#321: Have you been living from the neck up?

Disembodiment doesn't happen by accident. Many of us learned early that being fully present in our bodies wasn't safe. And in a world that rewards overthinking and overfunctioning, checking out of your body can feel like the only way to survive.

In this week's episode, I dive into the concept of embodiment - what it really means beyond the wellness buzzword, and why it's the missing piece in your personal growth journey.

#320: Have you noticed how "wellness" has become more about expensive supplements and exclusive retreats than actual healing?

It's time we had an honest conversation about how the wellness industry has been hijacked by capitalism and privilege, leaving behind the very people who need healing most.

In this week's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the wellness industrial complex and offering a different vision - one that's rooted in accessibility, community care, and genuine healing.

#319: Have you ever felt like you're constantly trying to get everything "right"?

Like you're stuck in an endless cycle of seeking validation from others, while your own voice gets smaller and smaller?

Today, I want to share a powerful story that might feel familiar.

Dr. Ashley Albers, a physician who went through my Anchored program, once couldn't even speak during coaching sessions. Her body's message was clear: "We are not safe."

But through somatic work and dedicated practice, she transformed that relationship with herself and her body, and she’s telling us about it in this week’s episode.

#312: Do you ever catch yourself labeling feelings like anger or sadness as "bad" or "negative"?

In a world obsessed with toxic positivity, it's easy to internalize the message that certain emotions are unacceptable. But the truth is, emotions are not moral - they're messages from our bodies that deserve to be heard.

In this week’s episode, I explore the role of shame, cultural conditioning, and emotional outsourcing in making it hard to feel our feelings. Plus, I share a simple somatic practice to help you start reconnecting with your emotions in a gentle, compassionate way.
