What Is Somatic Therapy? Jennie of MEND Counseling Explains Trauma, Nervous System Healing, and Building a Therapy Team.

On the Samantha Parker Show takeover series, Samantha interviews Jennie, owner of MEND Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, a group practice with seven other therapists (adding one more) chosen for extensive experience handling complex trauma. Jennie explains somatic therapy as “body” work focused on how the nervous system records experiences, describing physiological responses like tension, shaking, numbing/shutdown, and how pausing and breathing can help process emotions so trauma doesn’t become encapsulated. She emphasizes talk therapy’s value for safety, witnessing, and building a roadmap, but says somatic tools help resolve activation so memories become “net neutral,” mentioning modalities like brainspotting/EMDR and the role of window of tolerance. Jennie shares her path from college softball to psychology, wilderness therapy, and bodywork, plus a year-long psychedelic-assisted therapy training, and describes building a team to help more people. They also discuss self-care, community collaborations like Samantha’s impact walks, and where to find MEND online.

On the Samantha Parker Show’s 2026 “Takeover” series, Samantha interviews returning guest Caramie Ann (“The Money Mama”) about women, money confidence, and why income isn’t the real problem mindset and habits are. They discuss how childhood programming shapes money beliefs, the difficulty of holding a new “wealth” identity, and how avoiding finances is often emotional rather than logical. Caramie Ann shares that hyper-fixating on expenses can be less effective than focusing on creating more income, and emphasizes automation (tax savings, gift/Christmas buckets) to reduce stress and build consistency. They explore how even very wealthy people can feel scarcity, why peace and freedom are “inside jobs,” and how confidence comes from knowing you can rebuild after loss. Caramie Ann describes her sessions helping clients gain clarity, ease, and a roadmap, and invites listeners to book a free money session at themoneymama.com.

Dr. Steve Baum on Kaizen Health, Concierge Medicine, and Peptides/GLP-1s

Samantha Parker interviews Dr. Steve Baum (owner of Kaizen Health), a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician who practices functional and concierge medicine with direct text access and a $99/month membership model without medication markups. They discuss her prior skepticism about peptides and GLP-1s due to extreme weight loss trends, clinics and influencers “selling” medications, and online gray-market peptide access, contrasting this with medically supervised use. DR. STEVE explains peptides as “midget proteins” (short amino-acid chains) that act as hormones, gives examples like Sermorelin/Ipamorelin for growth hormone release, and notes growing research interest. They cover GLP-1 safety history since 2002, common side effects (constipation, nausea), misconceptions like thyroid tumors, and reported reduced alcohol cravings. He emphasizes peptides/GLP-1s as tools alongside strength training, adequate protein, and sleep to preserve muscle and metabolism, and outlines Kaizen Health’s free initial consult and services.
