Hello my friends, and welcome back to the show! I have such special episode for you today featuring somatic educator, writer and artist (you might remember Abigail from season 2 of the podcast—of my favorite episodes ever, listen here). Today’s recording is extra special, as it was recorded live at Split Rock Bookstore (my favorite local bookstore)!
In this episode we dive into Abigail’s new book, Returning Home to Our Bodies: Reimagining the Relationship Between Our Bodies and the World. Abigail shares tips and tools for finding grounding and support within our very own bodies, especially during times of overwhelm, stress or turmoil. Abigail and I explore the power of awe and curiosity, we discuss what it means to be in relationship with the world around us, and Abigail offers tips for how we can stay rooted in love, even when our lives are challenging.
We recorded this episode back in October, but the timing for airing it couldn’t be better as we head into the holiday season, when it’s so easy to get untethered from ourselves due to seasonal stress, family dynamics and expectations (not to mention the current political climate). I think you’re going to find Abigail’s wisdom incredibly nourishing, and I think it will help you navigate the season ahead with a wider perspective, deeper grounding, and a bit more grace.
If you’re looking to dive deeper into these topics (or if you’re looking for a holiday gift idea!), Split Rock Bookstore is selling signed copies of Abigail’s book here.
Finally, if you need more support this season, I’m here to help. In my one-on-one coaching and cooking sessions I work with clients to help them disconnect from the myriad ways we’re conditioned around food in order to find more ease and freedom as both cooks and eaters. I would love to work with you if the work calls to you! Learn more here.
I highly recommend Nicki’s one-on-one coaching sessions. She is an amazing listener who is compassionate and understanding. She has helped me to make sense of my past history surrounding food and guided me to understand why I have anxiety around food. Nicki gave me practical tools to help me listen and build back confidence in my body and begin to trust it again. I can honestly say that I now have more joy as an eater! - Chelsea
