Your Own Medicine Podcast (Kali Somatics)

How do other cultures' values affect their communication style? What are ways that we can cultivate understanding with those we love most? With neighboring nations? With those in our community? 

John Bell is an intercultural communications teacher who promotes intercultural and interpersonal understanding and conflict resolution through his teachings. By seeking to understand others, we invite more harmony into our lives. In this episode, we chat about why certain people do the things they do and think they way they think. Is every perspective valid? What do you think?

Ever wonder why you can’t say “no” without feeling guilty? Or why you always end up playing the peacekeeper even when it’s costing you your sanity? It might be because all that anger you’ve been taught to swallow is screaming for some boundaries.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

• The biology of anger and why it’s actually a protective mechanism

• How chronic people-pleasing and fawn responses bury that anger deep

• Somatic practices to safely access your anger and honor the boundaries your body craves

• Real-world strategies for setting boundaries in social situations without all the guilt

• A live Q&A where we answer your burning questions

This isn’t about becoming “less nice” or “more assertive.” It’s about getting real with yourself and letting your body lead the way.

Ready to get fierce about your boundaries?

Hit play and let’s get into it.

Enjoy this interview with David Bedrick about his recently published book, "The Unshaming Way".

In this episode we explore both sides of the fawning coin - being the therapist friend and being the emotional dumper. I cover why emotional dumping happens so frequently and why it might actually feel like true emotional intimacy for those of us who are recovering people pleasers.

I also explore alternatives to mainly bonding over shared trauma or being a hostage to someone's intense life stories - as well as what to do instead of sitting frozen while someone recounts some "much-to-personal" information.

I've been musing a lot on the concepts of hate, shame, and cancel culture. How does hate feel somatically in the body and how does it express? Is there a purpose to shame and specifically- the shaming that happens in cancel culture? How can we pardon ourselves, let go of shame, and be brave to speak our truth in an age where everyone is itching to cancel the next unlucky person? What do you think?

It made me reflect on my studies in cultural relations and how fawning is sometimes built into our cultural interactions.

In this episode, I explain how your culture may have an impact on how much you're inclined to fawn.

TW (see below)- Parvati is a four time Survivor player and winner of Season 16 Micronesia. After claiming the title of Sole Survivor, Parvati faced backlash from the public who at the time couldn’t accept that her all female “Black Widow Brigade” unapologetically voted off beloved male players one by one.

Parvati came back for Season 20 Heroes vs. Villains and was immediately targeted by both tribes as a huge threat. Now, she’s recognized as one of the best Survivor winner’s of all time by media, fans of the show and Host and EP Jeff Probst. Today, Parvati is a yoga + meditation teacher, international retreat leader, coach, author and mother.

In this episode, Parvati shares about what it was like to be targeted and disliked by the Survivor cast + audience and how she developed resilience and self-assured confidence. She shares practices she uses in her personal life and with her clients to connect to a "villain persona" to access the gifts of strength, confidence, pleasure and unapologetic self-expression.

(Trigger Warning: mentions of sexual assault from 16:30- 18:00)
