Stephanie Scarminach aka Stephanie Somatics is an Intuitive Somatic Psychologist and Healer. What does that mean? She teaches her clients how to communicate with and through their bodies to heal, and find safety within their own physical form.  Steph doesn’t just want to heal people though, she wants to teach people how to heal themselves with a myriad of tools that she herself has mastered the use of through a lifetime of self-trial.

On this episode of the podcast we discuss:
- What somatic therapy is
- How it differs from other modalities of therapy
- What put Stephanie on her path to being a healer
- Psychedelic therapy
- What to do when you're having a panic attack
- And how to combat being a people pleaser!

Chelsea London Lloyd is an absolute dream queen. Comedian, actress, podcast host and producer - she is a woman of endless talents and seemingly, optimism. She has a gift for performing (as seen on ABC, HBO, and Buzzfeed) and for positivity, which makes her an excellent candidate to talk about death with a smile - as she does on her podcast Dying of Laughter, where she interviews comedians with a deceased parent or sibling, conversations inspired by Chelsea’s own experience of losing her dad to ALS. We talk about tending to friendships, redefining what it means to succeed, goals vs. intentions, the seventh sense of humor, and body hair removal - obviously.

Carolyn Barron is so much more than a healer, she's a life changer. Founder of Botanarchy, Carolyn practices traditional East Asian Medicine and Acupuncture on her patients at her Los Angeles based Acu-Temple. In this episode of the Budding Mind Podcast we download dozens of golden nuggets from Carolyn about the foundational principles of acupuncture, how it works, why alternative medicines are a foil to the patriarchal medical systems in place today, and what the cycles of nature have to teach us about our own internal systems.

And not only is Carolyn a physician, but a wildly gifted writer. Her bardic prose comes from her yearning to inspire people to understand, and return to relationship with their bodies through natural methodologies.
