Liberation Through Embodied Awareness with Molly Rose
Manage episode 480682697 series 3644218
Hi!! I would love to hear from you!
What if the key to personal transformation isn't about fixing what's broken, but rather becoming curious about patterns that once protected you? Somatic coach Molly Rose joins us to explore how our bodies hold wisdom far beyond cognitive intelligence.
Drawing from her decade of experience in nonprofit management and humanitarian work, Molly reveals how organizations like Clowns Without Borders and Burning Man Project showed her the profound impact of human connection in crisis. Whether performing in refugee camps or organizing community-driven service projects, she witnessed how simple moments of wonder and laughter create resilience against overwhelming circumstances.
Molly defines liberation as "freedom from the pairs"—moving beyond binary thinking that forces us to categorize everything as good/bad or right/wrong. This approach allows us to navigate life's complexities with greater ease and authenticity. Through somatic coaching, she helps clients become aware of their conditioned "shapes" or habitual responses, creating space for new choices instead of automatic reactions.
This conversation resonates particularly for high-functioning individuals who appear successful externally but feel disconnected from enjoying their achievements, or those serving as pillars of strength while carrying the cost somewhere in their lives. Molly shares practical tools like "orienting" to regulate your nervous system during stress, and explains how six months of somatic practice can create rippling transformation.
The most powerful insight? All our strategies for moving through the world developed for good reasons—to protect our safety, belonging, and dignity. When we honor rather than reject these aspects of ourselves, change happens naturally.
