If you’ve ever felt like you had to overgive, overthink, or carry the emotional weight of your relationships just to feel loved, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 traits of an emotionally safe man and how a healthy relationship should actually feel in your nervous system — especially for women healing abandonment wounds, people-pleasing, and attachment trauma.

From emotional regulation, vulnerability, integrity, and true masculine safety, this conversation explores the difference between relationship dynamics that keep you anxious and those that help you soften. Whether you’re dating, healing heartbreak, or trying to build deeper intimacy in your current relationship, this episode will help you recognize the kind of love that supports your growth instead of your survival patterns.

Why You Feel Like You Never Fully Heal (Even After Years of Self-Work)

Tue, 19 May 2026 07:00:03 +0000

If you’re constantly trying to fix yourself, overanalyzing your emotions, struggling with anxiety, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, or feeling like you can never fully relax… this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Letters To and From Women Podcast, we're exploring the deeper nervous system and childhood trauma patterns behind perfectionism, self-improvement addiction, emotional hypervigilance, and the feeling that there is always something wrong with you that needs healing.

This conversation is especially for high-achieving, sensitive women who:

feel exhausted by constantly working on themselves
struggle to feel safe resting
grew up walking on eggshells
became the “responsible one” in their family
feel pressure to always perform, achieve, or hold everything together
have tried therapy, self-help books, retreats, meditation, or breathwork but still feel stuck in survival mode

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ why your nervous system may associate fixing yourself with safety
✨ how childhood chaos and emotional unpredictability shape anxiety patterns
✨ the hidden trauma behind toxic productivity and perfectionism
✨ why many women become addicted to healing and self-improvement
✨ why hypervigilance can make peace feel unsafe
✨ the difference between temporary relief and true nervous system healing
✨ how somatic healing helps women reconnect with safety, presence, and emotional regulation

This episode also explores:

complex trauma and PTSD
nervous system regulation
emotional safety
self-worth and attachment wounds
the eldest daughter experience
immigrant family pressure
feminine healing and identity
healing anxiety naturally
learning how to be present without constantly trying to “fix” yourself

If you’ve ever thought:
“Why am I still anxious after all this healing work?”
or
“Why do I still feel like I’m not enough?”

This episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and clarity.

Why Sensitive Women Feel Like They’re Always in Trouble

Tue, 12 May 2026 07:00:03 +0000

If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety has no off switch… like your mind is constantly scanning for danger, overthinking every interaction, and carrying everyone else’s emotional weight, this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode, I talk about the deeper roots of anxiety through the lens of people-pleasing and self-abandonment trauma. I share how growing up hypervigilant and emotionally over-responsible shaped my nervous system, relationships, identity, and sense of self-worth. I also explore the concept of “merging” after trauma — when we lose our sense of boundaries and unconsciously tie our worth to caring for, fixing, or emotionally managing others.

Inside this conversation, I talk about:

High-functioning anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
The emotional burden many sensitive women carry
Childhood survival patterns and anxious attachment
Burnout from chronic self-abandonment
Why sensitivity is not weakness
Somatic healing and reclaiming your identity
Boundaries, emotional capacity, and relationship dynamics
How to stop losing yourself in other people’s needs
Rebuilding self-worth outside of productivity and caretaking

This episode is for the woman who is tired of feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from herself, and responsible for everyone else’s peace.

You deserve relationships that support your wholeness — not relationships built on your burnout.

Why You Can't Get Over Him (Even Thought You Know It's Time to Let Go)

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:00:04 +0000

💔 Are you hurting from a broken heart or an abandonment wound that won't seem to heal, or keeps sabotaging your dating life? Apply for 1:1 somatic coaching with me, and receive a free session ✨: https://forms.gle/DcFAV9vqv7jGTeAv7

Letting go is sometimes less about missing them… and more about forgiving yourself?

In this episode, we're exploring a powerful reframe around heartbreak, toxic relationships, and why some breakups linger long after they’ve ended.

