Former professional Muay Thai fighter Hannah Dalby spent a decade in the ring before discovering that success in one area of life doesn't automatically translate to another. Now a somatic practitioner and founder of Human Integration, she helps high-achieving leaders release the unconscious triggers driving their relationship patterns — trading reactivity and disconnection for real presence, intimacy, and connection.

What You'll Hear

• Why Hannah walked away from fighting for Australian titles to save the business she and her father built — and what she discovered in the space that fighting left behind
• How Human Integration developed almost by accident: what started as physical recovery work began dissolving addictions, healing relationships, and launching new businesses
• Why so many high performers succeed at work but struggle with intimacy — and how "doing" becomes a lifelong avoidance of feeling
• The real difference between control and true emotional regulation, and why forced play is just another item on the to-do list
• What actually happens in the body during a Human Integration session — and why getting the charge out matters more than understanding where it came from
• The surprising overlap between Hannah's somatic work and Malcolm's improv training — both get people out of their heads and back into honest, unscripted presence
• One simple pattern-interrupt you can use today: pause and ask your body what it's actually feeling
• Hannah's answer to what true connection really requires — becoming present with yourself first
