Too Human with Nurse Nell
by Danelle
My job as a trauma informed and Existential Kink somatic coach is to lead you back to yourself through RADICAL approval. Self-help can be an endless circuit of constantly trying to “heal” from your humanness. My job is to help you embrace your messy and adorable humanity with so much love, humor, kindness, and understanding. My philosophy is: All parts of you are innocent. I help you relate to all your parts in a novel & magical way that will change how you see yourself and, therefore, everything else. As within, so without :)

She helps magical people end patterns, eras, and identities withritual and somatic integration. helping people grow their magick through good deaths is one of her favorite things, along with studying consciousness and hermetics and, of course, the Great Mystery.in our convo, we went into what it means to ritualize death -- death of an old story, an old identity, a version of yourself that never got its send-off. Noelani talks about the alchemical process and how most of us are completely culturally starved of tools for the death phase --the part where we actually let something decompose so something new can form.we also got into her work with the goddess babylon, why she brings lusty, sensational, panache-filled energy into underworld journeys, the way parts of us will literally stop time to protectsomething that was never properly grieved, and what saturn and the moon have to do with efficiency and transition <3oh, and we talked about time. and fascia. and indra's net. and the 12th house as the house of exiles.this one is for the people who love deep diving into consciousness and the fantastical mystery of it all find Noelani + work with her:· website: thescarletmuse.com· instagram: @noelani_june· book a connection call:cal.meetergo.com/noelani-june/connection-call· her book the silver thread — on workingwith the moon, death, and being alive -- is available on her website· threshold crossing (her 1:1 5-week container) · gatherings on zoom -- check her website/socialsfor upcoming dates

194: The vagus nerve is an ethernet cord, shaman sickness, & coming back to the child-like Self -- part 2 with Gazit Chaya Nkosi
we're back!!!for part 2 with the magical Gazit Chaya Nkosi. I just gotta say - I'm so grateful to know this human. Every convo we have is a revelation....and we went deeper this time — into the places where nervous system science and spiritual technology become the same thing. into what it means to stop trying to be fixed and start being witnessed.Gazit Chaya shares how they first found their way to the nervous system through DBT at rock bottom -- newly postpartum, marriage dissolving, suicidal...and how polyvagal theory was the first thing that ever said to them: this is not your character. this is your capacity.we talked about the amygdala hijack and why highly sensitive people aren't dramatic or difficult -- we're just wired to go into threat faster and come back slower. and how the shame we experience is a feature of a system that needs us disconnected from our own animal wisdom <3we talked about how the goal was never to be calm, but to be honest. and so much more...you're in for SUCH a treat :)connect with Gazit Chaya here:www.therootedcoop.comwww.youtube.com/@therootedcoop

190: Meet us in the field beyond right + wrong: a beautiful + multifaceted conversation with Gazit Chaya Nkosi
holy lordt this convo lit me the f*ck upthe other day, I sat down with Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) on their birthday (!!!what an honor!) and what unfolded was one of those conversations that made me feel so grateful forcreating a podcast in the first place :)I had a consult with them ~2 years ago, and they've stayed in my mind ever since. I felt affected by their presence - their radical acceptance, their openness, their depth. Gazit Chaya is guided by the Rumi line: "out beyond rightdoing and wrongdoing there is a field -- I'll meet you there." Their first 35 years were spent trying to be "good" while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where "good" was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm -- a life truly worth living, filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, TheWork of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.In this episode 190: Meet us in the field beyond right + wrong: a beautiful + multifaceted conversation with Gazit Chaya Nkosi --We talked about what it's like to build a relationship with your suicidal ideation instead of white-knuckling it away. We talked about how the entire hierarchy of "good" mental health presentation is rooted in white supremacy and dominance dynamics.We even talked about ALIENS (actually we kinda started with this subject hehe). Gazit Chaya has had contact with ET's and it's awesome and trippy and beautiful. We talked about why "regulated" doesn't mean calm -- it means your nervous system is working exactly as designed (nervous af lol)We alsoooo talked about the magic and neuroscience of Byron Katie's Work.If you've ever felt like you were the problem, like being here was something to apologize for, like you had to earn your place in your own life -- this episode is for you.Gazit Chaya is extraordinarily special and we are having a PART 2 of this interview coming in April <3 Connect with them below:www.therootedcoop.comwww.youtube.com/@therootedcoop

Unscripted + voice half gone from singing too loud on the highway lollllI talk about the core belief I didn't even know was running me. A college experience I kept silent about for years and why. How fighting my body has been making everything worse. And what it actually feels like when seven hours per day of emotional excavation starts to crack something open <3HOPE U LOVE THIS EP.

