Hey Besties! Today, we welcome Sarah Baldwin. Sarah is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma-informed Life Coach dedicated to supporting individuals in understanding their reactions, feelings, and patterns, emphasizing that these are not indicative of anything wrong, but rather everything being right with the person. She focuses on showing individuals that they are safe and can get unstuck, which leads to thriving and living the life they're meant to live.
Violetta and Sarah will unpack everything from why your nervous system might be more tangled than your headphone cords, to the truth behind why we sometimes mix up safety with danger. Ever wondered why your relationships feel like a soap opera? We've got the lowdown on that too. And for those moments when you're feeling more 'meh' than magical, we'll guide you through the maze of moods to find your way back to fabulous. So, buckle up and prepare to confront the uncomfortable with a heap of insight - because understanding your inner workings should never be boring!
