  S4 E16 The Dancing Therapist: How Movement Heals What Words Can't

  Aug 3, 202638 minS4

  What if the key to emotional healing wasn't found on a therapist's couch, but on a dance floor? In this episode, I'm joined by Ronnie - aka the Dancing Therapist - an integrative therapist in training who has spent years exploring the profound connection between movement, music, and mental health. From a life-changing retreat rooted in somatic dance, to eight and a half years of sobriety, Ronnie's journey is a powerful reminder that our bodies know things our minds haven't caught up with yet. We talk about: Why the opposite of depression might be expression What somatic therapy actually is and how movement fits in The science of "collective effervescence" - and why dancing together is healing How to start moving for healing, even if you're self-conscious Navigating sobriety in a drinking culture - and building a social life without alcohol Why you are not broken, and what it means to come back to yourself Whether you're curious about therapy, exploring sobriety, or just feel like you've lost touch with your body —-this conversation will leave you wanting to move.

  S4 E15 Are You Healing Or Are You Hiding?

  Jul 27, 202618 minS4

  We've become so fluent in the language of healing - boundaries, protecting our peace, doing the work - but what if some of what we're calling healing is actually hiding? In this solo episode, Alex explores one of the most important distinctions in resilience: the difference between healing and hiding. They look, without judgement, at the places where wellness language can quietly become a cover for avoidance, fear, and staying stuck - and why it's often so hard to spot when you're in it. You'll hear about: Why healing and hiding can feel almost identical from the inside The role of the nervous system and capacity in keeping us small Common ways hiding disguises itself as self-awareness What healing is actually supposed to do (hint: make your life bigger ) Six signs you might be on the hiding side of things How to start asking better questions of yourself This episode is honest, warm, and full of the kind of insight that might just hold up a mirror - in the best possible way.

  S4 E14 No One's Getting Out of This Alive - So Wear the Sequins. With Stylist Rachel Gold

  Jul 20, 202638 minS4

  Celebrity stylist Rachel Gold has spent 35 years dressing some of the most recognisable faces in entertainment - and what she's learned goes far deeper than clothes. In this episode, Rachel joins us to talk about why so many women over 40 lose their sense of style identity, and why that loss is rarely actually about fashion. We explore how body changes, menopause, people-pleasing, and decades of putting everyone else first can quietly erode the way we show up - and how something as simple as getting dressed can be the first step back to yourself. We cover: Why the most confident people in the room are often the most insecure How your wardrobe reflects your self-esteem (not the other way around) The "chicken and egg" of body confidence and dressing well Why the people around you might not want you to change The three A's: Acceptance, Action, and Authenticity Why you should stop saving your best things for a special occasion What a monk's perspective on mortality has to do with your sequin dress This is a warm, honest, and surprisingly profound conversation about style, self-worth, and what it really means to take up space as you get older.

  S4 E13 The Hidden Cost of Being 'The Reliable One'

  Jul 13, 202617 minS4

  Being called "reliable" sounds like a compliment - but what if it's actually costing you everything? In this episode of Notes on Vulnerability, resilience coach Alex unpacks the hidden cost of being the strong one, the dependable one, the person who always holds it all together. While reliability can feel like a strength, over time it can quietly become a cage - leading to exhaustion, resentment, disconnection, and a creeping sense that you've lost touch with who you really are. Alex explores: Why the "reliable one" identity is often built on self-abandonment How this pattern tends to surface in your 30s and 40s - and why The link between nervous system capacity and burnout Why letting go of this identity can feel like loss — and why that's okay What real resilience actually looks like If you've spent years being everything to everyone else and something inside you is starting to feel deeply tired of it - this episode is for you.