If you’ve been stuck ruminating over someone who hurt you, craving closure, or blaming yourself for what you tolerated, this conversation offers a compassionate but honest lens: What if the pain keeping you attached isn’t only about what they did… but about the places you left yourself behind?

We explore:

self-abandonment and heartbreak
anxious attachment and people-pleasing
why closure often doesn’t heal the wound
the anger beneath betrayal trauma
healing the younger parts of you that accepted less than you deserved
rebuilding trust in yourself through somatic healing

This episode is for women ready to break patterns of overgiving, toxic love, and chronic self-betrayal — and begin returning home to themselves.

If this episode resonates, share it with a woman who needs it.

The Quiet Way Your Daily Routine is Harming Your Self-worth

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:00:03 +0000

A soft, honest bedside chat on something most women with complex trauma quietly struggle with: the line between supporting yourself… and unknowingly punishing yourself.

In this episode, I’m unpacking how people-pleasing, dissociation, and survival-mode conditioning shape the way you move through your daily life—especially when it comes to structure, discipline, and routine.

If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to how “well” you stick to a plan… or like one off-day spirals into shame... this conversation will land.

I'm talking about:

How rigid routines can actually reinforce anxiety
Why your nervous system may resist structure
How to start building a life that feels safe to be inside -- not just one that looks productive from the outside

I also share personal stories around control, identity, and the fear of losing yourself inside expectations that were never truly yours.

This is your invitation to stop living as if your life is something you have to earn—and start creating a daily rhythm that feels like support, not pressure. If you’re ready to feel at home in yourself again, this one’s for you.

Beautiful, if you’re constantly busy but feel disconnected, exhausted, and unsure of what you actually want—this episode is for you.

We explore how burnout, people-pleasing, and CPTSD patterns keep women stuck in cycles of overdoing and self-abandonment.

I Did a 10-Day Silent Retreat… And It Healed My Anxiety (Here’s Why)

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:00:02 +0000

In this episode of the Letters To and From Women Podcast, I talk about how a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat helped me deeply heal the root of my anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

After stepping away from constant stimulation, productivity, and self-improvement, I uncovered three powerful truths:

You’re not avoiding yourself—you’re avoiding the pressure of who you think you need to be
The endless pursuit of self-improvement can actually reinforce anxiety and disconnection
Much of the pain we carry comes from unresolved self-judgment that needs forgiveness, not fixing.

This episode breaks down how silence reveals the root of overthinking, people-pleasing, and nervous system dysregulation—and how you can begin creating that same healing in your daily life, even without a retreat.

Feeling Lost, Burnt Out, and Like Your Life Isn’t Yours? Do This Instead.

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 07:00:03 +0000

✨ JOIN "From Burnt Out to Alive: A 10-Day Do Less, Feel More Reset", starting April 15: belong-sisterhood.circle.so

If you’ve been waking up feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and disconnected from your life… even though you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing what my life looked like just a couple of months ago when I was deeply burnt out, overwhelmed, and stuck in a state of paralysis.

From the outside, everything looked fine… but inside, I felt numb, anxious, and completely disconnected from myself. And no amount of productivity, discipline, or self-care was fixing it.

What finally changed everything wasn’t doing more—it was doing the opposite.

In this episode, I walk you through the exact process I used over 4 weeks to:
💛 Move out of burnout, freeze, and overwhelm
💛 Stop feeling like you “don’t have time” for your life
💛 Reconnect with what actually brings you energy and clarity
💛 Shift from guilt-driven action to desire-led living

We’ll talk about the role your nervous system plays in burnout, why pushing through makes things worse, and how creating REAL space can reconnect you to your motivation, creativity, and sense of self.

If your life feels busy but empty… If you feel like you’ve lost yourself in routines, expectations, or pressure… Or if you’re constantly tired no matter how much you rest… This episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead!

Emerald Osagie: Make Art Out of Your Authenticity

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:00:05 +0000

In this funny, chaotic, heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Emerald Osagie, the voice behind the podcast’s intro song, and she happens to be my BFF as well.

She’s a Toronto-born singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice and deeply emotional storytelling. She has released multiple singles, earned a Western Canadian Music Award nomination, and her debut album Life Don’t Love You, was released in March of 2025.

