This episode is a very personal story from a workshop I attended 6 weeks ago... During the workshop, I had an experience that broke me open in profound ways that have changed my life for the better. *(Important note below)* And I'm definitely still integrating what happened, but at this point I've spent enough time in integration to feel excited to share the story with you.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: What I forgot to mention in the episode was that the experience was so strong for me, I had to spend the rest of that evening back at my AirB&B, going back and forth between laying down on the bed crying with emotional opening/release - and getting up to do intentional movement practice to feel everything fully and integrate. I didn't eat, I didn't distract myself with social media or tech... I just spent the evening & night solo - feeling, integrating and then went to sleep. It felt like the comedown of a profound psychedelic medicine journey... that's the best analogy I can come up with.

If you're someone who's interested in personal transformation, and different ways that can happen, I think you'll really enjoy this episode.

HAVE A QUESTION?
I'm open to any questions about anything I shared in this episode (please ask me in a comment on this video). This work is absolutely fascinating to me... and I'm into discussing it with people who are also interested in the world of somatics & transformation.

*NOTE: Sadly I dropped out of the Embodied Leadership Pathway program because hurricane Helene hit my home in Asheville during the first weekend of the training, and the recovery effort was too intense and all-consuming to do the needed coursework. It's a great program, and I'd like to re-enroll in the future when schedule permits!
