Overworking, Somatics and Systemic Change with Tamu Thomas
02 Apr 2024
In this incredible conversation I chat to Tamu Thomas, transformational life coach and former social worker, specialising in helping women achieve work-life harmony by aligning with their nervous system for holistic well-being. We talk about:The systemic and structural oppression in social work How to navigate the workplace as a new social workerThe value of regulating your nervous system Tamu’s unique approach, rooted in somatic coaching and Polyvagal informed practice, empowers women to reconnect with their core selves, establish healthy boundaries, and build self-trust. Her work is particularly resonant in addressing the unique challenges faced by women of the global majority under what she describes as, "the trinity of oppression” - patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism.In Tamu's words, "We don’t need more self improvement, we need systemic change”. Her insights are essential for anyone seeking fulfilment, meaningful connection and joy in today's fast-paced world.Tamu’s links:Book website: https://www.womenwhoworktoomuch.co/International Amazon link: https://hayhs.com/wwwtm_pp_pb_azLive Three Sixty website: https://www.livethreesixty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamu.thomas/Get in touch with me:Email: [email protected]: Vicki Shevlin Join my membership, The Collective: www.socialworksorted.com/thecollectiveInstagram: @socialworksorted Youtube.com/@socialworksorted Lets connect!To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses or membership email [email protected] Sign up to my free newsletter Join The Collective Ebook Guides Email: [email protected]: Vicki Shevlin Instagram.com/@vickishevlin_Youtube.com/@socialworksortedFacebook.com/socialworksortedDisclaimer Thank you so much for listening.
