    “Practices for Embodied Living: Experiencing the Wisdom of Your Body" | author Dr. Hilary L. McBride with host Divya David | Book Club

    Dr. Hillary L. McBride joins us in conversation with Divya Rosaline David to discuss her latest book, “Practices for Embodied Living: Experiencing the Wisdom of Your Body.”Practices for Embodied Living offers an experiential guide-centered on prompts, activities, and opportunities for reflection-to support readers who want to practice embodiment. This approachable, visually stimulating book helps individuals and groups resist cultural myths about ideal bodies, get in touch with the goodness of their bodies, and more fully inhabit themselves.Topics include disembodiment, stress and trauma, sexuality, body image, pain and illness, oppression, and more. Each topic includes various exercises to help readers restore the mind-body connection.Author Hillary McBride, PhD, is a Registered Psychologist, researcher, podcastor, and author, but underneath all of that she is a human, who loves asking questions about what it means to be human, how we heal and grow, and what it means to be a body. She publishes written works for community and academic audiences about embodiment, trauma, eating disorders, mental health and spirituality; her bestselling book The Wisdom Of Your Body was released in 2021, Practices for Embodied Living was released in early 2024, and her next book Holy Hurt: understanding and healing from spiritual trauma will be released in spring 2025.Her award winning CBC podcast Other People’s Problems was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times as essential listening, and she is on faculty with the Psychedelic Somatic Institute, and the co-developer of Katalyst Mental Health Ketamine Assisted Therapy program. What makes her feel alive is her daughter’s laugh, her love for her partner and close friends, asking unanswerable questions, and spending time in or near the ocean.

Great content

Thank you for putting fragile but important issues out there for discussion. We can’t serve in His kingdom without those conversations!

Father Richard Rohr episode - Great!

The only thing that would’ve made this podcast episode better would be having Father Richard Rohr on with you. Then I would listened to three of my favorite people on earth, together at one time! Be Well! Well done! Please keep up the great work Shane and Tony!
