Mike Abramowitz sits down with Michael Gay to talk somatic therapy. Michael shares steps to help you connect with layers of intelligence within your body—from the mind and emotions to the gut. They discuss how somatic practices can open doors to deeper self-awareness, untapped energy, and even new pathways for decision-making. Michael explains why many high achievers overlook these resources and how reconnecting with the body can lead to richer, more meaningful experiences in both personal and professional life.
