🎙️ Dropping Tomorrow: What If It Isn't Yours?

Have you ever wondered whether the fear you're carrying is actually yours?

Or whether some of the beliefs, worries, and patterns that shape your life were absorbed from the people and environments around you?

Tomorrow on The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with transformational teacher and author Gwyneth Flack for a conversation about intuition, embodiment, and learning to reconnect with your own inner knowing.

We explore:
✨ The difference between intuition and anxiety
✨ Why sensitive people often carry emotions that don't belong to them
✨ How to ask, "Is this mine?"
✨ The role of grounding and presence in accessing deeper wisdom

One of the questions that stayed with me after this conversation:

What if some of what you're carrying was never yours to begin with?

Join us tomorrow on the Spiritually Curios Therapist wherever you get your podcasts.

The goal was never the trophy. It was always the freedom.

Nahum Vizakis came back to competitive bodybuilding in 2022, after seven years away and years of deep inner work. He won overall. First place.

And felt completely nothing.

Not because he didn’t care. Because he wasn’t attached anymore.

He wasn’t chasing the dopamine hit.
He wasn’t feeding the ego.
He appreciated it, and then he was ready for dinner.

He said that’s what true self-mastery feels like, not the absence of feeling, but the absence of being pulled apart by it.
I’ve been sitting with that one.

Because I think so many of us are waiting to feel a certain way before we do the work. And what Nahum’s story shows is that the feeling comes after.

Part 2 of our conversation is live now on The Spiritually Curious Therapist.

Your body isn’t working against you.

It’s working overtime to keep you safe.

The chronic pain.
The fatigue.
The symptoms that don’t fully respond to treatment.

They’re not random, and they’re not a sign that something is permanently broken.

They’re your nervous system doing its job. And that job was learned, which means it can be unlearned.

But not through willpower. Not through pushing harder. Through building actual safety, inside your system.

This is one of the things Nahum Vizakis talks about in his book, The Biohacker’s Guide to Spiritual Bodybuilding, and in our conversation on The Spiritually Curious Therapist.

He came from a completely different world than mine. Bodybuilding, the military, biohacking. And he landed in the same place.

The body knows. We just have to slow down long enough to listen.

Just Dropped 🎙️

It’s live!

Part 2 with Nahum Vizakis just dropped on The Spiritually Curious Therapist.

Our first conversation explored his story.

This one asked:

What happens after the story?

We went into:

→ trauma and transformation
→ spiritual practice vs lived embodiment
→ discomfort and nervous system capacity
→ “spiritual bodybuilding”
→ becoming instead of performing

These are the conversations I’ve been craving lately.

Less What do you know?

More:

What did your body learn?
What changed you?
What happened when life got real?

Would love to hear what lands for you after listening.

Dropping Tomorrow 🎙️

Tomorrow’s episode is a little different.

Back in April we released my first conversation with Nahum Vizakis and I knew at the time that there was so much more to explore.

So we did.

In Part 2 we move beyond the origin story and into the places that often stay under the surface:

✨ trauma and identity
✨ nervous system patterns
✨ fear and self-mastery
✨ spirituality in the body
✨ what it actually means to become who you are

We talk about his idea of “spiritual bodybuilding” and what happens when growth stops being something we think about and becomes something we live.

If you’ve been following my recent shift toward more embodied conversations… this one is for you.

Most people walk into a gym feeling like their body is something to conquer.
That message was never about you.

It was always about keeping you coming back.

My conversation with Emily Young, trauma-informed trainer and somatic therapist, broke something open for me.
She talks about how real support in movement looks nothing like “push harder.”

It looks like ranges instead of rigid targets.
It looks like welcoming the days you almost canceled.
It looks like trusting your body to tell you what it needs, and actually honoring that.

When your body learns it can trust you to hear the whisper, it stops needing to scream.

Emily’s new book, Trauma Informed Bodywork, is out now.

Did you miss it? 🎙️

My latest episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist with is one I keep thinking about.

Lately I’ve really been drawn toward guests talking about embodiment, nervous systems, movement, chronic symptoms, and what it means to actually live inside our bodies instead of constantly overriding them.

This conversation went there.

Emily is a trauma-informed personal trainer and somatic therapist, and we talked about:
✨ why exercise culture can sometimes disconnect us from ourselves
✨ the nervous system and movement
✨ chronic pain and overtraining
✨ learning to trust the body again
✨ slowing down instead of always pushing harder
✨ movement as a form of listening

There was one line that really landed for me:
“The body is the missing piece.”

I honestly think that’s becoming one of the central themes of this season.

Can you imagine hearing this from someone you hired to push you?

said this in our conversation and it completely reframed what I thought personal training could look like.

She’s a trauma-informed personal trainer and somatic therapist.
She shows up to every session with a plan. And she holds it loosely on purpose.

Because a client who feels safe enough to say “I just need to lay down today” is a client who can actually heal.

Emily’s new book, Trauma Informed Bodywork, is out now.

I’m continuing my streak of embodied guests lately and WOW… this conversation with Emily Young was such a good one.

Emily is a trauma-informed personal trainer, somatic therapist, and co-author of the newly released book Trauma-Informed Bodywork.

We explored something I’ve been thinking about so much lately:

What if healing isn’t about overriding the body…
but learning how to listen to it?

We talked about:

nervous system-informed movement
trauma and exercise culture
chronic pain and burnout
mind-muscle connection
embodiment as healing
why “pushing harder” isn’t always the answer
movement as relationship instead of punishment

One of my favorite moments was talking about how many people are actively exercising their bodies while being completely disconnected from them.That one stayed with me.

If you listen, let me know what resonates most.

And Emily’s book Trauma-Informed Bodywork is officially out now — and she encourages folks to grab it through a local independent bookstore if you can.
