Relationship As Medicine

Episode 29: Safer Space In Action Worldwide

I don't know if my heart could get any more full! This conversation just left me feeling grounded, clear, purposeful, inspired and EXCITED for the revolution that trauma informed care brings.

This episode is packed full of tips, information and embodied experiences and perspectives on trauma-informed care from 6 incredible humans from around the world.

Each of my guests in this episode have been through my course Creating Safer Space.

I am moved and inspired by what comes through in this conversation. Anyone interested in becoming trauma informed can find value and takeaways from this episode!

These 6 incredible humans share about how trauma-informed care (and my course Creating Safer Space!) has impacted their lives and the lives of those they work with.

They share tools, new perspectives and SO MUCH valuable information. Even If you just drop In for a few minutes, you'll gather something that could support you for decades.

Do you feel like you need to be “high vibe” all the time?

In this episode Ellie and I discuss how as coaches and care providers we don't need to be "high vibe" all the time, and we talk about how that might actually be re-perpeutating traumatic patriarchial experiences for people socialized as women. We talk vulnerably about how we show up as whole humans both running our businesses and supporting others with businesses. This podcast supports coaches and care providers and helps them to look for signs of burnout, to support and welcome the ways your nervous system to thrive, and to embrace our full spectrum human expression.

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.💙

ALSO…we will be transitioning to a new podcast schedule of twice monthly (1st and 3rd Wednesday) starting in June. It has been a wild journey recording 32 weekly podcasts since fall of last year and while it’s been super fun, twice a month feels easier and we’re ALL ABOUT ease here at Team Revolutionary Love. 💙 I’m excited to keep bringing you high-quality conversations with so many incredible trauma-informed people from many modalities this year. Thank you so much for all the people you’ve sent my way to the podcast as well.  It’s been incredible to watch the audience grow!

A bit about Ellie

Ellie is the business coach for the radically fabulous. With 12-years of experience as CEO-for-hire and consultant for aggressive high-growth social start-ups in emerging markets, she realized that success meant nothing if she was too burnt out to enjoy it. She decided that there had to be a way for the over-the-top, more-is-more, lovers of life to define, have, and hold success that makes sense to them and serves their people. With a healing-centred coaching approach that focuses on the biggest levers in business and life, she's now served 100+ clients via her signature programs: Magnetic Business Uplevel; Energetic Styling, and Enough is Enough.

How much do you share with your clients?

In this episode I share about how so many of us coaches, therapists and facilitators are told that we should tell our stories to build trust with clients and potential clients. On the other hand, some of us are told not to share anything about ourselves so we can be blank slates and so that we don’t influence our clients with our experiences.

I share my perspective on both sides of this conversation and tips on how to strike a balance between the two. This applies to our marketing and your direct interactions with clients and students.

✷ How can we check within our own bodies to understand how, when and why sharing our stories can sometimes be beneficial.

I am so excited to share with you this special episode! Tamsin Crimmens is back for a powerful discussion on trauma informed business expansion. We explore HOW to surrender to the momentum while expanding in business in a gentle and authentic way. Tamsin shares honestly about her path from feeling like a hot mess to feeling empowered as an entrepreneur and as someone who fiercely and lovingly supports others to grow their businesses and messages.

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.

This solo episode is a conversation I think is so important for all practitioners. Many of us, as care providers, find ourselves in places where we’re on a big or little emotional rollercoaster. Dysregulated, struggling with health issues, stuck in stress responses and facing chaos and instability in our lives in various ways.

In this week’s episode I share my thoughts and experiences as someone who spent years overwhelmed by what felt like daily crises and how showing up as a coach and therapist helped me. And also how I stabilized myself enough to be able to show up in the first place.I will give tips on how to gauge if we need to step away from supporting others, how to regulate ourselves and care for ourselves if we can’t step away and also how to allow ourselves to be human - tender, vulnerable and with expertise in our fields as life happens.

If you saw the FB live last week - this is it!  Because it felt important enough to put it in all the places that people might want to hear it.

This is GOLD…listen in is as Shelly Bhowmik, MD MPH, describes a pivotal moment in her career as a physician. She went from questioning her life on a subway platform to creating space and support for herself to really begin to thrive. In this episode we talk about how this type of revelation is more common than we’d like to think in the medical field.

We acknowledge the layers of stress and trauma that so many people in healthcare face and a way towards more ease and purpose.

A bit about Shelly

Shelly Bhowmik, MD MPH is the founder of Platform Wellness, a practice dedicated to helping people heal from burnout. Her practice is based on the belief that mindset is medicine, a belief she came to realize through her own journey that began at the edge of a subway platform.

Dr. Bhowmik is a double board-certified physician specializing in Preventive Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. She earned her medical degree from the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and completed her residency at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
