Every week she shares her own story, answers your questions, offers practical exercises, and interviews other survivors, as well as experts and authors in the field of somatics, trauma, healing modalities, mindfulness, and the arts. Most importantly, nothing helps a podcast grow like a positive review from people just like you.
