Today, Mickenzie and Lindsey  sit down with therapist and Onsite guide, Connie Lawrence, to talk about one of our absolute favorite topics – somatic therapy and embodiment. Together they explore the importance of coming into our bodies, learning how to recognize our feelings within ourselves, and how somatic movement and community can change our lives.

126 “Living Centered and Coming Back to Our Bodies” featuring Connie Lawrence, LISW-S PAT

So many of us go through life feeling out of touch with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We feel disconnected, overwhelmed, distracted, and uncertain of how to find the clarity, purpose, and direction we so deeply, so authentically, desire. The Living Centered Podcast in an invitation to another way of living.  

Every episode, we sit down with mental health experts, artists, and friends for a practical and honest conversation about how to pursue a more centered life—rediscovering, reclaiming, and rooting in who we truly are.

“Living Centered in Our Relationships” - Season Preview

Today, Onsite Lead clinician Carlos Martinez joins Mickenzie for an authentic and informative conversation about the ways unresolved painful past events can lead to unhealthy sexual addictions and coping patterns. We hope this conversation sheds light on this sometimes taboo topic and leaves you with resources and encouragement. Carlos provides expertise, empathy, and encouragement, whether you're struggling, are the partner of someone struggling, or are a mental health professional working in this space. Throughout this conversation, Mickenzie and Carlos also discuss Onsite's upcoming program for men struggling with sex addiction and problematic sexual behaviors, Healthy Sexuality and Intimacy - March 13-20 on our California Campus.   The Healthy Sexuality and Intimacy Program is a week-long workshop that offers a unique therapeutic experience for men who are coping with unresolved, painful past events through unhealthy sexual addiction and patterns by creating a safe space for healing. We guide and encourage you to move from a place of shame and isolation into greater intimacy and connection with yourself and others.

141 "What does it mean to live centered?" with Miles Adcox

As the saying goes, the only constant is change. Everywhere we look, transition is a fundamental and present part of our lives. According to author Bruce Feller, the average person goes through at least one big life transition every 12-18 months. If we’re not currently walking through a season of change, we’ve either just navigated one or are about to.   Today, author and Certified Personal and Executive Coach Brandi Wilson joins Mickenzie and Lindsey to chat all about navigating transition, starting again, and how to come out better than okay on the other side of a change you didn’t ask for or ever dream of. As Brandi shares in this interview, the life and family she spent 20 years building stopped on a dime, and through a difficult and heartbreaking process, Brandi picked up the pieces to recreate her life and now helps others find hope and healing on the other side of endings.   In this episode: 
4:48 – How Brandi’s life fell apart over night   14:18 – The importance of trusting your intuition in the midst of difficulty   18:23 – The messy middle of transition   21:48 – How to be better than okay in transition   27:23 – How to support loved ones through change and difficult circumstances   34:23 – Parenting after divorce and redefining family after trauma   41:15 – How Brandi knew it was time to do Onsite’s Living Centered Program  43:26 – Brandi's practice for living centered

140 "How do I navigate a transition I didn’t ask for?” with Brandi Wilson

Do you ever feel like you're running on fumes? No matter how much sleep you get, how many days off you take, or how often you "rest," you still feel exhausted. You're not alone.     Sixty-five percent of Americans say they rarely wake up feeling rested and energized.   Today's guest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and award-winning author of Sacred Rest, suggests the problem isn't that you're not resting but that you're not getting the right rest. Join Mickenzie and Hannah as they explore Dr. Saundra's findings around the seven types of rest and how addressing our individual rest deficits can lead to unlocking our greatest potential, better mental health, overcoming burnout, and more.  In this episode:  5:09 – How Dr. Saundra addressed her personal burnout   11:06 – The relationships between sleep and rest   16:46 – Dr. Saundra’s definition of rest   18:13 – The seven types of rest   23:09 – How to address our rest deficits   28:19 – Why we can’t rest   34:21 – How to celebrate other’s ability to rest   39:40 – Different ways to build rhythms to care for our rest deficits   48:30 – How Dr. Saundra gets seven types of rest
