In this solo episode, I’m breaking down two of the questions I get asked the most: What is somatics? and What’s the difference between coaching and therapy? We’ll explore how your body communicates with your brain (spoiler: it’s way more than you think), why I weave somatic practices into life coaching, and how coaching and therapy can work beautifully together. If you’ve ever wondered which one you need, or how to listen to your body’s wisdom more deeply, this one’s for you.Connect with me: Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/iamshanettamcdonald/'>https://www.instagram.com/iamshanettamcdonald/</a> Newsletter sign-up: <a href='https://shanetta.substack.com/'>https://shanetta.substack.com/</a>
