Show Notes:
In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate world of somatic integration and its profound impact on our emotional and cognitive well-being. Our guest, Christoffel Snaders, brings over 30 years of experience in coaching, psychotherapy, and leadership training to our discussion, offering deep insights into the dynamic interplay between our head, heart, and gut.
Christoffel Snaders highlights that human behavior is not fixed but is a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of neural, emotional, and bodily systems. When these systems align through somatic coherence, individuals can achieve a state of attunement where body, mind, and emotions communicate fluidly. This alignment fosters clarity, resilience, and adaptive connections, which are essential for effective emotional regulation.

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.