Book a coaching consult with me: https://calendly.com/nursenell/liberation-roadmap-callPedophiles created our beauty standards. YEA I SAID IT and once you see it, you can't unsee itIn this episode I'm connecting dots between Victoria's Secret PINK rebranding, Les Wexner, the Epstein files, and why you spent your adolescence desperatelyyyyy trying to be beautiful enough to be loved ....and how the wellness industrial complex is running the exact same con, just with better vocabularyI share a personal story about a photographer I worked with at 16, and how my desperate need to be chosen made me almost miss every red flag possible.Your people pleasing, your hyper vigilance, perfectionism, and endlessly trying to "heal" yourself are related. and they're intelligent survival strategies developed inside a system designed by predators to keep you chasing validation you can never quite reach.Let's talk about breaking that cycle, shall we? ;)

186: Invisible, unsexy activism: why your quiet work matters more than you know
Book a Liberation Roadmap Call here (60 mins, free, 1-1). 4 spots have been taken, and 4 spots are left for February. https://calendly.com/nursenell/liberation-roadmap-callYou don't have to perform your activism to prove you careIn this ep - 186: Invisible, unsexy activism: why your quiet work matters more than you know...I challenge the exhausting narrative that you must publicly perform your grief and outrage to be "on the right side of history." I dive into how the attention economy amplifies the loudest voices while invisibilizing (is that a word? if not, it is now cuz it's cool) the foundational inner work that actually breaks generational cycles of violence. If you've been feeling guilt about not posting enough, not being loud enough, or needing to step back from the news cycle to tend your nervous system...this episode is 100% your permission slip. I explore how your quiet processing, shadow work, and nervous system regulation aren't complicity - they're actually REVOLUTIONARY. The violence we see systemically starts in bodies and childhoods, and your personal healing work is literally changing the trajectory of violence in the world. For highly sensitive people, recovering people-pleasers, and anyone feeling burnt out by performative activism culture in these INTENSE times, this episode offers a radically different framework for sustainable engagement <3 <3

185: You don't need another certification. On breaking free from manufactured inadequacy + feelings of never being "enough"
Please rate my podcast if you love it. It only takes a second and really helps my people find this work <3Book a free 60-minute coaching consult with me here: https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/ScheduleIn this episode, I'm revealing one of capitalism's most effective tricks: the manufactured feeling that you're never quite "enough" We've been systematically conditioned to believe we're always behind, always missing some secret knowledge, always one certification away from being "ready"....and it's all by design ;)I dive deep into how this "not enough" indoctrination runs through every area of our lives, but especially shows up for those of us running businesses and doing facilitation work. That voice that says you need more training, more credentials, more expertise before you can truly step into your work? That's not intuition - it's a capitalistic mindf*ck designed to keep you buying and seeking rather than creating and sharing (!!)BUT your unique way of processing, metabolizing, and synthesizing information...the way YOU specifically digest what comes into your reality and create from that place...is completely irreplaceable. There is no certification that can create that for you because it IS you. Your particular constellation of experiences, wounds, gifts, sensitivities, and curiosities creates a lens through which you see the world that literally no one else has.And. sharing your self -- letting yourself be seen - feels terrifying. Let's talk about what's required to move thru that :)

