In my experience,

You want to be able to handle the stresses of the growth

Which means you have to have foundations that are so deep,

That when life throws it’s inevitable curve balls you’re steady!

I interview Author and somatic coach  @PatDivillyCoaching 

He’s recently written the book “Shadow work” where he really beautifully explains what shadow work is and how it will benefit you as someone who chooses to push themselves.

Pat’s journey through body transformation coaching,

Leading groups and a deep psychotherapeutic journey,

Along with Pat’s incredible way of making complex things simple…

Makes this podcast a no brainer listen,

And his new book a must read.

Enjoy the conversation,
