Expansion PSA: my 4-month deep mastermind (Expansion) is opening its doors to the waitlist only on May 5th (5.5 at 5:55 PM EST). If you’ve been feeling the pull to dive in, make sure you’re on the waitlist right here—spots do tend to fly (as in, fully booked within a day or two kind of fly).
And about this very special episode:
The person that changed my life is here. We’re diving deep into somatics, nervous system regulation, and self-sabotage with my somatic therapist, sister, and somatic queen, Isabel Georgina Taylor (@isabelgeorginataylor). This conversation is one of my most personal and expansive to date—a behind-the-scenes on what actually changed my life last year, how SE (Somatic Experiencing) helped me melt my freeze, and why you cannot override your nervous system’s definition of success.
🌬️ Isabel’s story: from failing her grades and surviving trauma in Uganda to building a purpose-led career in somatics
🌬️ What somatic experiencing actually is and how it works
🌬️ The link between overwhelm, procrastination, perfectionism, and the nervous system
🌬️ What self-sabotage really means (hint: it’s not a personality trait)
🌬️ How to feel safe taking big leaps — without frying your system
🌬️ Why success might feel unsafe, and how to work with that truth
🌬️ What happens when you work with your body’s intelligence instead of against it
🌬️ Nervous system snacks you can use right now to calm down & come back online
🌬️ The number one reframe that changed my life and business last year
🌬️ our ✨special announcement✨
