Reparenting: The Path to Self-Love with Shenikka Moore-ClarkeThis episode was a sweet honor to our younger parts and to both of us who happened to have nervous system storms that were actually happening around the same time about 5 years ago!

I discovered that we both did the exact same training in somatic parts work. How fun is that? Parts work and inner child healing is a big part of both of our approaches to helping clients. I’m...

"Somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body. In short, somatic refers to the connection, awareness, and attunement of your body and the sensations it experiences.
This meditation is a great way to begin to connect with the wisdom of your body and guide you to increase your awareness of sensations and emotions held in your body. It is a loving compassionate way of connecting to the parts of yourself that are in need.

The Healing Power of Art with Pamela O'BrienI'm so grateful that Pamela joined me on this podcast episode to talk about art therapy and how it helped her organically heal from chronic illnesses. After talking through her personal healing journey, she coached me and guided me through a therapy practice in real time, which you can also do on your own. All you need is paper, a sharpie, and coloring utensils of some kind. I was vulnerable and shared my reflections of the process.
I have always loved art and been drawn to creativity. It's pretty amazing how simple messy art...