✨Join LIGHT WORK here✨https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/D2oyNkrdListen. I have 12-14 client calls this week, a podcast to record, a course to prep, and about a 100 other things on my plate (that I've put on my plate bc I run my own business afterall ahhahaha BUT STILL). This episode is a candid discussion about how I'm THRIVING within being busy af.There was a version of me a few years ago who would've been laying awake at night, stressed about my ability to "do it all", wondering what was wrong with me for not being able to "keep up" like everyone else. That version of me would've been in full hustle mode, abandoning everything I know I need, grinding myself into the ground to prove my worth, and just hating my life in the process.But here's what I've learned: Our relationship to work ripples out to literally everything in our lives. And the stories we tell ourselves about how hard things have to be? They're just that -- stories.Stale-ass-stories.In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I'm relating to my very full week that is causing me to thrive within it, including:Overwhelm = abundanceCelebrating being completely spent at the end of the day How to drop the belief that you should or can do everything Why your brain is lying to you about how stressful things are going to beThe fusion of structure and flow you actually need (especially if you have an ADHD brain like me)This is the foundation of what I'm teaching in my new course Light Work - a 6-day exploration into getting a lot of shit done without stress, overwhelm, or burnout. It's $27, it's self-paced, and honestly? It's the chef's kiss secret sauce to being a human who wants to give value/feel fulfilled in this world.✨Join LIGHT WORK here✨https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/D2oyNkrd

I'm tracking your patterns like a map. ⭐ Within 10 business days: Your bespoke tailored-to-you recording lands in your inbox - a ~40 minute video mapping your patterns, blindspots, and concrete steps you can take moving forward. ⭐ Forever: You keep the recording to revisit whenever you need the refresh, a recalibration, a reminder, or a hit of truth. I'm not going to tell you to "love yourself more" or "set better boundaries" or "just believe in yourself." I'm not going to gaslight you into thinking your exhaustion is a personal failing. I'm not going to pretend that your blocks exist in a vacuum, separate from the world you're navigating as a woman. I'm going to tell you the truth. The truth about what's blocking you.The truth about why your nervous system responds the way it does.The truth about what's been asked of you and why you're tired. And then I'm going to give you practical + magical + somatic tools to shift it. Not "work harder." Not "push through." Not "manifest better." Actual nervous system regulation. Embodied permission. The reclamation of your energy for yourself 💜https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/donttw9J/checkout..You've spent your whole life being told you're "too sensitive."Too emotional. Too intense. Too much. OR maybe "not enough"So you learned to dim yourself down, feel overwhelmed when faced with any conflict, and people please out the wazoo. And as a result, you keep spinning in the same cycles -- Overgiving, resenting, retreating, repeat...and end up feeling fuzzy and unclear about the next steps forward. ...and wonder why things feel so hard for you. BLEH.well....your sensitivity IS NOT something to "fix." It's ancient wisdom.And it's about damn time to WIELD that wisdom. In this episode, I guide u through a Timeline Jumping New Year's practice designed to help you intentionally set the energetic foundation for 2026 <3I guide you through a hypnotic meditation that works with your unconscious mind - the part of you that operates in symbols, metaphors, and sensations. This is a powerful alchemical timeline process SO treat it as such. Create a space where you can be uninterrupted for 45 mins or so. Here's what happens when you do this work:→ You'll have a clear energetic MAP for your year ahead - and you'll notice exactly what needs to shift and how to shift it moving forward→ You'll process emotions that are still holding onto old pain, finally giving them what they need so they stop sabotaging the sh*t outta your life→ You'll receive direct wisdom transmission from your future self - the version of you who has already solved what you're struggling with now→ You'll anchor into your body the felt sense of your inevitable success, making the path forward feel clear and tangible rather than confusing, fuzzy, + overwhelming→ You'll have a symbolic touchstone (your gift from future self) that reconnects you to this wisdom whenever doubt creeps inThis is the power of somatic work. You're not just thinking your way through this-- you're rewiring your nervous system to recognize that your highest timeline is the most natural path.Drop me a message on Instagram @nurse_nell or FB @Danelle Gal with any insights or revelations that come through for you during this practice.

