This week Jenny is sitting down with the amazing Tammy Chow for a deep dive into the world of somatic therapy and how it plays a key role in healing trauma, especially for women. Tammy is a Somatic Experiencing and Attachment Re-Patterning practitioner, Body Temple Dance facilitator, spiritual alignment guide, artist, and designer. Her work weaves together somatics, neuroscience, creativity and spirituality to help women transform trauma, reconnect with their intuition, and break free from the internalized expectations that keep them from experiencing the uninhibited expression, power, and expansiveness that is their birthright.

In this episode Tammy opens up about her own personal journey—navigating childhood trauma, dealing with the weight of parental expectations, and discovering the importance of stillness in the healing process. Together, they reflect on how our early experiences shape who we are as adults and how somatic practices can help reconnect us with our bodies, allowing for profound self-discovery and growth. As they unpack the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and Mary Magdalene, the conversation brings out the beautiful balance between transcending the mind and being fully present in the body. Healing isn’t just about rising above; it’s about embracing both the mind and heart and finding unity within them. Tammy and Jenny also dive into the messy, human experiences of motherhood, the challenge of individuation, and how the inner critic—often born from childhood wounds or societal pressures—can stifle personal growth. But healing? It’s an ongoing journey, one that requires patience, compassion, and the ability to sit with stillness. They also talk about the cycles of life, from death to rebirth, and how these cycles shape us as women, the importance of community and how being part of a supportive network can be vital to the healing process.
