Are you avoiding your emotions without realizing it? In this special episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I dive into the power of somatic work—giving you a practice that helps you release emotional and physical tension by working with the body instead of just the mind. I’ll walk you through why avoiding discomfort can keep you stuck, how emotions only last 90 seconds when fully felt, and why freedom comes from embracing what you resist. You’ll also hear about a simple yet powerful guided process that you can use daily to feel lighter, more present, and at peace. Whether you’re someone who overthinks, feels stuck in personal growth, or struggles with stress and anxiety, this episode is for you. I’ll explain how to shift from "freedom from" to "freedom to", why somatic work is a game-changer for transformation, and how you can start using it today. If you're ready to break free from old patterns and experience more ease in your life, press play and let’s begin. === Have you watched our previous episode about 5 Somatic Coaching Exercises to help you Release Anxiety and Stress?

Welcome to this special edition of the Healing and Human Potential podcast. So one of the main intentions I have for doing this podcast is to share some really practical tools that will help you more easily navigate your life. And having coached thousands of people over the years, I see a lot of people doing the work but not really getting free.
And so I want to give you an advanced tool and training here that can help you resolve the thing you've actually been struggling with your entire life. So here in this episode, I'll teach you briefly what somatic work is. And for those that don't know, my clinical degree was as a licensed somatic psychotherapist.
So even if you know somatic work, what I'll be sharing with you is part of my body of work. So it'll probably be new for you. I'll share one of the deepest ways that I've discovered using this work that I also teach in my certification program so that my coaches know how to powerfully facilitate it since it's that transformative.
I'm giving you a taste of it here, but I need to set you up with how to use it in a safe and productive way so that it really supports you in navigating the winds of life, learning how to surf the waves versus getting tumbled by it. And then I'm actually going to take you through a guided somatic process that will change your life if you do it regularly.
It'll help you release physical and emotional tension in your body and access more peace and freedom in your life. And so I encourage you to listen to the guided part of this process for 30 days and notice how powerfully your life shifts.
I also want to encourage you to share this episode with a friend so that you hold each other accountable to using it as a daily practice, since one of the best ways to create change and to be consistent is in community. So whether we're conscious of it or not, we're often moving away from what we fear and chasing what we believe is going to make us happy, accepted, worthy, and loved.
But you might not have noticed that trying to get rid of unwanted feelings doesn't actually work. It kind of traps us. And there's nothing wrong with chasing desires and avoiding fears, but it causes suffering. So I want to make sure you have a different orientation to life if you choose to try it on.
Because what I've discovered is ironically, the last place that we would be willing or wanting to go holds the key to our freedom. I call this the paradox of transformation because the very thing we've been avoiding is actually the doorway to what we deeply desire. when we're courageous enough to face the things that we've been afraid of, we free ourselves from the power that it's had over us.
So it's kind of the game of opposites. Let me ground this for you. So if you wanna feel confident, it's through embracing insecurity. If you wanna feel worthy, it's through embracing unworthiness. If you wanna feel free, it's through embracing feeling stuck. And if you wanna feel connected, it's through embracing loneliness.
