Ep 176: Dancing into Presence with Allyssa Rivera

Oct 31 2024 33 mins  
In this episode, I had a deep and inspiring conversation with Allyssa Rivera, a dance and movement therapist, about the profound role of dance in connecting to the body and our inner worlds. She explained how dance, for her, is a way to "remember the fullness" of her human experience—embodying vitality, exhaustion, and everything in between. This episode is an invitation to embra

Ep 175: The Intention of Communitas with Tracy Holemeyer

In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague, Tracy, for a profound conversation about the power of communal spaces in the healing process. Tracy shares her wisdom on the importance of creating retreat spaces where mystery is invited to lead, rather than the needs of the ego or the pressures of trauma. Tracy reflects on how retreats allow sp

In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I sit down with the insightful Mackenzie Amara to explore a profound topic: the importance of creating ritual spaces that foster transformation through subtraction.

Ep 171: Living on ’high’

Jan 29 2023 18 mins  
In today's episode, I discuss a particular pattern in the nervous system called global high activation. In this state, one can experience a sense of exhaustion or chronic overwhelm from being physiologically in a constant state of high activation whilst that activation is being suppressed by a dorsal vagal shutdown. This is like driving a car with the foot on the gas and the brake

Jan 22 2023 8 mins

Jan 19 2023 17 mins  
In today's episode, I dive into how we can possibly learn to make contact with and support ourselves through recurring bouts of pain in a way that honor's the body's subjective experience. I use a client example to show how body armoring and muscle tension can correlate with each other and how we can respond in an alternative way to manual manipulation. Enjoy the show! Be sure to r

Ep 167: Why this is not a ”self-help” podcast

Jan 17 2023 13 mins  
In today's episode, I discuss why this show isn't built upon foundations or intentions of fixing your problems. "Okay then, Danielle, then what is the show about?" I go into this a bit more deeply in the episode, and I use the James Hillman quote, "Evidently, a genuine solution must have the capacity to stabilize. It must sustain a condition, not merely dissolve it," to give flavor
