    Healing, Sacrifice & Midlife Awakening: Near-Death, Menopause & the Power of Surrender with Dr. Claudia Welch

    What if the crisis you're trying to fix is actually an invitation? In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with Dr. Claudia Welch to explore near-death experiences, menopause, identity collapse, and the spiritual art of surrender. After surviving a life-threatening case of MRSA pneumonia, Claudia found herself stripped of certainty, control, and even aspects of her professional identity. What emerged wasn't just physical healing—but a profound shift in how she relates to death, leadership, and the second half of life. Together, we explore: The true meaning of "sacrifice" — to make sacred What illness can dismantle (and reveal) about identity Why menopause is mythological—not just hormonal The danger of over-identifying with being the expert "Sell your knowledge, purchase bewilderment" Death awareness as a clarifier of what truly matters The Vanaprastha (forest dweller) stage of midlife Leadership beyond hustle and control This episode isn't about optimizing harder. It's about loosening your grip. If you're navigating midlife, health changes, burnout, or a quiet internal shift you can't quite name—this conversation will meet you there. Notable Quote: "Be ready to leave everyone and everything at any time." Listen in for a deeply reflective dialogue on surrender, maturity, and what it means to lead—and live—from depth rather than dominance.     Connect with Dr. Claudia Welch: Website: https://drclaudiawelch.com Menopause Chronicles: https://drclaudiawelch.com Book: Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life If this episode resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone navigating their second act.

    Podcast Interview Marketing for Wellness Pros with Chloe Williamson

    About this episode: In this strategy-rich conversation, Cate Stillman is joined by Chloe Williamson, senior campaign manager at Interview Valet and specialist in podcast interview marketing for wellness professionals. Chloe brings deep insight into how healers, coaches, and practitioners can grow their influence, expand their reach, and attract aligned clients simply by sharing their expertise on other people's podcasts. With years of experience booking authors, wellness pros, and thought leaders on top-ranked shows, Chloe explains the real mechanics behind podcast visibility: why long-form conversations convert better than social media, how to position your message so you stand out to hosts, and what wellness pros need to understand before hiring an agency or pitching themselves. Together, Cate and Chloe break down how podcast interviews function as a scalable, sustainable marketing engine—especially for wellness professionals who want authority, trust, and meaningful relationships with potential clients. Key Takeaways: Podcasting as Authority-Building Podcast interviews create instant credibility by letting people hear your story, values, and expertise in a deeper, more human format than typical online content. Thought Leadership Over Algorithms Unlike short-form platforms, podcasts let you speak to highly aligned audiences who already want meaningful transformation—making lead quality dramatically higher. The Right Message Matters More Than Big Shows Chloe explains how niche, mission-aligned podcasts often outperform large shows when it comes to conversions and connection. Strategic Positioning Gets You Booked Wellness pros often pitch from the wrong angle. Chloe outlines the messaging, transformation story, and clarity needed to stand out to podcast hosts. Long-Game Marketing That Compounds When repurposed correctly, one interview becomes months of content—expanding visibility, SEO, and brand assets. Aligned Client Attraction Podcast listeners make decisions based on resonance, not pressure—leading to clients who are more committed, more prepared, and more invested.

    Body-Based Healing & Reconnection: Elizabeth Stauder on Somatic Transformation

    About this Episode In this episode, Cate Stillman sits down with Elizabeth Stauder, a somatic transformation coach, trauma-integration guide, and founder of the Body and Soul Sanctuary. Known for her ability to translate deep nervous-system wisdom into practical healing pathways, Elizabeth blends somatic science, ancestral wisdom, and lived experience. After a near-death vaccine injury catalyzed her journey into trauma healing, she dedicated her work to helping others reconnect with the parts of themselves that were severed during overwhelm or cultural conditioning. Her community-based model empowers people to heal through connection, co-regulation, and embodied belonging. Together, Cate and Elizabeth explore how trauma disconnects us from our inner resources, how community accelerates nervous-system repair, and why somatic reconnection—not willpower—is the foundation of true transformation. Key Takeaways: Trauma as Lost Resource: Trauma isn't a flaw or a wound to analyze—it's a disconnection from an inner resource that once kept you whole. Healing begins when we learn to reconnect with that missing piece instead of reliving what went wrong. Nervous System Repair Through Somatic Work: Elizabeth shows how somatic practices help the body remember safety, belonging, and coherence. When the nervous system realigns, old patterns naturally dissolve without force or struggle. Community as a Biological Need: Healing accelerates when we're surrounded by people who listen, attune, and move with us—just like birds or fish syncing in nature. Without this co-regulation, the journey becomes isolating and heavy. Reframing Cultural Narratives of "Brokenness": Modern culture tells us to handle everything alone, but rugged individualism only deepens disconnection. True transformation requires shared signals, support, and belonging—not self-reliance in isolation. The Power of Co-Regulation and Embodied Presence: In a safe group, nervous systems communicate nonverbally, creating an environment where insights arise organically. When we heal together, the unhealthy layers fall away because they're no longer needed.
