Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Somatic practices have become a buzzword as the new supplement you can take to “calm” yourself down, to shake off a trauma response, and maybe not binge eat. 

They can feel alluring. When you’re struggling with food, you just want an answer. There can be panic and desperation at willing to try anything to make sure you won’t binge again. You may find yourself trying to shake, or tap, or dunk your face in ice-cold water. This may feel calming for a few minutes and then you watch yourself walk into the kitchen and grab food.

Gah! So frustrating!

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: 

  • The purpose of somatic practices
  • Questions to ask yourself to choosing a somatic practice
  • The difference between fixing and friending 
  • Bodily feedback to look out for when a somatic practice resonates

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
