Somatics changed the way I show up in all spaces in my life - organizing, family, work, and community. I found somatic practice when I realized that I had disconnected from my authentic decision making and values-aligned strategy.
My professional goals have always been service and impact driven, towards liberation and resilience for undervalued & underserved communities.

But even within a context of service, my deepest decision making was coming from focusing on the right move or making the correct choice that would make people see me/my work as successful.

The problem was, when I achieved those successes, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy me internally. Somatics helped me move down into my body to feel for what’s right instead of trying (and failing) to figure it all out in my head. 

Somatics improved my ability to identify, name, and metabolize all kinds of feelings, instead of my old pattern of disconnecting and “pushing through”. And it is helping me to shift closer to my longings to be a part of radical, creative, impactful work to get all of us more free. Because…

• I wasn’t going to think my way out of the limitations that have shaped what I believe my life and relationships can be like

• I’ve never been able to think my way out of feeling disconnected from others, and sensing that there’s a way that I have turned away from connection, not knowing another way

• Showing up more grounded + leaderful in conversations that get my heart racing has come from my embodiment, not from my brain

We have to act. We have to practice new ways of being. Getting into our bodies and emerging new ways of  relating to ourselves, our relationships, and our mission-driven work in this lifetime is the path I’m on to move us towards liberation.
