In this episode, Molly and I discuss: - Molly’s background and what brought her to writing, somatic work, and space-holding - Her experience with sharing so openly and honestly in her book, Body Full of Stars, and how she navigated sharing vulnerably and truthfully and the impacts it had on those she shared about. - Molly shares her work with expression that goes beyond the act and leads to metabolizing any narrative that has kept you stuck and how this process is experienced in her work. - We also explore triggered moments, overwhelm, and urgency, and Molly offers several super helpful somatic practices for being in your body and regulating your nervous system. - We close with the alchemy between story and nervous system and how we can explore the intersection of story and nervous system within ourselves.