180: The Heroine's spirillic journey and why using the wrong "map" to life has been f*cking you up
Please rate my pod if u luv it!!! OFFERS:LEAD: 6-Day Self-Leadership Intensive (last day to join for $22 + get all materials for life)https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/LvjnabFK/checkoutFree 60-min coaching consult:https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/ScheduleLife/Business Audit - $44 (async, 40-min personalized recording):https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/offers/donttw9J/checkout..Ep. 180: The Heroine's spirillic journey and why using the wrong "map" to life has been f*cking you upYou've been conditioned by every story you've ever consumed.every movie. every myth. every fairytale. Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey - the monomyth that shapes virtually all Western narrative - taught you that transformation looks like: leaving home, slaying dragons, conquering enemies, claiming external rewards, ascending the mountain, returning victorious.Linear. external. achievement-based. conquest-oriented....and it's epic. truly. but it's not your whole story.Because the Heroine's Journey doesn't ascend. she descends.She goes into the underworld ...into her rage, her grief, her desires, the parts she's been taught to exile as "too much" or "not enough." She meets her shadow. She reclaims what was rejected. She discovers that darkness isn't the opposite of life - it's where life begins.ex. Seeds germinate in dark soil. babies grow in dark wombs. stars are born in cosmic darkness. every beginning starts in the unseen.but we've been taught -through centuries of patriarchal / racist / toxic religious/spiritual framing- that light equals good and darkness equals evil. That the descent is suffering. that going inward is indulgent.What if the cave you've been taught to fear is actually where your power lives? What iffffff :)In this episode, I'm sharing Lesson 1 from my LEAD course -The Heroine's Spirillic Journey. We're going to the roots. the foundational work that changes quite literally everything (because how you ORIENT yourself to life is everything):I'm talking about:why the heroine's path spirals instead of climbs (and why you're not broken for not fitting the hero's mold)the sacred necessity of darkness - Kali, Lilith, Hecate, the parts of yourself patriarchy tried to erasemoonlight versus sunlight: the illumination that comes from within, not from external sources demanding you be seen before you're 'ready'why neurodivergent and highly sensitive women experience this journey with particular intensity (the unmasking, the reclaiming, the both/and of being too much and not enough simultaneously)where you might be on the map right now (spiritual aridity? the descent? integration?)the heroine doesn't conquer. she integrates <3

179: An existential kink + somatic coaching session: radical permission to be INAUTHENTIC
YAY I’m so excited to share this episode with u all!! Pls rate my podcast if you love it <3In this session, I walk a wonderful woman through a whole coaching session. It was a profound and swirlinggg exploration of people-pleasing, dissociation, and the ways we dim our light to stay safe. What we covered -The moment at age 7 when "getting in trouble" for authentic joy created a lifetime pattern of resignationHow a psychiatric break at 19 revealed years of emotional dissociation - including a childhood contract to "never cry again"The radical act of scrambling her own memories to avoid emotional charge :oBeing labeled "manipulative" as a child and learning to turn off her natural influence and powerWhat happens when you stop trying to fix the "problem" and instead give yourself full permission to fake laugh, people-please, and perform. Very surprising + beautiful stuff was uncovered in this sesh and I’m so grateful to this magical woman for allowing me to share it with all of you <3 Through EFT tapping and existential kink principles, we flip the script.Instead of shaming the parts that aren't "authentic enough," we celebrate them. We give awards to the Oscar winning performance of **inauthenticity** We find the cosmic joke in desperately wanting people to like us.And something shifts. Completely.This sesh goes deep. But it's also surprisingly funny - because when you stop taking the story so seriously, there's freedom on the other side...Over 6 days (December 18th-23rd), we're going to the ROOTS of self-leadership - the deep foundational work in LEAD.

178: Can you handle excitement + happiness? What if stress makes you healthy? An update from my time off
Rate my podcast if you love it plsss!! HI BABES!! This is an update from my week off. WOwwwwww it's challenging for me to take time off bc I legit love my work/working so much lately. Episode 178: Can you handle excitement + happiness? What if stress makes you healthy? An update from my time off <3I coached myself every day in my time off to release any fears about taking time off - like being scared of my own excitement (heh..), capacity, and that whole "balance" trap we get caught in.We're diving into what happens when things really start working in your life and/or biz. Like, offers selling out in minutes...or things going well in your relationship...or just feeling a sense of peace + calm - and your nervous system is like "wait, can we actually handle feeling this good?" "IS IT SAFE TO FEEL GOOD when the world is on fire in many ways??"I share my whole self-coaching process from this past week, the childhood memories that came up (getting tickled as a kid? traumatic and relevant lol), and how I work with those extreme all-or-nothing beliefs that try to convince us everything's gonna fall apart.Plus some thoughts on tiredness, stress, and surprise reflections on potentially having kids.This is basically me thinking out loud about what it means to be a highly sensitive, creative human running a business while also trying to, you know, actually live your life. If you've ever felt like you're "too much" or wondered if you can actually hold all the good things coming your way, this one's for you...Join LEAD: Relaxed in your body. Clear in your voice.

