    9. Reparenting: The Path to Self-Love with Shenikka Moore-Clarke

    This episode was a sweet honor to our younger parts and to both of us who happened to have nervous system storms that were actually happening around the same time about 5 years ago! I loved talking with Shenikka about reparenting the parts of us that have core unmet needs. This episode is about inner child healing and moving towards ourselves with love. I discovered that we both did the exact same training in somatic parts work. How fun is that? Parts work and inner child healing is a big part of both of our approaches to helping clients. I’m so grateful we could have this conversation together and that Shenikka graciously led a guided somatic practice at the end. It’s so amazing to me how every time I connect somatically like this I understand a part of me to a deeper degree. I hope you enjoy this opportunity to connect with yourself authentically. ——— ABOUT MY GUEST: Shenikka is a licensed holistic psychotherapist and transformational coach. She operates within a trauma-informed, culturally conscious, and anti-oppressive framework. With close to 20 years of experience, her personal journey with trauma and chronic illness has been my most valuable teacher, guiding me to appreciate the significance of nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, EFT (Emotion Freedom Tapping), and inner child modalities. This understanding has driven me to delve deep into holistic-based approaches. She is a wife and mother, but first and foremost, she is a fellow human being. She specializes in working with women and couples.

    8. Embodying Self-Trust

    During this solo podcast episode, I am talking about moving from self-doubt, self-dismissing, and self-abandonment to self-compassion, self-love, and self-trust! Around 14 mins into the episode I invite you into a guided 6 week group coaching program called "Embodied Self-Trust" where you can practice and learn this new skill of moving towards yourself in a loving, compassionate way that builds self-trust and confidence. It's about powerfully moving through emotions and triggers with more ease knowing you have the skills and resources to do so! The healing journey is about connecting with your hurting, sad, scared, or angry parts and guiding yourself in new ways, inviting healthy expression of emotions, and responding to triggers with compassion and gentleness after years of repressing, dismissing, ignoring, and abandoning your core needs. It's about reclaiming your worth and becoming a confident guide of your nervous system! You're invited to transform the relationship with yourself so that your relationship with others will also be transformed, too. This 6 week coaching opportunity starts Oct. 17th, 2024.

    6. Somatic Tracking Meditation

    In this episode I define what somatic means and share a 20 minute somatic tracking meditation. "Somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body. In short, somatic refers to the connection, awareness, and attunement of your body and the sensations it experiences. This meditation is a great way to begin to connect with the wisdom of your body and guide you to increase your awareness of sensations and emotions held in your body. It is a loving compassionate way of connecting to the parts of yourself that are in need. I hope it helps you come back home to your body! Jill ——— ABOUT JILL: Jill Marie Howell is an emotional healing coach + a somatic practitioner who equips women to powerfully lead themselves thru stress, anxiety, depression, + other mind-body symptoms. She is certified in somatic parts work, sound healing, inner child healing, EFT tapping, and NLP.

    5. The Healing Power of Art with Pamela O'Brien

    I'm so grateful that Pamela joined me on this podcast episode to talk about art therapy and how it helped her organically heal from chronic illnesses. After talking through her personal healing journey, she coached me and guided me through a therapy practice in real time, which you can also do on your own. All you need is paper, a sharpie, and coloring utensils of some kind. I was vulnerable and shared my reflections of the process. I have always loved art and been drawn to creativity. It's pretty amazing how simple messy art can truly help you to connect to yourself and regulate your nervous system. I hope this episode inspires you! And I hope you follow along with the guided exercise to help you untangle whatever still needs untangling! With light and love, Jill ——— ABOUT MY GUEST: Pamela O’Brien is a Therapeutic Art Coach who struggled with chronic illness for 30 years. She has many diagnosis from POTS to mast cell activation disorder to chronic fatigue and internal jugular compression. It all came to a tipping point in 2017 when she became bed-bound and lost her job. It was a time of feeling very lost and isolated, but then she began to paint, even while she was still in bed and that was the beginning of a lot of good changes for her. Now she teaches others how to paint and create as a healing tool! https://www.instagram.com/watercolorhealing https://stan.store/Watercolorhealing Click here for drop in Watercolor Wednesdays for only $5! ——— CHAPTERS: 00:00 Pamela's Journey with Chronic Illness 08:42 Discovering the Healing Power of Art 12:37 Therapeutic Art: Expressing What Words Can't 17:21 Guided Art Therapy Exercise 31:05 Symbols + Colors: Unraveling Emotions 32:41 Embracing Vulnerability 40:33 Transforming Anger into Empathy 44:33 The Power of Simple Creativity ——— JILL’S RESOURCES: 💗 ⁠Download Jill's 5 Somatic Practices to Relieve Anxiety + Overwhelm From Your Mind + Body⁠ Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/dancinginthemess⁠ Facebook:⁠ www.facebook.com/dancinginthemess⁠ Linkedin: ⁠www.linkedin.com/in/jillmariehowell⁠ Email: jill@jillmariehowell.com Emotional Healing + Somatic Coaching + Resources: ⁠www.jillmariehowell.com⁠

    3. No More Fear of Emotions with Kathy Hart Wood

    I’m so grateful that Kathy Hart Wood shares in this episode about her discovery of connecting with the fear she was holding in her body that was limiting her from moving forward in a coaching session with me.

She shares that when you’re able to feel and process your emotions, it is a gift to yourself and others. ——— ABOUT MY GUEST: Kathy Hart is a Golf Mind Coach.
