What if the stillness you're avoiding is exactly where your healing lives?
In this special episode of The Energy Linguist, Laura welcomes her first guest, yoga teacher Ashley "Pearl" Pearlman, for a sacred conversation about the most overlooked aspect of spiritual work: integration. Together, they explore why we overstimulate ourselves to avoid what rises in silence, how growth requires getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and why anchoring spirit into the physical body is essential for true transformation.
Laura and Pearl also share their personal journeys: the divine downloads in bathtubs, the cross-country moves with no money or plan, and how yoga became the unexpected teacher that brought them to each other and to California.
This is more than a podcast. It's a living transmission. As you listen, you'll be invited to:
- Understand why integration is the most unappreciated (and essential) part of spiritual growth
- Recognize how overstimulation is often unconscious avoidance of what needs to rise
- Get comfortable with being uncomfortable—because that's where all real growth happens
The work isn't done when the practice ends. The magic happens in the integration—the stillness, the settling, the space you hold for yourself afterward.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
