97: Part 10/12, Get In Your Body, Mama: Self-Discovery Through Somatics: Building a Relationship with Yourself Series In this juicy and soul-stirring episode, Becca Dollard dives deep into what it really means to have a relationship with yourself—especially when you're navigating the identity-melting, heart-expanding rollercoaster of motherhood. Because here's the truth: knowing yourself isn't optional—it's your superpower. Motherhood can crack you wide open in the most glorious (and sometimes messy) ways, and that's where the growth lives. Becca shows us that the journey back to self isn't linear—it's embodied, emotional, and wildly personal. Through the power of somatics, you reconnect not just to your body, but to your truth. Boundaries become acts of love, not just protection. Relationships stop being formulas and start becoming sacred dances. You get to love what you love, ditch what doesn't fit, and let your emotions be the fuel that moves you. Growth isn't a destination—it's a ride. And you're worthy of enjoying every twist, turn, and revelation. You'll hear: -Why most of us don't actually know who we are (hint: society's been messing with us) -Why the sacred power of somatics helps us reconnect with our bodies -How contrast and chaos in relationships are actually pure gold for personal clarity -Why boundaries are the ultimate act of self-love—and not just buzzwords on Instagram -Plus, some simple-but-potent homework to help you find out what lights you up (and what's gotta go) To reach Becca, find her on IG Becca•Somatic Practitioner•Life Coach (@themotherhoodmentor) or email her at [email protected] And as promised, here is a list of Somatic Sensory Words: Temperature Sensations Warm Cool Hot Cold Burning Icy Tingly warmth Chilled Feverish Movement/Flow Sensations Buzzing Tingling Fluttering Pulsing / Throbbing Vibrating Wavelike Swirling Expanding / Contracting Floating Trembling Twitchy Quivering Rippling Undulating Density/Weight Sensations Heavy Light Dense Airy Weighted Sinking Floating Pressured Buoyant Grounded Hollow Empty Full Swollen Bloated Tension & Release Sensations Tight Tense Gripping Clenched Bound Braced Knotted Aching Sharp Cramping Stiff Locked Loose Relaxed Soft Open Melting Unwinding Energetic/Emotional Somatic Qualities Numb Charged Electric Alive Activated Buzzing Spiky Smooth Radiating Tinged (e.g., "tinged with sadness") Jittery Grounded Solid Fragile Leaky Dissolving Effervescent Other Unique Somatic Descriptors Prickly Crawling Sticky Dry Wet Slippery Velvety Rough Gritty Levitating Collapsing Shimmering --------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure.
