    76. Somatic healing & plant medicine for couples: how to break free from childhood wounds with Stevie Wright

    Such a beautiful conversation with Stevie Wright, a somatic healer, plant medicine guide, and couples work facilitator. In this episode, we talk about how somatic healing helps us to unstick the emotional residue from childhood wounding. This often manifests most obviously in romantic partnerships, where all our deepest wounds get poked at. Stevie talked about how she helps couples process these wounds using somatics and plant medicine, so that they can create conscious partnership rooted in presence and loving witnessing. Stevie travels around the country doing private and group plant medicine retreats and incorporates somatic processing for deeper integration.

    70. Therapy vs coaching: my thoughts as someone who has been in both worlds

    As someone who trained and worked as a therapist, then left the system to create an online coaching company, here are my thoughts on the unique strengths and gaps in each field. I talk about my experience with therapy and coaching, both as a client and a professional. Both are here to stay. They don't have to compete. One doesn't have to be inherently better than the other. I feel that my role is to support both therapists AND coaches in deepening their personal embodiment and professional development.
