Tightly Wound

by Tightly Wound

I know how this sounds. Tightly Wound is a podcast for control freaks trying to loosen their grip without losing their taste. No granola, no performance, no conversion story. Just an honest, occasionally reluctant look at alternative healing, spirituality and wellness: what actually works, what doesn’t, and why letting go is so hard when you like being in control. Hosted by Andrea Bottiani, a brand and creative strategist with fifteen years in fashion and lifestyle (early days at Nasty Gal, her own brand, now her own consulting agency in Los Angeles). She reads the fine print on everything. She’s also spent the better part of a decade quietly doing the woo: hypnotherapy, somatic work, energy healing, readings. She’s not a convert and she’s not here to sell you crystals. She’s a type A, skeptical, very analytical person trying the spiritual stuff for real and reporting back. WHAT WE COVER Hypnotherapy and hypnosis. Somatic channeling and somatic healing.
