Resilience Through the Nervous System Lens | September 23, 2025
We explore explore how the nervous system shapes the way we respond to stress, trauma, and everyday life.
I explain the science behind activation, settling, and freeze, and why resilience is about learning to live within your “zone of confidence.” Gina shares her own vivid story of freezing in front of a hippo as a child — a real example of how survival instincts work in the body. Together, we break down complex ideas into accessible insights, weaving in metaphors, cultural wisdom, and practical takeaways.

Human Equals Paradox
Exploring Paradox in the Body | August 2, 2025
What happens when we run into things about ourselves or others that seem to clash or don’t make sense? How can we understand paradox as part of human nature? These are the questions Karen Hawkwood is exploring.
In this conversation, we depart from her usual discussion of paradox from a cognitive perspective to talk about how we experience paradox through the body.
The Mental Breakthrough (TMB)
A Somatic Path from Pain to Presence | June 23, 2025

Betsy’s Renaturing: Healing Through Nature and Somatic Experiences | November 14, 2024

From climate change and political resilience to somatic experiencing and renaturing, we talk about discovering the essence of reclaiming true selves and building coherent ecosystems.
We ended up discontinuing the podcast after a few episodes, but this episode is still a useful conversation about my work so I’m including it here.

Limited-Series Podcasts
Return to Your Nature | 10 Episodes | 2021
Renaturing brings together all the pieces of who we are, at the deepest, most natural level, to a cohesive, conscious whole. This means stripping away what we learned but doesn’t serve us anymore. It means learning, relearning, who we are and how to trust that.
Once we have that knowledge and trust, we get to be who we were always meant to be. It feels like freedom. Or coming home. It feels like pre-destiny because we stray so far, becoming denatured, in our effort to become modern-day humans.