We explore Emerald’s multifaceted journey as a singer-songwriter and how she has navigated the music industry as a black queer woman, emphasizing the importance of representation and vulnerability in her work. Emerald shares her personal journey of embracing her identity as a woman and the power of self-acceptance. We delve into the complexities of identity, authenticity, and how this creates challenges of self-acceptance, but the importance of letting go of control in life.

Why Vulnerability Feels So Hard in Relationships

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:00:04 +0000

This is for the woman quietly struggling to feel seen, but doesn't feel safe doing so.

For the one who really wants to connect and repair, but has to fight with her body to stay in relationship -- not shutting down or running away.

This episode will teach you why it's your identity that makes vulnerability feel so hard, and how identity impacts your nervous system to make you feel dysregulated, afraid, and avoidant in difficult conversations.

Takeaways:
💛 Vulnerability is a conscious decision to own your truth and be witnessed in your imperfection.
💛 Perceived threats in vulnerability activate survival instincts like fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown.
💛 Naming your triggers and setting desirable outcomes can help navigate vulnerable conversations.
💛 Healing from childhood wounds involves shifting from survival mode to authentic self-expression.

You're Not Broken, You've Just Been in Survival Mode

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:00:02 +0000

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be perfect, pleasing, or constantly “good enough”… and somehow, it still doesn’t feel like enough — this is for you.

There’s a kind of exhaustion that comes from living in survival mode for too long.
The kind where you look like you have it together… but inside, you feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and what you actually want.

In this rebranding to the Letters To & From Women Podcast, we’re beginning a different kind of conversation where we explore:

the quiet shame many women carry about who they are
how that shame shapes our relationships, identity, and sense of self
and why so many of us feel unsafe being fully seen, even when we crave connection

This isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about returning to the parts of you that were never meant to be abandoned in the first place.

Inside this episode, I share:
💛 why this podcast was reborn after a 2-year hiatus
💛 my personal journey into somatic healing and attachment work
💛 how survival mode can become a woman’s default without her realizing it
💛 and what becomes possible when your body finally begins to feel safe again

If you’ve been feeling like you’ve outgrown a version of yourself but don’t know what comes next… you’re in the right place!

Fede Vargas: Merging Cultures and Finding Authentic Expression

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 07:05:02 +0000

In this conversation, I’m talking to Fede Vargas, creator of "My Most Authentic Life," a podcast exploring big changes and unconventional paths, inspired by his own pivot from a successful media and entertainment career to purpose-driven content creation. Fede and I discuss our experiences as children of immigrants and our journey to finding our authentic voices. We explore themes of identity, belonging, navigating two cultures, the importance of amplifying our voices, and the immigrant child experience in relation to mental health. We share actionable tools for self-care, checking in on our mental health, and seeking inclusive counselling services. This conversation highlights the ongoing journey to authenticity and the power of reflection and self-care.

Keywords: children of immigrants, identity, belonging, authentic expression, coming out, amplifying voices, authenticity, imperfections, mental health, immigrant child experience, personal growth, merging cultures, movies, decolonization therapy, societal norms, reflection, self-care

Takeaways:

The journey to finding your authentic voice as a child of immigrants can be challenging, as you navigate between two cultures and try to fit in.
Authentic expression is about being true to yourself and embracing your identity, even if it doesn't conform to societal expectations.
Coming out, whether it's about sexual orientation or embracing a new career path, is a continuous process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
It's important to create spaces where everyone's authentic voices are heard and respected, regardless of their background or identity. Embrace imperfections and the messy first draft of life.
Nourish your soul and listen to its needs.

Sheena Yap Chan: My Voice, My Power

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:00:05 +0000

This week, I am interviewing the amazing Sheena Yap Chan. Sheena is The Wall Street Journal Bestselling author of the book The Tao of Self-Confidence. She is a keynote speaker, consultant and award-winning podcaster on leadership and self-confidence, amplifying the voices of underrepresented Asian women.

