My job as a trauma informed and Existential Kink somatic coach is to lead you back to yourself through RADICAL approval. Self-help can be an endless circuit of constantly trying to “heal” from your humanness. My job is to help you embrace your messy and adorable humanity with so much love, humor, kindness, and understanding. My philosophy is: All parts of you are innocent. I help you relate to all your parts in a novel & magical way that will change how you see yourself and, therefore, everything else. As within, so without :)

    170: Praying to the mystery: from Mormon housewife to mystic with Sharli

    I was literally just having a casual connection call with this awesome woman Sharli and within like...2 minutes I had this intense intuitive pull to ask if she wanted to turn this convo into a podcast episode so here we are lol Sharli's been practicing Focusing - a therapeutic approach all about focusing attention on internal sensations to gain insight/clarity - for over 30 YEARS. and what I love is she's made it her own. it's not some rigid technique...it's become a way of being for her. here's what we dove into during this convo: → what the fck is Focusing (and why your body already knows how to do it) → the gentleness required to actually heal vs. the forcing we're conditioned to do → how your pain just wants a WITNESS...not a fixer, not a savior, just someone to SEE it → why that part of you that wants ice cream all day isn't sabotaging you - it's trying to tell you something → Sharli's journey from devout Mormon to "praying to mystery" (LOVED this part of our convo and legit teared up) → visibility as practice - from "Sharli show-off" as a kid to decades of hiding to finding her way back → how symbols (tarot, astrology, your body's sensations) all speak the same language → trusting your intuition when it makes ZERO logical sense the thing that hit me hardest: Sharli talked about how in focusing, you don't DO things to your pain. you don't breathe light into it. you don't try to transform it. you just...let it BE there. you get curious about it. and it changes on it's own. that's the exact opposite of how we're taught to "heal" right?? we're always trying to fix and force and improve but what if the work is just...being WITH yourself? what if the mystery is where all the magic lives? ooOoOoo this episode is for you if: you're exhausted from trying to heal your way out of being humanyou've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much"you're curious what happens when you stop forcing changeyou want permission to not have all the answersyou're ready to let your body lead instead of your overthinking logic brain Sharli shares how Focusing helped her through leaving the Mormon church, finding her spirituality again, reclaiming visibility after years of hiding. and honestly? this conversation reminded me why I do this work. because when we give ourselves permission to just FEEL what we feel without trying to change it... when we witness our pain instead of weaponizing positivity against it... when we trust the mystery instead of needing certainty... everything shifts. not because we forced it. but because we finally stopped fighting ourselves. grab your headphones + make some tea. listen in.

    169. Live coaching session: when anger feels too dangerous

    Come to WOMAN OF FIRE!!! Oct. 20-28th, 2025 https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/htbSewQt/checkout Here's what we'll be moving through in these 7 days together (9 including the weekend): · Audio trainings and practices to help you befriend your anger as the sacred fire she actually is - not something to fear or suppress, but wisdom trying to speak through you · Somatic practices to release decades of trapped rage from your throat, jaw, and shoulders without burning down your relationships - shaking, vocal toning, breathwork, movement · Learn to distinguish between reactive anger (the explosion after years of suppression) and creative anger (the clear boundary-setting energy that protects what you love) · Understanding the science of suppression, ancestral fear patterns, + a matriarchal orientation to women's anger. YOU KNOW I love to bring indigenous and Eastern wisdom in, and this initiation is no different. · LIVE integration class - 60 minutes to tie everything together on Tuesday, October 28th at 11am PST (mark your calendar now!!) All materials yours to keep forever. ooo yea this is good one. This is a live full coaching session using a combo of somatics, parts work, inquiry, and Existential Kink. In this powerful sesh, witness a real-time journey through the process of working with anger, tension, and the fear of emotional expression. My client started the session feeling trapped - chest tight, throat constricted, caught in the familiar pattern of wanting to explode while simultaneously afraid of the destruction that might follow (so relatable). Through guided somatic work, grounding techniques, and an unexpected encounter with her inner guide "Gemma," my client discovers that her explosive feelings aren't something to fear or fix. Thru a non-fear, non-shame lens, they're fireworks (!!!) with deep origins -- beautiful and intense -- wanting space and movement. Perfect for highly sensitive women, caregiving types, entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone ready to transform their relationship with anger and emotional expression 3 . .

