In this conversation, Amalia, Noah, and Kelsey trace the currents of emotional alchemy. Through reflection on their somatic experiences with grief, relief, heartache, breakthrough, relationship, and surrender, they dive deep with each other and with listeners in exploring

• The solar plexus as both energy and awareness: how feelings transform through embodiment, and time.
• What defines a “breakthrough” moment, and how story-making, timing, and inner authority may shape that process.
• Dehomogenizing the “feel your feelings” orientation
• Identifying where emotions live in and move through the body as they arrive and integrate
• What is grief? Where does it live in the body?
• Relational Safety and Emotional Maturity: how we can feel whether someone has done their own alchemy, and how that sensing informs whether it’s safe to bring all of our parts to our relationship with them.