The conversation explores the topics of self-confidence, authenticity, and the challenges faced by women in entrepreneurship. Sheena Yap Chan shares her journey of self-confidence and emphasizes the importance of loving oneself, including the good, bad, and ugly parts, especially as an Asian woman in a White patriarchal society with little representation of Asian women. We discuss the societal pressures on women to be superwomen and the need to dismantle stereotypes, working smart, not just hard, and the role of trauma in building confidence.

Overall, the conversation highlights the need for women to create their own definition of self-confidence and to support each other in achieving their goals. Sheena shares her journey of building self-confidence and the importance of community and asking for help. She highlights the need for women to speak up, take space, and promote themselves without shame.

Monthly Q&A: Healing Heartbreak, Vulnerability, and Being the Love You Desire with Braden Paes

Tue, 28 May 2024 07:00:04 +0000

Welcome to this month’s listener Q&A on how to allow more love into our lives! For this conversation, I brought in my dear friend, actor, producer, and lawyer, Braden Paes to help me in answering some of your biggest questions about love and relationships.

We answer 5 of our listener submissions by discussing the importance of opening oneself up to love, with personal stories and insights on how to heal from heartbreak, believe in love again, and become more comfortable with vulnerability in relationships.

Dr. Jonathan Marion: Authentic You for Authentic Connections

Tue, 21 May 2024 07:00:04 +0000

Welcome to our guest interview for May’s theme of “How to let more love into your life”! In this episode, I am interviewing Dr. Jonathan Marion, who believes that when we LIVE, CONNECT & COMMUNICATE authentically, we send out ripples…. which send out ripples… which make the world a more caring and connected place, one ripple at a time.

Having seen this dynamic over 20+ years as an award-winning cultural anthropology professor and author, Jonathan feels that how we show up is the key to living deeply meaningful and fulfilling lives. As a coach, consultant, and speaker, Jonathan draws on decades of experience teaching diverse audiences and is trained in Emotional Intelligence, Group Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, Clear Beliefs Coaching, and Somatic Coaching. Jonathan is passionate about supporting clients and audiences in transcending external accomplishments as measures of success to live truly aligned, rewarding, and meaningful lives.

In this episode, Dr. Marion introduces the BEING framework, which stands for Begin where you are, Explore where you want to go, Investigate how you want to get there, Now start, and Get your best life. He explains that by starting with how you want to be and envisioning your ideal future, you can navigate the path towards authentic connections and a fulfilling life. Dr. Jonathan S. Marion discusses the importance of shifting from 'should' to 'could' in our thinking and actions, and how this shift can lead to more authentic connections in relationships. He emphasizes the need to acknowledge and accept what is happening in our lives, rather than fighting against it. Dr. Marion also explores the impact of cultural narratives on our beliefs and expectations in relationships, and the importance of understanding and respecting different cultural perspectives. He provides a framework for building authentic connections, focusing on understanding the role of being authentic with ourselves to be authentic with others.

Keywords: authenticity, fulfillment, transformation, life coaching, connections, meaning, should vs could, authentic connections, relationships, cultural narratives, understanding, respect, framework, optics, review, clarify, explore

Takeaways

Authenticity and fulfillment come from being true to oneself and finding meaning in life.
The BEING framework (Begin, Explore, Investigate, Now start, Get your best life) can guide the path towards authentic connections and a fulfilling life.
Explore where you want to go by clarifying your goals and what truly matters to you. Investigate how you want to get there by considering different routes and decision-making processes.
Derive safety and fulfillment from being authentically yourself rather than fitting in or seeking external validation. Shift from 'should' to 'could' in your thinking and actions to open up possibilities and reduce expectations.
Acknowledge and accept what is happening in your life, rather than fighting against it.
Cultural narratives shape our beliefs and expectations in relationships, but it's important to recognize and respect different cultural perspectives.
Build authentic connections by understanding the framework and optics of others, reviewing and reflecting on their perspective, clarifying any misunderstandings, and exploring common ground.

