In this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I am so grateful to have writer and teacher Catherine Simone Gray join us to discuss her journey through motherhood, intimate violence, and reclaiming pleasure.
Catherine talks about her memoir 'Proud Flesh,' and how her experiences have shaped her understanding of body wisdom, healing, and sexuality.
We explore her process of writing in a trauma-informed manner, the challenges she faced in her postpartum healing journey, and the profound impact of body wisdom.
Catherine also reads a passage from her book and shares a reflective exercise for connecting with moments of care and creativity in our daily lives.
I highly recommend listening to this deep, beautiful exploration of resilience and transformation.
