Relationship As Medicine

This is a behind-the-scenes follow-up conversation to the Nourish Experience that Tamsin Crimmens and I offered last month. We were so fired up about the themes and concepts that we wanted to keep going. We cover topics such as: 

....and more! If you love the conversation and want to sign up for Nourish to be guided through a 2-hour somatic experience of this, it's available for you to sink into right now! https://shelby-leigh.thinkific.com/pages/nourish

Here is a little bit more about Tamsin:

Tamsin is a writer and mentor for (quietly) revolutionary coaches, healers and world-changers. She’s obsessed with helping best-kept-secrets who’d love to be more “industry famous” to discover the medicine in their message, feel safe enough to share it, and get paid for their ideas.

A rare mix of space holder, storyteller and entrepreneur, she helps women who are tired of playing small to activate their Inner Creatrix (that all-powerful creative energy that makes magical messaging) so they can freak their audience out and have them saying “How are you inside my head!!?”

As a former journalist with bylines in ELLE, Stylist, Grazia, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Sunday Times Style mag, she’s written about it all and interviewed everyone from Caitlin Moran to Stella McCartney.

Along a journey that’s taken in everything from political communications and women’s magazines to the world of yoga, womb and somatic healing, Tamsin follows the philosophy of 'Body First, Mind Second’, to support her clients to access their deepest truth and express it in a way that builds sustainable success.

In sitting down with Stephanie Somatics, we dive into how our body is more than just a vehicle that transports us from place to place - it's an interpreter for life. Coming home to the body is a practice that we can practice for the rest of our lives. In this episode we look at how we move from looking for what's wrong and how to fix it to a more empowered and connected approach to healing, we see what's possible in terms of deep trauma healing for ourselves and those we work with.  We talk about pacing, creating the therapeutic container together with our clients, permission to practice embodied and curious relationships and put aside assumptions, so that sitting in a regulated nervous system becomes a way of living instead of a concept in our minds. We also laugh and rant about our views on building trust... you might be surprised at what you hear!  

About Stephanie

She has a MA in Clinical and Mental Health: Somatic Psychology and blends this with her own intuition and flavor to help guide clients towards themselves and healing.

Teaching how to find safety in the body, anxiety management, and emotional validation, Stephanie facilitates with the belief that we follow your body’s lead.Through her own journey of healing, she found great power in listening and learning from the body about how to better connect and deepen our relationship to self. Her goal is to walk alongside her clients, helping them discover their own bodies' natural wisdom and come home to themselves.

In this Solo episode, I talk about the main thing I see that gets missed MOST as care providers - coaches, therapists, doctors, facilitators.  It takes a lot to be able to catch these precious, important moments with clients.  Especially clients who have insecure attachment and past trauma.  When we can get comfortable and regulated enough in ourselves to stay with our clients through these cycles of everything from challenges to lightness, we create a safety and intimacy and empowerment that goes beyond that which most practitioners are offering.

Have a listen and let me know how it lands for you! I’m really excited about this new podcast and want to keep shaping it around what’s supportive and engaging for YOU.💙

In this Solo episode, I get up on my soapbox around quitting the hustle, the comparing and the push as care providers and entrepreneurs growing businesses. So many of my clients are often stunned by the power of slowing down and simplifying and what happens in their businesses and relationship to their businesses when they can work with themselves to allow more space and rest. When we feel safe enough to let the urgency go (or go into the background), there's an immense amount of space to listen, to be inspired, to generate income, to welcome dream clients, to hold money... and more. While often not easy at first because it goes against so much conditioning and survival responses - it is deep medicine for the soul of any growing business.