What you'll discover in this audit: 🔥 The exact nervous system patterns keeping you stuck (and why it makes perfect sense given what you've been navigating)🔥 Why you keep hitting the brakes right before breakthrough moments🔥 Why you aren’t making the money you want to make in your business and how to change that🔥 How to hold the paradox: you’re not “the problem” AND you're the one who has to change for things to change🔥 How to access that place of relaxed motivation where you're not performing anymore🔥 The stressful beliefs you've been carrying that were never yours to begin with (and how to give them back) I'm not going to tell you to "love yourself more" or "set better boundaries" or "just believe in yourself."

And then I'm going to show you how to hold the paradox: None of this is your fault. AND you're the only one who can change it.

Business & life is a. psychedelic wormhole: the real talk you need ;) - I'm breaking down how building your business (and your life) means moving through contraction and expansion, over and over again. The entitlement, the fear of failure, the focus on people who hate you, the unprocessed trauma that keeps showing up in your work - none of it means you're broken.But you've been acting like there's something wrong with you for all these very human things. We're gunna chat about: ENTITLEMENT Obsessing over people who hate you while ignoring everyone who loves you (heh)Thinking you have to do everything alone because you're "responsible for everything"Why "regulation" doesn't mean staying calm—and what it actually meansAnd my personal favorite: resisting your feelings so hard that your nervous system literally creates the exact thing you're trying to avoidI'm breaking down the sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous system thing, existential kink, and a simple hack that transforms contraction into expansion that honestly seems too easy but IT WORKSThis is about radical acceptance of your weird, messy, feral humanity and using ALL of it as creative fuel.

Like you're carrying their emotions long after the conversation ends? Yea i bet ya do :)Because you're highly sensitive AND conditioned to rescue others. This is NOT a flaw, it is a GIFT And, learning to wield and work with your sensitivity is crucial. If you're a human who feels everythinggggg, this episode is for you.I'm pulling back the curtain on how I work with clients through their deepest emotional experiences -- tears, rage, grief, all of it - without burning out or needing hours to decompress afterward. And no, this doesn't mean shutting down your empathy or building walls around your heart.In this episode, I share my exact framework for staying grounded and regulated even when clients are in the THICK of their emotions. You'll learn why not victimizing your clients/people is the most compassionate thing you can do, why trying to "rescue" people actually blocks their healing, and how radical non-judgment creates a psychedelic-level container.If you're tired of emotional hangovers, people-pleasing patterns, or feeling like you have to carry everyone's pain, this episode will show you how to hold space with presence, curiosity, and lightness - so showing up for people actually feels nourishing instead of depleting.What you'll take away:The difference between compassion and absorption (and why one will drain you dry)How to stay in co-regulation when clients/people are activatedWhy emotions contain universes of wisdom when we stop trying to fix themPractical ways to process your own emotions so they don't accumulateThe energetic shift that makes "holding space" feel lighter and more fun

In this potent + hilarious + fun + deep conversation with Felicia - she interviews me!!! Ep. 171. FELICIA INTERVIEWS ME!!!

