Hey podcast fam, in this solo I’m going deep. I’m sharing real stories, old wounds and shadowy parts I don’t usually put on the internet, to show you how I processed a big emotional trigger and a psychosomatic injury in just a few days. If you’ve been getting hooked by the same relationship triggers or watching yourself self-sabotage even when you know better, this story will reveal an alternative approach forward.
This is the first in a series I’m calling “So what are you going to choose?”.
I tell a fresh-in-the-body story from last week. How I said yes to performing a deeply emotional embodiment piece at Outspoken, dropped into an old wound onstage, and two days later my body “injured” itselfout of nowhere. That injury led me straight into a relationship trigger and straight into the exact work I teach: parts, protection, regulation and choosing from your centre.
If you’ve ever felt not enough, compared yourself to someone “more” than you, or watched yourself push love away, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of modern disconnection or longed for a more meaningful way to walk through all the change that is currently existing in this world, this convo is a must listen.
Recorded in the lush mini-jungles of Santiago, Guatemala, this episode explores the practice of threshold counselling with my good friend and legend, Tei Taiyari, founder of Coyotei Counsel.
A counsellor, death doula, writer, and edge-walker, with a background that bridges deep ecology, imagination, and rites of passage work, Tei is devoted to helping people navigate life’s transformative thresholds with meaning and courage.
Together in this conversation we unpack what it means to cross a threshold, not just as an idea, but as a lived rite of passage drawn from anthropology and ecology. Tei shares a deep, raw, and vulnerable story from his own childhood, a moment that truly highlights the power of threshold crossings and how they can shape the trajectory of our lives.
From here, we widen into themes of shame and self-worth, disconnection from land and culture, and the lingering impacts of colonisation that still impacts how we relate to ourselves and the world.
You’ll also hear about practical ways to reconnect with your inner wilderness, deepen your sensory awareness, and reclaim a sense of belonging, not only to community, but to the more than-human world. This conversation offers both grounded tools and soulful reminders that the wild wisdom you seek is already alive within you.
Hope you enjoy fam.

Amenti MoveMeant is a prolific community-based, psyche-somatic movement school and method founded by Gil ‘The Grid’ Gomes Leal. Rooted in ancient Kemetic wisdom and shaped by Gil’s background as a professional hip-hop dancer, Amenti is a transformative body-mind-spirit practice that explores what it means to be fully human through movement, psychology, shamanism, and symbolism.
They hail from Rotterdam in the Netherlands and are currently on a global tour, sharing their unique workshops & performances that blend dance, Jungian psychology, somatic practices, and communal ritual work.
Ever since witnessing their dance transmissions on stage at Boom Festival in Portugal back in 2023, I knew their work would change the world.
For me, Amenti stands for so much more than the prolific dance troupe and school they are. They’re a living example of what can happen when you choose to look at the cards you’ve been dealt in life, the dark and the light, and choose to play them in a way that takes responsibility for your highest aspirations and service to the world.
For me, Amenti stands for what is possible when you trust yourself, your tribe and spirit through life’s biggest trials and tribulations, and turn it into something beautiful.
In this conversation I’m graced with the presence of Gil, the founder, as well as Tamara, a lead facilitator who’s been there from Amenti’s origins.
Enjoy folks, this one’s an absolute banger.

Hello beautiful soul fam, today I have for you a guest that's assteezy as she is impressive, a slayer of dance floors as much as she is an inspiring teacher of self-love & acceptance through movement, the iconic Kelly Cohen.
Kelly is a Moroccan-French-Israeli soul dancer and is best known as a founder of her own dance retreat ‘Meraki Muse Movement’ in Bali & her facilitation of ‘Twerk After Werk’; a dance movement based in hip-hop, advocating for a safe, non judgemental space for woman to gain the confidence we all deserve.
We begin the episode with an exploration of Kelly’s diverse cultural roots and discuss the impact our heritage can have on our lives, she shares stories of being badly bullied as a child and how she used dance and theatre to reclaim her power, and finally we explore the concepts of somatic movement, musicality, flow state, and mirror work as tools for personal growth and expression.

Zera is a multi-discipline performance artist, specialising in the interconnection between somatic dance and contemporary circus. What makes her stand out from the crowd is her ability to combine her unparallelled skills, along with her own unique approach to storytelling.
Whether she’s running her own movement and circus festival, or she’s creating viral content on YouTube, Zera’s mission is to inspire her heart-felt community to connect to something greater than themselves.
Hope you enjoy the roosters in the background.
