In this enlightening episode of The Maven Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Jenny King, Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Center on Trauma and Adversity at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. With over a decade of experience as a mental health therapist, Dr. King has dedicated her career to equipping helpers and healers with the tools they need to navigate systemic and interpersonal challenges, fostering resilience and collective well-being.

• Why community care is critical for healing and growth.

• Nervous system regulation and its role in stress management.

• An introduction to somatic therapy and practices for trauma-informed healing.

• The importance of getting back to basics with simple, sustainable self-care strategies.
