Thus far on the podcast, I’ve talked about the physical and biochemical part of my journey - from my health downfall to uprising. What I haven’t spent much time talking about is the IMMENSE work I have done to spiritually and psychologically heal myself. Yes, I had to remove a parasite from my body and heal my leaky gut. But I believe 100% that if I ONLY had come at my healing from a physiological perspective, I would not be experiencing the health I enjoy today!This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind - including subconscious processes and emotions - cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure.I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.If you haven’t gotten better. If you have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the root cause of your health problems, if you truly want to live a vibrant life and learn new ways to engage with yourself and the world - press in. Listen. Give yourself grace. And KEEP LOOKING.Don’t stop … Don’t stop… DON’T stop looking for answers.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Food Sensitivities v.

Joining me on the podcast today is Raina LaGrand, LMSW, MPH, CYT.Raina is a somatic therapist, coach, and educator living in Ypsilanti, MI. ⁠⁠Her perspective on somatics includes responding to the ways trauma & oppression shape our experiences and capacity to thrive. She believes individual and societal transformation is made possible when we center bodies, pleasure, relationships, and culture in healing.⁠ Through her work, she seeks to support others in living fully with presence and agency.After living with a stable fracture of a vertebrae for up to 10 years, Raina was experiencing pain that interfered with her daily life. Raina realized she couldn’t pursue healing without money. Acupuncture, chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and even CBD oil - things not covered by insurance all add up.For Raina, she has been working through multiple layers of mindset to come to a point of being alright with investing in her health. I love what she says in the middle of the episode: “By making my life accessible to others, I was becoming in-accessible to myself.”You may not be in a helping profession like Raina, but we ALL have a reason in our mind for why we can’t spend money on ourselves to work through.Raina shares a freebie IN EPISODE, a somatic practice centered around letting go of shame or guilt surrounding your money mindset. After the guided somatic practice: journal, meditate, comment or DM us on instagram, or talk to a loved one!Connect with Raina:@RootToRiseSomatics on IG and FBWebsiteSelf-Care Syllabus - resources exploring self-care and the politicized nature of self-care and wellness.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Ep. 13// Hear a Client Testimonial from Six-Figure Business Owner, Abby HermanEp. 21// Struggling with hope in your health?