This episode is for anyone who has a hard time talking about things that have happened to them, has spent years keeping the "bad" parts locked away, who thinks there's something fundamentally broken about them that needs fixing, and/or has experienced any kind of trauma.We chat about:Why telling your story (even when it terrifies you) is one of the most radical acts of healingHow the witnesses to your trauma can sometimes cause more harm than the original perpetratorThe somatic experience of carrying sexual trauma in your body -- and what actually helps release itWhy your "too much" sensitivity is your superpower (not something to fix or overcome)How practices like Existential Kink can help you alchemize pain into pleasure for deeeeep cellular radical healing and restorationThe difference between shame that keeps you small and the kind of radical self-acceptance that sets you freeWhy running, walking, and forward movement literally rewire your brain for trauma processingHow to stop being terrified of your own triggers and start seeing them as portals to freedomI share my own story of sxxual assault, the decade of silence that followed, and the moment I decided to stop giving my abusers power by staying small + quiet.This conversation gets really real about intrusive thoughts, including one about peeing on people hahahahah....and learning to love and laugh with the messy, vengeful, supposedly unacceptable parts of ourselves.Listen below 💎

170: Praying to the mystery: from Mormon housewife to mystic with Sharli
I was literally just having a casual connection call with this awesome woman Sharli and within like...2 minutes I had this intense intuitive pull to ask if she wanted to turn this convo into a podcast episode so here we are lolSharli's been practicing Focusing - a therapeutic approach all about focusing attention on internal sensations to gain insight/clarity - for over 30 YEARS.and what I love is she's made it her own.it's not some rigid technique...it's become a way of being for her.here's what we dove into during this convo:→ what the fck is Focusing (and why your body already knows how to do it)→ the gentleness required to actually heal vs. the forcing we're conditioned to do→ how your pain just wants a WITNESS...not a fixer, not a savior, just someone to SEE it→ why that part of you that wants ice cream all day isn't sabotaging you - it's trying to tell you something→ Sharli's journey from devout Mormon to "praying to mystery" (LOVED this part of our convo and legit teared up)→ visibility as practice - from "Sharli show-off" as a kid to decades of hiding to finding her way back→ how symbols (tarot, astrology, your body's sensations) all speak the same language→ trusting your intuition when it makes ZERO logical sensethe thing that hit me hardest:Sharli talked about how in focusing, you don't DO things to your pain.you don't breathe light into it.you don't try to transform it.you just...let it BE there.you get curious about it.and it changes on it's own.that's the exact opposite of how we're taught to "heal" right??we're always trying to fix and force and improvebut what if the work is just...being WITH yourself?what if the mystery is where all the magic lives? ooOoOoothis episode is for you if:you're exhausted from trying to heal your way out of being humanyou've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much"you're curious what happens when you stop forcing changeyou want permission to not have all the answersyou're ready to let your body lead instead of your overthinking logic brainSharli shares how Focusing helped her through leaving the Mormon church, finding her spirituality again, reclaiming visibility after years of hiding.and honestly?this conversation reminded me why I do this work.because when we give ourselves permission to just FEEL what we feel without trying to change it...when we witness our pain instead of weaponizing positivity against it...when we trust the mystery instead of needing certainty...everything shifts.not because we forced it.but because we finally stopped fighting ourselves.grab your headphones + make some tea.listen in.

168: Unlearning tension: how to actually let your body relax with Aimee Takaya
You know that tension you're holding in your neck right now??Or the tightness in your stomach you've grown so used to that you barely notice it anymore? Yeah—this episode is about that :)Aimee Takaya is a brilliant Hanna somatic educator who guides people through the gentlest, most powerful form of release. Her approach isn't about pushing through pain or forcing your body into submission. It's about teaching your nervous system that it's *finally* safe enough to let go.In this WONDERFUL convo, we explore how chronic tension is literally muscle memory holding onto past experiences—car accidents, stress responses, childhood patterns, all of it encoded in the way we move (or don't move) through the world. Aimee walked me through some of her techniques live on the podcast, and I actually felt my neck tension release in real-time. It was wild.We dive into:· Why pushing harder and stretching more can actually keep you stuck in pain patterns· How your body might be holding resistance for really valid reasons (and why that's okay)· The difference between clenching and actual functional movement· Why being "bad at sports" as a kid might have been a nervous system thing all along· The accumulative magic of consistent somatic practice—and why it's foundational, not optional· How water therapy and somatics together create this dreamy parasympathetic state· Why co-regulation with practitioners is essential for those of us holding space for othersThis episode is for my highly sensitive, people-pleasing humans who've been white-knuckling their way through life, trying to control everything by staying tense and braced. If you've ever felt like you're pushing against your own nature just to keep it all together, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are...Aimee's Bio & links: Aimee Takaya has been guiding transformative movement for over 13 years. First as an international yoga teacher and now as a Hanna Somatic Educator and Transformation Facilitator.

