In this episode of Drop the Weight, Elizabeth reconnects with the remarkable Megan Brians, a dear friend and colleague of hers from their SoHo Sanctuary days in New York City.
Now based out of Bend, Oregon, Megan is breaking new ground as an organic intelligence coach, energy worker and massage therapist developing into a new specialty called sexological bodywork training.
Throughout the discussion, Elizabeth and Megan catch up and compare notes on a wild array of topics, including the profound ways that emotional trauma manifests through the body and how it may ultimately be relieved. They also reflect on their shared experiences and contrasting feelings about having recently turned 50.
