In this episode, Grace is joined by somatic coach and author Sheridan Ruth for a powerful and grounded conversation about nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and the concept of somatic intelligence. Sheridan shares her personal journey—from living with chronic PTSD to discovering the depth of somatic work—and how tuning into the body became the foundation of her transformation.
In this episode, they discuss:
- What somatic intelligence really means (and how it differs from emotional intelligence)
- Why traditional therapy or yoga alone might not be enough for deep healing
- How slowing down can feel unsafe—and what to do when it does
- The role of perfectionism in burnout and dysregulation
- Why tuning into your body isn’t just healing—it’s a radical act of self-trust
Sheridan also offers simple ways to begin tuning into your body—starting with the question: What am I aware of right now?
