This week we are blessed with the brilliant and beautiful mind of Dr. Liz Letchford.

In this episode Emily and Liz discuss the link between our emotional health and our physiology, a more gentle approach toward releasing stored trauma, the importance of fully committing to our desires, and the idea that our pain actually holds the most potential for our liberation.

Trained in Western Medicine as an EMT and Certified Athletic Trainer, Liz’s journey took an interesting turn when she had a spontaneous spiritual awakening leading her to a more holistic and integrated understanding of how our emotional health is directly linked to our physiology.

Over the past few years Liz has been on a wild journey of exploring various emotional release techniques, and she is currently pioneering the notion that if we move toward our pain, and we open up a dialogue with it, we begin to heal and unlock our greatest expansion.

Sit back as we dive into the topics of pleasure, pain, kink and surrender.
