In this powerful conversation, Emily sits down with Raphaëlle Normandin to explore what it means to initiate back into our bodies—not through performance or perfection, but through sensation, slowness, and shadow. Raphaëlle shares her journey of being cracked wide open at her son's birth, describing it as a sacred descent and unraveling from who she had been into who she was becoming.

You'll discover why everything we're feeling is not too much but our medicine, how to shift from being in control to being with what arises, and why even our rage can be devotional. Raphaëlle guides us through her simple floor practice—laying down, breathing, letting the body tremble, and asking "what wants to be felt right now?"—revealing why allowing the trembling rather than calming it is sacred work. She opens up about releasing her armor and discovering that true strength doesn't hustle but trusts.

This conversation offers permission for women ready to feel what they've been taught to suppress—rage, grief, pleasure—and meet themselves there with reverence. Perfect for anyone who's tired of treating their body as a project and ready to discover it as the portal it truly is.
