The Inner Alchemy Podcast with Becca Clegg: Empowering You to Create Your Dream Life Using the Magic Within

I am joined on this episode of the Inner Alchemy Podcast by fellow somatic practitioner and research lover, Paula Scatoloni. Paula brings a wealth of knowledge to the podcast that I find so so necessary in today's day and age. She specifically focuses on developing a neural platform for finding safety by way of the auditory pathways. By creating more neuroplasticity and softening our senses to invite ourselves back into relationship with ourselves, we can experience healing on a deeper level. 

I am so excited to be joined by fellow somatic practitioner, Megan Thomas, in today's episode of the Inner Alchemy Podcast. As I continue the conversation surrounding coming back to our being and using our bodies to heal, I was thrilled to happen across someone who speaks my language. Not only does Megan speak my language, but she also shouts it from the proverbial mountaintops with her incredible social media platform, where she educates her audience on practical somatic regulation skills. We discuss bringing both attention and intention to what our bodies ask of us, finding our center, and just letting yourself dance to the dang Barry Manilow.

You're in for a treat... and a crash course in the vastness of you. Holistic coach Dr. Melissa Ming Foynes joins us to dive deep into the unique pathways to healing (a.k.a. what this WHOLE season of the Inner Alchemy Podcast is about!). She discusses how what we need changes over time, meaning we have the freedom and power to curate our individual healing-- almost like it's an art form. We chat about how mindfulness doesn't exist without ancient pathways to wisdom, treating our lives like curriculum, and staying by your intuition's side, even when society judges you for it.

Prepared to be "wowed." This week's guest is therapist, author, and podcast host, Monica DiCristina, and man, did she ever fill this episode with invaluable insights and mindset shifts. Monica and I spend our half hour together talking about how the lies we believe about ourselves sometimes become a source of comfort because they can be less scary than the unknown. We dig into the widespread limiting belief that we are somehow "not enough" and how that impacts how we position ourselves in the world. And we chat about the idea that maybe-- just maybe-- we humans are always becoming.  Needless to say, we cover a lot of ground. Join us for an enlightening half hour that will have you inspired to dismantle the lies YOU have come to believe about yourself.

Let's get to the heart of the matter. In this week's episode, Becca shares the experience of her own wake up call to the realization that we are Human Beings, not Human Doings. She discusses the harm in speaking about our feelings and experiences as good versus bad, the painstaking process of becoming a butterfly, and what to do when you need to do less. Becca asks the question of her audience: What would happen if you lived your life less like a highlight reel and more like the messy, beautiful process that it is? If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or just unfulfilled despite checking all of the boxes-- this episode is for you.

We are joined on this week's episode by photographer and empowerment coach, Rupa Kapoor. Years ago, Rupa began what might be considered an unconventional photography business based on its tried and true mission: empower women to feel beautiful in their own skin. Through the power of vulnerability, Rupa has taught women what it's like to take baby steps forward and learn to fully embrace your own body.

This week's guest is XChange facilitator, self-mastery coach and unofficial master mixtape maker, Adair Cates. Adair joins us to explore some pretty hefty questions like, "Can our pain expand our experiences?" and "How can grief be our greatest teacher?" Adair and I explore reframing the way we view our pain, returning to our breath as the anchor, and putting 'return to sender' on feelings that don't belong to us. This conversation is wholehearted and vulnerable, and I invite you to join us in learning how life itself-- if you're paying attention-- is a way to heal.

I could not be more excited for you to join us for this conversation with life coach and trauma survivor, Kel Bauer, on the Inner Alchemy Podcast. I stumbled across Kel on Instagram after being drawn to one of his energetic and entirely human Instagram reels. I immediately knew this was someone I wanted to have on the show. Kel uses his online space, not only to share his own story, but to hold a space for others to feel seen in their own struggles. In this episode, we talk about the value of grief and trauma in helping us build awareness, waiting out the darkness in pursuit of the light, and realizing that we were never meant to live in survival mode. Kel shares his own thoughts on the purpose of hurt and how dance can affect our own relationship with self-expression.

In this week's episode, I'm flying solo! I wanted to take a brief interlude from our usual episode structure and chat a little bit about something near & dear to my heart-- our culture. Or rather, how our cultural messaging has lead us to believe we humans are "broken" or needing "fixed." You see, as a therapist, I have seen clients come in, time and time again, believing something is inherently wrong with them because they have some symptom (anxiety, depression, eating disorder, etc.) I've even held this belief about myself before. But the more I paid attention and challenged my mindset, the more I came to realize that our culture lies beneath most of our "brokenness." Join me in this week's episode as I discuss the woes of cultural messaging, Whack-A-Mole, and the necessary reframe that will help you change and heal.

Y'all. What an enlightening conversation this was. I am joined by well-travelled and vulnerability-driven wedding photographer and creative business coach Kristin Sweeting (@kristinsweeting) on Season Two, Episode Two of the Inner Alchemy Podcast, and can I just say-- Get ready for some radical mindset shifts. We dive into how grief and vulnerability can shape our sense of self and our creative work for the better, how to make human-first choices to craft a life that isn't just successful on the surface, and how to shake ourselves out of our respective comfort zones and start making "dangerous decisions." Join us for an episode of air quotes, questioning why you do things the way you do them, and thinking of life like one giant charcuterie board. (It will make sense when you listen, I promise).
