Ever notice how your body tenses before opening an email from your boss, or how your heart races before sharing your work? That activation you've been trying to suppress might not be the problem. What if you're meant to move through those states, not eliminate them? In this episode, Amanda speaks with Amyee Oen, whose perspective on nervous system healing was forged in the wild waters of Alaska, where survival depends on trusting your body's wisdom completely.
Amyee's journey from ER trauma medicine to somatic healing reveals what conventional healthcare often misses: presence, attunement, and space to actually feel what's happening in your body. After recognizing she was living in chronic fight-or-flight, she discovered breathwork and somatic practices that changed how she inhabited her own skin. Now she guides others through similar transformations in the wilderness itself. As she shares, "We are animals. We're meant to have all of those states and move through them. We're not supposed to be regulated all the time—we're supposed to flow through states like a wave."
This conversation delivers immediately applicable wisdom: track what state your nervous system is in, understand why vigorous movement helps activation but worsens freeze, and learn how nature does the healing work when you know how to receive it. Whether you're successful on the outside but disconnected inside, struggling to use your voice, or exhausted from trying to stay calm all the time, this episode offers a different path.
What would change if you trusted yourself the way Amyee trusts herself in the wilderness—knowing that even if gale-force winds roll in, you've got you? Listen to discover how reclaiming your wildness might be the key to coming home to yourself.