166: Weaving a life of embodied joy with the magical **Aj Smit**
When you meet someone who literally sparkles with joy and makes you remember what it feels like to be fully alive...Aj Smit is one of those magical humans for me <3She's an intuitive energy worker, speaker, henna artist, and author of "The Red Thread: Weaving an Embodied Life of Joy" - plus she's a hot chocolate connoisseur, glitter enthusiast, and one of the most full-spectrum humans I've ever had the absolute pleasure of working with.I worked with Aj about a year ago when she was doing some tech and energy support work in my business, and y'alllllll - she is everything you could want and more in a collaborator, friend, and coach. She would send me these adorable packages with glitter and sweet notes, and when we'd work together on tech stuff, if I was feeling overwhelmed, she'd guide me back to connection with myself first. Always meeting me where I was, and infusing our sessions with humor and so much love. She's since transitioned fully into her calling as an intuitive coach and energy worker - and I truly believe that's exactly where she should be. In this deliciously rich + deep conversation, we dive into:How Aj's work evolved from necessity - she needed the healing, so she learned it, then others started asking for what she hadThe practice of joy (because yes, it IS a practice) and how she went from being a "husk of a human" during burnout to someone who radiates aliveness and walks her talkHer journey through severe carpal tunnel that forced her to stop everything - lifting, writing, henna, VA work - and how that led her deeper into energy workWhy grief and joy live door-to-door, and how embracing the full spectrum of human emotions actually creates more capacity for pleasureThe revolutionary act of choosing joy as rebellion in a world that wants us separated and sufferingHow to become your own loving witness and say the quiet parts out loud without judgmentThe magic of parts work and why your soul's deep river voice is always good medicine <3 Aj embodies a truth that joy isn't frivolous or naive - it's necessary medicine for ourselves and our world. Her energy is infectious, her wisdom is deep, and her commitment to helping women remember their own radiance is beautiful and important.

Please rate my podcast if you love it!!! Book a free 60-minute consult with me here: https://danelle-gallo.mykajabi.com/Schedule..“What if I lose it all?” A client asked me recently. "What if the other shoe drops? What if I'm not prepared for something bad happening? If I really let myself feel happy and good and peaceful...what if I lose it all?"And you know what I told her? It makes so much sense that you feel this way.We believe on some level that if we're too happy, too joyful, it'll all be taken away. So there’s safety – protection - in staying small, staying worried, staying prepared for the worst.If we’re always kind of unhappy or numb, it’ll just be another day in the neighborhood. Nothing new here. Nothing to really lose. But here’s the thing. You’ve already lost it all if you’re not enjoying it now. It's already gone. This podcast episode is actually a masterclass that I hosted a couple of months ago, and I wanted to share with you because it's so potent + relevent Joy is resistance. Joy is the shiniest rebellion. Fascist regimes and oppressive systems are on a mission to steal your joy, expression, and creativity. Your life force.Joy is expansiveHopeful And powerful.Your joy is medicinal. Your joy makes you ungovernable. So let's disrupt the story that joy makes you unsafe, shall we?Listen and let me know what lands for you.

