive organ• pelvic nerves, ovarian blood flow, libido inputs• hormone shifts after uterus removal• progesterone myths, estrogen dominance, painful periods that deserve investigation• emotional and somatic changes some women experience after hysterectomy• how to advocate for hormone testing, gut support, and nervous system regulationIf you've already had gallbladder removal or uterus removal, this episode gives you language, options, and a grounded understanding of what your body may need moving forward.Next week in Part 2: Appendix and Tonsils - what they do, why they matter, and what can shift when they're gone.If this episode helps you, subsJoin here:  Sandy K Inner Circle Join me here:  Sandy K Inner CircleSupport the showJoin The Sandy K Inner Circle -- my private women-only subscription community where we go deeper than the podcast ever could.Every month you get:A live Q&A with Sandy on ZoomAn exclusive podcast episode nobody else hearsA practical curated downloadAccess to our private women-only Facebook community for wide open discussions on all topicsNo agendas.

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

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.

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.

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. It's time for a clean slate regarding personal responsibility, self-discipline, and long-term planning. Mercury Post-Shadow: Navigating the final two weeks of confusion and why the "nuggets" of truth appearing now are essential for your Spring and Summer seasons. Venus in Taurus: A sneak peek at the lovely, sensual, and financially stable energy arriving as Venus returns home next Monday. This Week's "To-Do" List: Move: Aim for 4x this week.

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

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.