Monthly Q&A: Navigating Boundaries, Content Creation, and Fear of Being Unloved for People Pleasers

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 07:00:05 +0000

Welcome to the 3rd listener monthly Q&A on The Commitment to Growth Podcast! In this insightful episode, we're sending off the "Healing the Inner People Pleaser" monthly theme by diving deep into the intricate world of people-pleasing through a curated Q&A session fueled by questions from our engaged listeners. We delve into the nuanced layers of this pervasive behaviour, providing practical insights, empathetic understanding, and empowering solutions.

We address the familiar tug-of-war between self-assertion and self-abandonment that plagues long-time people-pleasers. Listeners are guided through the complex psychology behind this phenomenon, exploring the roots of seeking validation through sacrificing authenticity. Listeners are treated to a rich tapestry of inquiries ranging from setting boundaries while battling the fear of appearing rude to differentiating between people-pleasing and narcissism. We chat about how to embrace vulnerability as a catalyst for growth, fostering honest dialogues that pave the way for authentic connections. Practical strategies for content creators grappling with people-pleasing tendencies in the digital realm are also unpacked, shedding light on the importance of staying true to one's voice amidst the noise of algorithms and trends. The episode culminates in an exploration of unattachment as a transformative practice for people-pleasers, urging listeners to redefine their worth beyond external validation.

Through poignant anecdotes, relatable insights, and actionable advice, this Q&A episode serves as a beacon of hope for those navigating the labyrinth of people-pleasing in their personal and professional lives.

Takeaways:

Setting boundaries can be scary for chronic people-pleasers, but gathering evidence that the right people will receive our authentic truth can help deepen relationships.
There is a difference between people-pleasing and narcissism. People pleasers operate from a fear of losing love, while narcissists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Content creators who are people pleasers should practice showing up authentically on social media and not be attached to the response or validation of others.
Unattachment is important in healing the inner people pleaser. It means not tying our worth to the responses of others and standing in our authenticity regardless of how we are received.
Being unattached allows us to feel safe in our relationships, reduces stress levels, and opens us up to more love and acceptance.
It's important to be okay with not being liked by everyone and to be willing to be disliked. The people who truly love and resonate with us will be drawn to our authenticity.

Karenna Soto: Embrace Your Truth to Break the Chains of People Pleasing

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:00:03 +0000

In this conversation, I sit down with Karenna Soto, a Burnout keynote Speaker and trauma-informed somatic practitioner. We explore the common fears of people-pleasers, such as not being liked, understood, losing people, and not belonging. We explore the concept of inner child healing and how it can help individuals connect with their authentic selves. Karenna emphasizes the significance of learning to give oneself what one needs and wants, rather than relying on others for validation and fulfillment. Our conversation highlights the importance of vulnerability and open communication in relationships, as well as the process of creating a sense of safety within oneself. Ultimately, we guide and encourage listeners to recognize their worthiness and prioritize their own needs and desires to break free from their people-pleasing cycles.

Karenna is a dynamic force in communication, relationship-building, and anxiety management, dedicated to empowering female leaders. With four years as a certified life coach and trauma-informed somatic practitioner, she guides women in speaking their truth, honouring their capacity, navigating tough conversations, and preventing burnout. In her decade-plus corporate journey, she transformed from a people pleaser into a respected, authentic leader. She is here to invite female leaders into their fullest, expressed, and confident selves. She now serves as a professional speaker and podcast host of The Fully Expressed Podcast with Karenna.

Kelsey Moss: Cultivating Mindfulness Through Yoga and Healthy Inner Work

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:00:09 +0000

This week's episode is a juicyyyy chat with Kelsey Moss! Kelsey is in the final stages of her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and is the Owner of KMOSSYOGA. With a background in concussion research, mental health, and neurophysiology, Kelsey bridges the gap between modern neuroscience and yoga by teaching the mechanisms through which mindfulness changes the brain. As a 200-RYT, she is a firm believer in prioritizing mental and physical wellbeing for improving ourselves, communities, and corporations. After suffering from debilitating anxiety for years, Kelsey turned to mindfulness and yoga, and experienced first-hand the benefits studied in the scientific literature. Drawing on her education and experience in psychology and mental health, combined with a relentless drive to connect with and help others, she created Neuro-Informed Yoga and Mindfulness (NIYM). Through workshops, group programs, and public speaking engagements, NIYM is an approach to wellness designed to educate and teach people how to live a more peaceful, informed, and meaningful life with ease.

