Explicit content warning

10/27/23 • 80 min

Linda Thai is a therapist, educator, and storyteller. She has been one of the most important people in my own healing journey, especially her focus on somatic embodied integration.

Feeling safe enough to work with what the body holds was a turning point for both of us. Linda shares about her own healing journey and how key the body was for her own process.

She drops countless pieces of wisdom in her gentle yet direct style.

You'll also hear me laugh a lot more than usual, in part because of how comfortable I feel in her presence!

Resources mentioned:

The January 2024 round of the Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies: Not only one of the best courses I've ever taken, but by FAR the best value for the cost (plus, scholarships available). I took this course twice and recommend it most highly!!

If you scroll down on Linda's website you can sign up for her newsletter, which she usually sends monthly and is always informative. That's where you can find out about her new content for next year, including something called Trauma & The Voice that I'm very excited about!

20 Poverty is Not Your Fault!

Poverty is not your fault. Debt is not your fault. And you don't have to find solutions alone!

This episode talks about the systemic side, the AuDHD-specific elements such as impulsive shopping, and how screwed up debt is historically and currently.

Note: This episode is quite USA-centric. While there are mentions of ways this might affect people in other countries, growing up here is my main context on this topic.

Resources mentioned:

Simone Seol's episode Debunking the idea of a "Scarcity Mindset"
Article The Cognitive Burden of Poverty the above episode was based on
David Graeber's book Debt: The First 5000 Years
