Did you know the bracing in your jaw, the stiffness in your neck, or even the heaviness in your hips could be from unprocessed trauma? In this episode, Britt explains the science and history of somatic psychology, how the body holds the story of what the mind can’t always name, and explores how each area of the body tells its own story. From the hips, legs, and joints that carry unfinished instinct; to the diaphragm and chest that guard our emotions; to the shoulders, neck, and jaw that brace...

You’ll learn how trauma is stored in the nervous system, what ha...

With her signature blend...
In this episode, Britt opens her heart and shares her journey with alcohol, grief, and trauma, not as a story of failure but as a window into how early nervous system imprints shape the ways we self-soothe.

Britt walks us through her rock bottom experiences, from a jail cell to waking up ashamed after her wedd...

She explores why women are especially vulnerable, how cultural expectations feed depletion, and the nervous system science behind what’s really happening when you hit that wall. You’ll walk away with somatic tools for listening to your body, permission to slow down with...
