What if everything you thought you knew about somatic healing was wrong?

Aimee welcomes Chelsea Horton—a board-certified dance and movement therapist, somatic coach, and founder of Healing Embodied—to debunk common myths about what it really means to "feel your feelings" and heal somatically.

From the misconception that healing requires dramatic catharsis to the oversimplification of nervous system regulation, Chelsea shares why true somatic work is a gentle, layered, and deeply personal journey—not a quick fix.

If you've ever felt frustrated or confused by the buzzwords around somatics, this episode will give you the clarity and context you need.

Chelsea takes us through:

• Why somatic healing isn't about getting rid of your feelings

• The difference between regulation, capacity building, and trauma resolution

• Why catharsis isn't the goal—and what actually works

• How resistance is always the doorway to the real work

• Why true safety comes from within, not from controlling your environment

And so much more!

What if the food on your plate is silently driving your anxiety, depression, and stress—without you ever knowing it?

Aimee Takaya sits down with Luis Mojica, a somatic educator, certified holistic nutritionist, and author of the book Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma.

Together, they explore the hidden link between what we eat and how our nervous system responds, revealing that food isn't just fuel or medicine—it's a powerful environmental force that can either amplify our trauma or help us heal it.

If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of emotional eating, orthorexia, or unexplained mood swings after meals, this episode will forever change how you see food.

Luis takes us through:

• Why food can trigger a fight-or-flight response just like a threatening event

• The difference between stimulants, depressants, and balancing foods

• Why "healthy eating" can actually worsen anxiety if your nervous system isn't ready

• How food allergies can sometimes be trauma responses in disguise

• A simple somatic practice to track tension and ask your body what it needs

And so much more!
