Episode Description
In this deeply grounding episode, Jessica sits down with Alexi Neal, a multidisciplinary somatic healer specializing in yoga therapy, energy healing, and trauma-informed bodywork. Alexi shares how motherhood reshaped her understanding of the nervous system and offers insight into how somatic practices can support emotional regulation, physical recovery, and self-trust throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

They talk about her personal experiences with induction, home birth, postpartum rest, and learning to trust the body again—plus, the real and raw truths of rebuilding your identity after becoming a mom.
