Welcome to
The Living Current

A podcast for tuning into the rhythms beneath the surface

The Living Current is a podcast about healing, creativity, and connection. It is a space for thoughtful conversation, embodied insight, and meaningful exploration. Here, science, story, and lived experience come into relationship.

​

Each episode explores the deeper forces that shape how we live and feel. These include nervous system rhythms, trauma and memory, intuitive knowing, creative process, mythic patterns, relational presence, and the quiet pull of something greater than ourselves.

​

Some episodes are personal and reflective. Others offer education, research, and tools for integration.

​

All are rooted in the belief that healing and transformation begin by listening: to the body, to experience, to what moves just beneath awareness.

​

This show offers space to slow down, to feel what is already alive, and to remember how to move with it.

What we sense often knows more than what we say.


The body speaks in currents. Subtle. Instinctive. Wise.

 

Sometimes the most important truths arrive without language.

What shapes us most is often felt, yet goes unnoticed.

From nervous system patterns to ancestral memory,


The deepest influences often live beneath the surface.

What Lives in This Space

The Living Current is a space for layered conversations.
For complexity, rhythm, and resonance.
For the quiet truths that often live beneath performance or urgency.

You will hear voices from therapists, artists, educators, researchers, musicians, bodyworkers, and everyday people. Some speak from research. Some speak from lived experience. Some offer story. Some bring practice.

Together, we explore how unseen forces shape how we heal, relate, create, and navigate change.

Recurring themes include:

  • The nervous system as a guide for presence and self-understanding

  • The creative process as a mirror for transformation

  • Attachment, co-regulation, and the biology of connection

  • Somatic healing and memory stored in the body

  • Myth, archetype, and symbolic patterning

  • Subtle perception and intuitive awareness

  • Spirituality that is relational, grounded, and embodied

  • Grief and emergence

  • Cycles, timing, and seasonality

  • ​​​​Practices of listening, pausing, and returning

  • Storytelling as integration and meaning-making

  • The tension between structure and flow

  • Belonging and the body’s sense of home

  • Embodiment as language and inner navigation

This is a space that honors both mystery and method.

The poetic and the practical.

The individual and the collective.

It welcomes clarity, confusion, return, and becoming.

What You’ll Hear

Through conversations with somatic therapists, artists, educators, musicians, healers, and everyday storytellers, we explore:

Healing and Embodied Wisdom

Trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and how the body holds wisdom and memory.

 

We explore how presence in the body supports integration and how healing unfolds through sensation, attunement, and awareness over time.

​

Resilience and Renewal

Navigating life transitions, grief, and change. Honoring cycles of growth, reorganization, and emotional healing.

 

We speak to the nervous system's capacity to adapt and the human ability to find meaning in the midst of uncertainty.

Patterns and Lifestyle Choices

How rituals, practices, habits, and mindset shape our well-being, relationships, and sense of alignment.

 

We explore how our daily lives reflect deeper patterns and how intentional shifts can create space for greater presence and change.

Teaching and Sharing Knowledge

Bringing together lived experience, research, and somatic frameworks to deepen collective understanding.

 

These episodes offer insights from educators, therapists, and guides who translate knowledge into real-world care and practice.

The Science of Healing

Where neuroscience, psychology, and body-based practices meet and how we bring those insights into real life.
 

We explore how scientific understanding of the brain, body, and trauma supports healing, regulation, and relational depth.

Attunement and Relational Presence

How we feel and are felt in connection. The rhythms of co-regulation, safety, empathy, and nervous system synchrony.
 

We explore what it means to truly meet another and how healing often happens in the space between.

Ancestry, Lineage, and Intergenerational Healing

Exploring the threads we inherit and how they live through the body, behavior, and belief.


We speak to the ways ancestry, culture, and intergenerational memory shape healing, identity, and the path toward collective repair.

Creativity and Flow

How music, movement, and art connect us to deeper rhythms of expression, insight, and transformation.


Creativity becomes both a healing path and a way of knowing. It mirrors life's cycles and invites authenticity to emerge.

​

Values and Inspiration

Staying connected to what matters. Clarifying what guides our healing, relationships, and creative paths.

