In a world where we are so often encouraged to achieve and excel, what magic unfolds when we lean into our perfectly imperfect selves? What happens when we blend laughter and play with the profound work of healing?

Today, Dr. Scott welcomes Karine Bell, speaker, somatic educator and co-dreamer at The Rooted Global Village, clown-in-training, and somatic abolitionist to transform how we relate to trauma and oppression. With a foundation in community, liberation, indigenous, and eco-psychologies, she takes a decolonial approach to life ― meeting each moment with curiosity, wonder, and a trust in laughter for healing. Together, they explore the importance of embracing healthy shame as a tool for reflection, the impact of toxic shame and the power of embracing our quirky sides for profound personal and collective shifts.

For a deep dive into the world of clowning, shame, and learning to laugh at ourselves, be sure to tune in for this expansive and compassionate conversation to find out if the serious can be seriously fun!
