In this episode, i had the ABSOLUTE pleasure and chills while speaking with Kallie Klug, a somatic psychology expert.

She dropped some knowledge and shared her insights on utilizing parts work to heal trauma and make decisions more intuitively.(BTW… Kallies Tiktok and IG are: Kallie.Somatics. Her content is really informative)

Kallie also discussed how through her work, she helps people access the different "parts" of themselves, allowing them to better understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

By doing so, you can start to work with yourself on past traumas and make decisions that align with their true selves.

I especially really loved how SELF sufficient the process is. ((It’s literally just you and your body and mind)))She also spoke about the importance of making new friends while avoiding people pleasing, highlighting the fact that it's possible to create genuine connections without sacrificing one's own needs and desires.

BONUS, you’re welcome: I shared how these techniques allowed me to trust in the birthing process and have a positive experience without an epidural

Overall, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in somatic psychology or looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Kallie's insights are both informative and inspiring, and i am grateful AF to have had her on the show.
