What does it really mean to say yes to healing?
In today’s episode, Aimee Takaya sits down with Jessica Glose, a somatic breathwork practitioner, yoga teacher trainer, and wellness retreat leader, for a deep dive into the power of retreats, nervous system regulation, and honoring the full spectrum of human emotion.
Together, they explore the nuances of personal healing, the importance of facing discomfort, and how our bodies hold the keys to releasing old patterns.
Jessica takes us through:
- Her journey from small-town beginnings to world traveler and wellness facilitator
- How saying “yes” to retreat initiates deep personal transformation
- How retreat experiences create neurological expansion and lasting transformation
- The parallels between childbirth and personal healing journeys
- Why uncomfortable emotions surface during transformative experiences
- The connection between somatics, nervous system regulation, and emotional release
