This episode is a special one - we have Martial artist, holistic therapeutic practitioner, and founder of "The Empower Academy" - Sophie Williams!

Join us for a fascinating and deep chat about how Martial Arts can be a powerful tool in increasing your window of tolerance and resilience in life.

Sophie shares her personal stories and experience on how she navigates her own CPTSD and ADHD, with creativity, somatic work, and her deep knowledge and understanding of brain chemistry & the mind/body connection.

In her work she creates unique holistic systems for individuals, to allow them to achieve their goals. Teaching you how to understand & regulate your own nervous system so you can handle triggers, enabling you to diffuse the blocks that stop you from fully experiencing life.

Sophie has 20 years experience as a Martial artist, extensive work with young adults and children with autism, ADHD, mental, emotional and social difficulties, as well as skills in journal therapy, emotional regulation, flow state activation, somatic regulation, life coaching, meditation and mindfulness.

It was such a joy and education to talk to her today, and I hope you enjoy this episode. Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and you can find Sophie on Instagram @Sophie_strikes