    168: Unlearning tension: how to actually let your body relax with Aimee Takaya

    You know that tension you're holding in your neck right now?? Or the tightness in your stomach you've grown so used to that you barely notice it anymore? Yeah—this episode is about that :) Aimee Takaya is a brilliant Hanna somatic educator who guides people through the gentlest, most powerful form of release. Her approach isn't about pushing through pain or forcing your body into submission. It's about teaching your nervous system that it's *finally* safe enough to let go. In this WONDERFUL convo, we explore how chronic tension is literally muscle memory holding onto past experiences—car accidents, stress responses, childhood patterns, all of it encoded in the way we move (or don't move) through the world. Aimee walked me through some of her techniques live on the podcast, and I actually felt my neck tension release in real-time. It was wild. We dive into: · Why pushing harder and stretching more can actually keep you stuck in pain patterns· How your body might be holding resistance for really valid reasons (and why that's okay)· The difference between clenching and actual functional movement· Why being "bad at sports" as a kid might have been a nervous system thing all along· The accumulative magic of consistent somatic practice—and why it's foundational, not optional· How water therapy and somatics together create this dreamy parasympathetic state· Why co-regulation with practitioners is essential for those of us holding space for others This episode is for my highly sensitive, people-pleasing humans who've been white-knuckling their way through life, trying to control everything by staying tense and braced. If you've ever felt like you're pushing against your own nature just to keep it all together, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. . . Aimee's Bio & links: Aimee Takaya has been guiding transformative movement for over 13 years. First as an international yoga teacher and now as a Hanna Somatic Educator and Transformation Facilitator. She knows from personal experience the power of this modality to resolve chronic tension and pain and unlock your limitless human potential. Through her practice in Hanna Somatics she has overcome debilitating chronic pain/unresolved trauma that used to control her life. Now, she enjoys ease in leadership, entrepreneurship, healthier personal relationships and has better functional mobility than she did as a child!

    167: Political neutrality is OVER, skin as smooth as a dolphin, self-flagellation, I'm a hypocrite

This ep is a brain dump by the ocean after picking up skincare. We're talking about the bullshit + fun of beauty standards we've all bought into, the weird abstract "I'm not enough" story running in our heads, and why I'm done staying politically neutral :) I read you the post I made about Charlie Kirk and why owning our conditioning is loving. We also talk about into how self-criticism perpetuates trauma cycles, business is a mirror for your patterns, and how most of our behavior comes down to avoiding or facing emotions. Also announcing something new coming about women's anger!!!!

    166: Weaving a life of embodied joy with the magical **Aj Smit**

    When you meet someone who literally sparkles with joy and makes you remember what it feels like to be fully alive... Aj Smit is one of those magical humans for me 3 She's an intuitive energy worker, speaker, henna artist, and author of "The Red Thread: Weaving an Embodied Life of Joy" - plus she's a hot chocolate connoisseur, glitter enthusiast, and one of the most full-spectrum humans I've ever had the absolute pleasure of working with. I worked with Aj about a year ago when she was doing some tech and energy support work in my business, and y'alllllll - she is everything you could want and more in a collaborator, friend, and coach. She would send me these adorable packages with glitter and sweet notes, and when we'd work together on tech stuff, if I was feeling overwhelmed, she'd guide me back to connection with myself first. Always meeting me where I was, and infusing our sessions with humor and so much love. She's since transitioned fully into her calling as an intuitive coach and energy worker - and I truly believe that's exactly where she should be. In this deliciously rich + deep conversation, we dive into: How Aj's work evolved from necessity - she needed the healing, so she learned it, then others started asking for what she hadThe practice of joy (because yes, it IS a practice) and how she went from being a "husk of a human" during burnout to someone who radiates aliveness and walks her talkHer journey through severe carpal tunnel that forced her to stop everything - lifting, writing, henna, VA work - and how that led her deeper into energy workWhy grief and joy live door-to-door, and how embracing the full spectrum of human emotions actually creates more capacity for pleasureThe revolutionary act of choosing joy as rebellion in a world that wants us separated and sufferingHow to become your own loving witness and say the quiet parts out loud without judgmentThe magic of parts work and why your soul's deep river voice is always good medicine 3 Aj embodies a truth that joy isn't frivolous or naive - it's necessary medicine for ourselves and our world. Her energy is infectious, her wisdom is deep, and her commitment to helping women remember their own radiance is beautiful and important.

