• The prevalence of trauma and PTSD and the available healing methods
• Meaning of, "The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological"
• The power of nature in healing us from pain
• The hope of neuroplasticity!

Episode Summary:

In this episode, Analisa interviews Greg Wrenn, a former Stanford lecturer and author of "Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis," which explores healing from childhood trauma through nature and psychedelics. Greg talks about how mental health issues represent a significant yet often overlooked crisis impacting countless individuals.

Many of these challenges stem from childhood experiences, evolving into traumatic events that shape adult life. While therapy and coaching offer pathways to recovery and healing, the natural world has an undeniable power to facilitate healing processes. With its calming and rejuvenating properties, nature often plays a pivotal role in restoring mental well-being.

He shares more about this from his latest book, where he documents an evidence-based account of his quest to heal from complex PTSD by turning to endangered coral reefs and psychedelic plants after traditional therapies failed—and his awakening to the need for us to heal the planet as well.

Analisa and Leona share how they recognize their shadowselves and different tools and practices they both use to integrate the dark, uncomfortable, painful parts of their human. Embodiment is a big piece of their discussion and listeners will leave with an understanding of what it is and ways to practice it today!

Welcome to Soulful Ambition, formerly known as A Balancing Act, Analisa's latest iteration of her work in the world.

Soulful Ambition explores what it means to live inside out and go after our deepest longings. Soulful Ambition might sound contradictory at first… Because we've let society define ambition as striving for individual success, monetary gain, and personal achievements. But that's not what the soul really craves. In each episode, we're calling back the parts of ourselves conditioned to society's grind and external pressure. And awakening the longing in your chest that is so big it threatens to swallow you whole. So you can shine unapologetically, source from within, and move towards your big, wild dreams.

Not to become a manifesting babe/bro striving for individual success, but because your dreams are your destined path and the medicine that the world needs.
