In this episode, I talk about how bad I am at listening to my body—and why it's so important that we do listen. I talk about how it's often as simple as getting the blood pumping or getting the tears flowing. I also touch on trauma and PTSD and what to do if we have disassociated from our bodies. And, as always, all of this comes with deep, deep self compassion. So much love.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

• Vix the New Age Hipster (she's awesome)
• Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski (one of my favorite books on female sexuality—not mentioned in this episode, but if you want to get in touch with your body, this is a great resource)

Throwing Light is for people who believe in the restoration and healing of the world and who aren't hung up on outdated dogma that seeks to dictate what that's supposed to look like. I'm interested in connecting with people who are actively working toward healing and restoration for themselves and the world.