    165: The Secret to Not Giving a F*ck About Social Media Likes (And Why Your Business Depends On It)

    Rate my pod if you love it!!! Episode 165: The Secret to Not Giving a F*ck About Social Media Likes (And Why Your Business Depends On It) Hi bb If you've ever felt that gut punch when your post gets 2 likes instead of 78, if you've ever spiraled into "am I doing something wrong?" because your engagement dropped, if you've ever let the fear of crickets stop you from making that invitation... this episode is for you :)) I'm sharing the unfiltered truth about my own journey from engagement-obsessed people pleaser to someone who posts with 2 likes and gives (almost) zero f***s because I know my people are there, watching, waiting for what I'll say next. And PS. Your biz "success" is not dependent on vanity metrics, I promise. This isn't just about social media strategy - this is about the core wound work that every female entrepreneur has to face when she decides to put her heart's work out into the world. What we dive into: Why your childhood rejection wounds are running your business (and how to stop them)The energetic shift that happens when you disentangle from external validationHow I went from high engagement/no money to low engagement/good moneyThe delusional beliefs you need to cultivate to stay in the game (heh)Why your people don't owe you likes, comments, or any validation at all Your art matters. Your message matters. Your people are there - even when they're not clicking that little heart button. Come to The Time Freedom Challenge - we're on day 2, so we have 3 more live days together! It's not too late to join us as we move from "wtf why am I always so behind" to ease, flow, and moving WITH the purring entity that is TIME. $25. This is for the women who are ready to stop performing their lives and start living them. Let's fucking go. Come to a free 1-1 coaching connection call with me: https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/Schedule You know those calls where you spend 45 minutes trauma-dumping to a stranger who then uses your vulnerabilities as ammunition for their sales pitch? Yeah, we don't do that patriarchal transactional nonsense here. What actually happens: 45-50 minutes of real dream life mapping - We dive deep into your current landscape and step into your future self through desire inventory work10-15 minutes exploring working together (only if it feels aligned)Zero pressure, maximum clarity - You leave with a personalized roadmap whether we work together or not The magic happens because you work WITH your nervous system, not against it. When you're in stress response, your brain literally can't see the bigger picture - it's designed to hyper-focus on details for survival. Your job on the call is to show up as you are. My job is being your external observer, connecting dots you can't see from inside your own activation. This is for: Highly sensitive women who are both spiritual AND grounded, scientific yet intuitive. Secret witches who don't quite fit traditional new age spaces but crave something deeper than purely logical approaches. If you're tired of performing your life and ready to remember who you actually are underneath all the conditioning - let's talk :)

I just got back from a Byron Katie retreat and I am still integrating what just happened. I went thinking I'd be doing the work on my relationship trauma and stuff, you know, the usual... but what came up was so much deeper and more unexpected than I could have imagined. This wasn't just some feel good weekend retreat LOL. This was six hours a day of sitting in the abyss of consciousness, questioning everything I thought I knew about myself, and discovering how to love the ravaging of being a human EVEN DEEPER. Damn damn damnnnn. The gifts are still coming through in my dreams, in my daily worksheets, in ways I'm still unpacking. Listen in for the tea.
