Manage episode 496120228 series 3674173
We welcome multi-hyphenate professional Stefanie Raccuglia to the podcast for an insightful conversation about authenticity, therapy, and personal growth. Stef shares her journey from dance and theater to becoming a somatic therapist specializing in helping women work through complex trauma.
• Stef explains her work as a "multi-hyphenate" professional combining therapy, choreography, movement coaching, and retreat leadership
• The challenge of balancing constant self-analysis as a therapist with just experiencing life without processing everything
• How musical theater provided representation for Stef as a dancer in a larger body, particularly through seeing Hairspray on Broadway
• The contrast between New York City roots and Colorado living, and how each place shaped Stef’s personal development
• Advice for authenticity: "Be honest with yourself about what you really want, how you really feel, and say it out loud"
• Book recommendations for women seeking to reconnect with their bodies and intuition, including works by Glennon Doyle and Brené Brown
• Stef’s mission to help women "feel loved, know their worth, know their power, and be comfortable in their own skin without shame"