159: The UnShaming Way: A Radical Healing Conversation with David Bedrick
When you come across a teacher whose words hit you on such a deep, somatic, soul-based level that they fundamentally change how you see yourself and the world...David Bedrick is one of those teachers for me.I first discovered David through his collaboration with Simone Seol in The Shame Clinic for entrepreneurs, and his work has been an absolute game-changer for my life and business working with highly sensitive women who've experienced trauma.Here are a few snippets of what I've learned from David: He once said, "Shame isn't just a feeling - it's an internalized vision of ourselves."When we believe something is fundamentally wrong with us, that message gets recorded into our consciousness. It severs our trust with our innate intelligence and wisdom. We stop looking inside for what's right about us and instead constantly seek validation and answers from the outside.It's not just about what happened -- between you and the perpetrator(s) -- it's about whether anyone witnessed your pain with love (including yourself).Without that witness, as David explains, the wound gets 'wrapped up and freezes,' and instead of thinking 'I need healing,' we think 'what's wrong with me?'In other words, when our pain is met with denial, dismissal, or gaslighting, we internalize those shaming responses and begin to treat ourselves as if we're the problem.In this profound conversation, David and I explore:Why there's no trauma healing without shame healingThe revolutionary concept of the "witness" and its impact on healingHow to trust your body's intelligence instead of pathologizing your responsesWhy shame acts as a protective shell around our core woundsHow to become your own loving witnessThis convo is an invitation to see yourself through loving eyes and reclaim authorship of your own story 💙Where to Connect with David Bedrick & Find his Work:📖 His Latest Book: "The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling Shame" - available in print, Kindle, and audiobook wherever books are sold🌐 Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/ - Find free resources, courses, and his complete body of work 📱 Instagram: @david.bedrick https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/🏫 Santa Fe Institute for Shame-Based Studies: David's institute where he trains therapists, coaches, and healers in UnShaming techniques and offers workshops for personal development📚 Other Books by David:"Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology" "You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption" "Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change"

157. Unchecking the Boxes: From Insecure Overachiever to Bada$$ Leader with Coco Duan
I'm feeling so JOYFUL to share the absolute gem that is Coco Duan with you all!! This conversation is so special. I always feel so freakin' good in Coco's energy and I KNOW you're going to fall in love with her too.Coco Duan is a former Fortune 500 senior executive turned life and leadership coach and the author of the book "Unchecking the Boxes."She helps high-achieving women executives become powerful, confident and authentic leaders by guiding them to become the CEO of their inner lives. Her coaching is anchored in nervous system regulation, emotional healing and mindset change, leading to lasting leadership transformation from the inside out. AKA the REAL work that actually creates lasting change.In this deliciously honest convo, we dive into Coco's wild journey from what she calls being an "insecure overachiever" - checking every single box imaginable while silently drowning (relatable) - to becoming the grounded, bold, and absolute bada$$ woman she is today.She climbed the corporate ladder in America while living in what she describes as "constant fear" for 42 YEARS of her life. She described how COV!D times literally saved her life by forcing her to slow down long enough to realize she felt absolutely miserable despite ALL her external success. What followed was a complete life overhaul: divorce, leaving corporate America, and doing the deep nervous system and emotional healing work that changed everything. You'll learn:· Why "return to safety" is the first step to any real transformation· How to process emotions like waves instead of stuffing them down· The difference between pushing yourself from lack vs. desire (this hit DEEP)· Why you literally cannot lead others until you lead yourself (the tea bb)· How to expand your capacity through "small doses" of discomfort· The power of creating your OWN definition of success (instead of society's BS cliche versions)Whether you're a high-achiever feeling trapped in your own "success" or someone ready to step into authentic leadership, this conversation offers a refreshingly honest look at what it really takes to become FREE.Coco's energy is just so gooooood - pure sparkly magic - & she's living proof that you can uncheck ALL those boxes and still become more successful than you ever imagined.

From such an early age.What followed were decades of counting. Every calorie. Every pea on my plate. But here's what's wild - during that same period, I was also obsessively counting spare change I'd find on the ground, calculating exactly how many hours of sleep I was getting, documenting my mood every single day.The more out of control life felt, the more I counted and documented and controlled.No one ever asked me the questions I ended up asking myself about my "disordered" eating. ....questions that eventually freed me from the obsessive cycles.

I share how communing with the future version of yourself can be your greatest asset in breaking through blocks and expanding what your nervous system can receive.I explore why trauma isn't about what happened but how your body responded—and how those responses are still playing out in your present and limiting your future visions. As a trauma-informed life coach, I believe that to move forward, we need to understand how the past informs the present, and how the present shapes the future.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
My job as a trauma informed and Existential Kink somatic coach is to lead you back to yourself through RADICAL approval. Self-help can be an endless circuit of constantly trying to “heal” from your humanness. My job is to help you embrace your messy and adorable humanity with so much love, humor, kindness, and understanding. My philosophy is: All parts of you are innocent. I help you relate to all your parts in a novel & magical way that will change how you see yourself and, therefore, everything else. As within, so without :)
