Finding Grounding Within Our Bodies: Somatic Tools for Navigating the Season Ahead

I have such special episode for you today featuring somatic educator, writer and artist Abigail Rose Clarke (you might remember Abigail from season 2 of the podcast in one of my favorite episodes ever— link below). Today’s recording is extra special, as it was recorded live at Split Rock Bookstore (my favorite local bookstore)!In this episode we dive into Abigail’s new book, Returning Home to Our Bodies: Reimagining the Relationship Between Our Bodies and the World. Abigail shares tips and tools for finding grounding and support within our very own bodies, especially during times of overwhelm, stress or turmoil. Abigail and I explore the power of awe and curiosity, we discuss what it means to be in relationship with the world around us, and Abigail offers tips for how we can stay rooted in love, even when our lives are challenging.We recorded this episode back in October, but the timing for airing it couldn’t be better as we head into the holiday season, when it’s so easy to get untethered from ourselves due to seasonal stress, family dynamics and expectations (not to mention the current political climate). I think you’re going to find Abigail’s wisdom incredibly nourishing, and I hope it will help you navigate the season ahead with a wider perspective, deeper grounding, and a bit more grace. EPISODE LINKS* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* One-on-one sessions with Nicki: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/coaching-and-cooking-sessions* Listen to my last episode with Abigail: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/abigail-rose-clarke* Abigail’s website: https://www.abigailroseclarke.com/* Find Abigail on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.rose.clarke/* Buy a signed copy of Abigail’s book: https://www.splitrockbks.com/book/9781623179380* What it Takes to Heal, by Pretis Hemphill: https://www.splitrockbks.com/book/9781623179380 This is a public episode.