 

These conversations explore the inner compass that orients us through challenge, purpose, and becoming.

​

Resources and Support Systems

The tools, communities, and frameworks that help sustain healing, creative work, and personal growth.


From inner anchors to outer structures, we explore what helps people stay grounded, inspired, and supported on the journey.

Spirituality and Connection

Attuning to intuition, inner guidance, subtle energy, and belonging to something larger than the self.
 

We approach spirituality as something felt in the body and lived in relationship. It is not a hierarchy but a current of presence.

Myth, Meaning, and Collective Story

How personal and cultural narratives shape the way we heal, grow, and make sense of experience.
 

We explore archetypes, ancestral threads, and collective memory as living forces that influence identity, transformation, and belonging.

Timing, Rhythm, and the Wisdom of Slowness

The natural pace of growth, healing, and becoming.
 

We honor the intelligence of pause, rest, and rhythm as essential elements of transformation, integration, and creativity.

​

Environment, Place, and Belonging

How the spaces we inhabit shape our nervous system, identity, and sense of connection.


We explore our relationship with land, nature, sensory environments, and how ecological awareness supports regulation, creativity, and rooted presence.

Episodes blend presence, reflection, and practical insight.
Some are personal and story-based.
Others offer structured tools and frameworks for integration.

You will hear:

​

  • Thoughtful conversations that hold space for complexity

  • Grounded language about trauma, attachment, and regulation

  • Creative perspectives on art, expression, rhythm, and rest

  • Subtle spiritual themes rooted in embodiment and relational presence

  • Inquiry that respects both knowledge and not-knowing

  • Invitations to pause, reflect, and feel into what is already here

 

Each episode offers space to arrive, explore, and reconnect.
 

At times there may be a gentle invitation to settle in.
Other times a question is offered to carry with you as the conversation unfolds.
There may be moments of pause, where silence itself becomes part of the exchange.

 

These conversations are less about arriving at final answers and more about listening for what is alive. They invite you to come back to your own sensing and let it move you in its own time.

Who This Podcast Is For

  • Therapists, coaches, and body-based practitioners

  • Clients and seekers on a healing or creative journey

  • Artists, writers, and musicians attuned to rhythm, presence, and emotion

  • Educators, researchers, and cultural thinkers interested in embodiment and meaning

  • Spiritual seekers and contemplative minds exploring connection and subtle awareness

Whether you are supporting others, deepening your own work, or simply sensing a need for reconnection, this podcast offers a space to listen, to learn, to feel, and to return.

What People Are Navigating

You may be in a season of transition.
You may be letting go of an old role or reaching toward a new sense of self.
You may feel tired, inspired, uncertain, or curious.
You may be longing for rhythm, connection, or meaning.

You do not need to have the words.
This is a space where you are allowed to pause. You do not need to be in a process you can name.

To feel.
To listen again.
And to trust what emerges.

How to Listen

There is no right way to engage with this podcast.
You are welcome to start anywhere.
You might choose an episode that speaks to your experience.
You might listen slowly over time.
You might pause and return as needed.

​

Each episode follows a gentle rhythm:

​

  • A short embodied invitation to arrive

  • A central conversation or reflection

  • A question or insight to carry forward

  • A quiet whisper of what is next

 

This pace is unhurried, leaving room for presence.
You are invited to move in the way that feels right for you,
and to trust what takes shape along the way.

Why It Matters Now

We live in a time of overexposure and overdrive.
We are surrounded by information but often disconnected from meaning.
Many of us are overextended, under-resourced, and unsure where to begin.

The Living Current offers something different.
A slower rhythm.
A more honest conversation.
A space that holds emotion, thought, body, and spirit as one field.

It invites us to reconnect.
To slow down.
To ask better questions.
And to return to what feels true.

More Than a Podcast

The Living Current lives alongside my work as a somatic therapist, educator, and facilitator.
It reflects a wider commitment to body-based healing, trauma integration, creative rhythm, and relational presence.

More than a podcast, it is a gathering place.
A way of listening for what moves beneath the surface.
A field of connection where the wisdom we carry can be seen and shared.
