In this episode Sophie and Katie explore the profound connection between the body and mind with Somatic Intimacy Coach Alice Jackson, and how learning to let our body lead us can be medicinal for all areas of our life. 

Alice shares her journey from experiencing a deep disconnect from her body that led to struggles with eating disorders, to finding healing and finally a life that feels fulfilling. 

The conversation delves into the difficulties of hearing and listening to one's body, having the courage to make changes when the body pushes us to do so, and the transformative power of embodiment practices and somatic intimacy coaching.

In this reflective season finale, Sophie and Katie revisit the powerful themes woven throughout Season 1: intuition, healing, and trust.

In this episode, Katie + Sophie explore how the mind and body are in constant communication, and how our subconscious programming plays a central role in shaping our health. 

They dive into the science of the subconscious, including the theta brainwave state of ages 0–7, and how repetition and emotional charge hardwire certain beliefs into our nervous systems. They talk about the power of neuroplasticity and visualization, and how tools like journaling, self-reflection, and new behaviors can begin to rewire old patterns.

You’ll hear them discuss the placebo effect, epigenetics, and why beliefs, especially those we’re not aware of can directly impact the body’s biology. 

Whether this is your first introduction to the mind-body connection or a deepening of what you already know, this episode is a reminder that healing is not just physical: it’s deeply personal, psychological, and biological.