Emma Skaug & Amy Smith: The Intuitive Athlete Works Smarter, not Harder

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 17:37:09 +0000

I am BEYOND excited to bring you this episode with my 2 best friends and fellow Kinesiology students, Amy Smith and Emma Skaug! Amy is a competitive powerlifter and aspiring Strength and Conditioning Coach, as well as a spin teacher and talented poet. Emma is the guide for Canada's paralympic triathlete, Jessica Tuomela, and has been competing in triathlon for 8 years. Emma is passionate about exercise physiology research, and competes in cyclocross along with her triathlon training! In this episode, we talk about many things that I'm sure many of us wish we had heard in our early years of exploring fitness, whether competitive or recreationally: we discuss the misconceptions surrounding what it takes to be an athlete in terms of sacrifices of time and relationships, why "suffering" constantly during training can actually be detrimental to your performance, how to balance our social, academic and personal lives amidst competitive athletics, and why developing an intuitive relationship with your body as an athlete is key for success and results. I could not be more excited to bring this episode to you this week. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me!
*Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that the strategies we discussed to cope with disordered eating patterns and mental health setbacks are anecdotal and they are what worked for us personally. If you are experiencing any of these things, please seek help from a licensed professional.

You are not a constant self-improvement project.

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

There's no denying that the self-help industry has seen a boom in the last few years. Many people are doing it and many people are talking about it... but what happens when we become too absorbed in always trying to become better, in always moving on to the next book or saving another Ted Talk to watch, rather than staying in the present moment? In this episode, we discuss the side of self-improvement that not many talk about: when self-improvement leads to burnout and when it deters us from embracing who we are from moment to moment.

Healing Attachment Wounds & Coming Home To Ourselves

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 12:00:20 +0000

Have you ever gone seeking love for yourself in other people? Have you, or are you going through, the process of losing someone in your life, but finding it really difficult to remember who you were before them? Attachment wounds are formed in our early years, based on the ways that we received love from our caregivers and the environments in which we grew up. How (and if) our needs were met in these critical times shapes how we form relationships in our adult lives, and how we regard ourselves in relationships. If you have a history of self-abandoning in relationships, giving yourself too quickly to emotionally unavailable people, or seeking love to avoid feeling alone, this episode is for you. We define attachment, how to recognize if you have abandonment wounds that are influencing your attachment style, and how to build practices that allow you to enter relationships consciously while soothing your inner child. This is my story of how I've learned to come home to myself after living in survival for many years. I hope it impacts your own.

Listen to This if You're Afraid of Commitment

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 12:00:15 +0000

Commitment can be scary, right? It's like signing a contract to all the ups and downs that can come with choosing to dedicate ourselves to something bigger than us, such as a romantic relationship, a new job, an opportunity to move across the country, and more. Any life situation is going to inevitably come with ups and downs, some ups bigger than others and some downs lower than we've ever experienced: but we always. Gain. Something. In the end.
In this episode, my goal is to help you overcome your fear of commitment by giving a more soul-based, heart-oriented perspective of viewing commitment. If you knew you would always get back up after a pitfall, how many more big and scary things would you commit to in your daily life?

Stephanie Morris: Listening to What Our Bodies Have to Say

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Steph Morris is a female embodiment coach. She seeks to help ambitious, busy women slow down, transform the relationship with their body and release a lifetime of suppressed emotions so that they fall deeply in love with themselves, create deeper intimacy, and feel more pleasure, joy & ease in their life.
In this episode, we discuss Steph's journey towards embodiment: how the unhealthy lifestyle she used to live lead her down a slippery slope that ultimately impacted her health, well-being, and relationships, and how she is now using these life experiences to help women who are living disconnected from their bodies. We discuss emotional suppression, getting in touch with our bodies to get to know ourselves, and what small changes we can start making in our own lives to drastically improve how we walk through the world.
