205 - Why Healing Involves Feeling ft. Ailey Jolie

There’s a lot of questionable healing advice online — much of it unqualified, ungrounded, and not backed by true psychological or expertise. Today, I’m joined by the most qualified psychotherapist I’ve ever met. Once a Prima Ballerina, then Miss Canada, and now a Chartered Psychologist (BPS) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner — among many other things — Ailey Jolie joins us to unpack why so many women are out here striving, achieving, chasing perfection, and building dream lives… all while leaving their internal world in quiet chaos. Ailey breaks down the subtle, sneaky ways women perform and present — especially in dating, career, and sexuality — and why recognising these patterns is essential to rewriting your story and actually beginning to heal. We talk about the difference between being busy and being dangerously disembodied and disconnected, and explore the often misunderstood concept of truly feeling emotions. Ailey also challenges the obsession with “release” culture. We explore somatic traps, spiritual bypassing, ayahuasca highs — and why real healing doesn’t come from fireworks, but from slow, grounded integration. This is one for the real healing girls.  ✨ READY TO START YOUR SOMATIC HEALING JOURNEY? ✨  → Free 7 day trial of Daily Devotion (Daily Rituals): HEREDaily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠REDEEM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]  --- 🤍 FOLLOW LOUISE / HEALING HONEYS: 🤍 ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@healinghoneys⁠  ⁠https://www.instagram.com/iamlouiserumball/⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/healinghoneys/ 🤍 FOLLOW AILEY / CONTACT 🤍 https://www.instagram.com/aileyjolie/?hl=en https://aileyjolie.com/ https://in-this-body.com/ https://aileyjolie.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
