The Art of Relating

Erin and Lisa interview me on their “I Decide Darlings” podcast about my journey of healing from trauma and how it led me to help others do the same. I share my story as a child of an alcoholic, healing the mother wound, and overcoming sexual trauma, bulimia, body dysmorphia, disorganized attachment, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and low self-worth that consumed a third of my life, before finding my path as a healer.  Work with me 1:1: Somatic Spirit Journey Join my 6-month program Awakening the Wild Woman: Awakening the Wild Woman Song: Ayla Nereo “Seeds"

Natalie Kashani interviews me for her online summit “Surviving to Thriving.” I tell my story of how I became a somatic facilitator and open up about my most recent dark night of the soul that required me to purge generations of women's pain around body-image and sexual trauma. We also connect on our shared experiences as artists and healers, and how we view trauma-healing as an art. Episode Highlights 06:53 - My most recent dark night of the soul that triggered me back into body dysmorphia, depression, and incessant thought loops that happened right before I began my practice helping clients. 14:49 - This dark night of the soul forced me to examine my relationship to my body through my sexuality and facing the sexual trauma from my history. 23:30 - The deeper we get into our embodiment, the hard it is to be defined by titles. 23:54 - I explain why I chose not to go the traditional route of becoming a therapist. 37:13 - My cathartic experience at a retreat processing my sexual trauma.  Follow Natalie Kashani on IG: @iamnataliekashani Join my 3-month program The Art of Relating:  The Art of Relating  Join my 6-month program Awakening the Wild Woman:  Awakening the Wild Woman  Get my digital course to regulate your nervous system:  Life Is Art  Song:  Ayla Nereo “Seeds"  

I have a conversation with my dear friend Lee, who co-founded the modern relationship school for women called Aligned Attraction with her partner, Ani. They guide women who are ready to take a stance of “fierce love" to cut through the illusion of unworthiness and feel deeply safe to be themselves in relationships. Lee is one of my go-to’s to talk to when I'm trying to figure out my own dating life and how to navigate each phase of dating that I’m in. In our conversation, I'm bringing her exactly what's present in my dating life right now, and her nurturing presence and consistent way of showing up is so helpful for me to get some clarity on what it is that I need and how to voice it in an empowered way. Episode Highlights 10:06 - There are plenty of moments where I need to be reminded that I'm worthy and that I don't have to prove myself. 22:45 - One of the things that I share with my clients, most of whom are single and wish to attract the love of their life and create a healthy thriving relationship is treat yourself the way you would want your partner to treat you and become that partner to yourself. 45:53 - Intimacy doesn't mean perfection. It doesn't mean you've in a vacuum done all your inner work and your attachment wounds are healed. Intimacy often means getting messy together and allowing ourselves to be seen first by ourselves. 48:30 - Sometimes when we have a hot and heavy spark, there's a lot of trauma bonding that's happening and if we don't do the work to maintain the spark, then it can burn out just as fast as it started. Join me, Lee and Ani for a free live workshop on Valentine's Day:  Becoming Magnetic Join my 3-month program The Art of Relating:  The Art of Relating  Join my 6-month program Awakening the Wild Woman:  Awakening the Wild Woman  Get my digital course to regulate your nervous system:  Life Is Art  Song:  Ayla Nereo “Seeds"  

Welcome to the first episode of The Art of Relating. My dear friend Zori and I talk about Authentic Relating and the practice of Circling. She helps me workshop my way through some intense moments of freeze when it comes to communicating while dating consciously.Get ready to ignite your soul and discover a new level of connection. Episode Highlights 03:17 - For the first time in my life, I'm finally taking a step back and consciously dating and assessing my options with several people with more context of understanding attachment styles, with more awareness to look for what's suited for me rather than seeing “who will like me. 06:55 - Listening to how other people navigate dating allows me to try it out and see if it works for me. Without this context, I get stuck in a freeze state of not knowing what to do. 13:26 - It’s easy to still operate from the place of holding back for fear of triggering my abandonment wound. However, learning tools for authentic relating helps me filter out the relationships that don’t work for me. 35:00 - This work is about shifting the narrative from not being good enough or worthy of love into having the ability to choose whose right for me. Join my 3-month program The Art of Relating: The Art of Relating Join my 6-month program Awakening the Wild Woman: Awakening the Wild Woman Get my digital course to regulate your nervous system: Life Is Art Song: Ayla Nereo “Seeds"
