The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

Nervous system educator Sheridan joins me to talk body disconnection, having no hair, being defaulted while doing business, boundaries, business, the divine masculine, how women work, food cravings, intuitive eating, self compassion, and dealing with others who have a shot nervous system! A wonderful practical flow. Find out more about Ruth here: https://sheridanruth.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Sheridan is a Certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, Yoga Therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner and ex-anxiety, OCD and relationships coach. From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing her ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business. While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy. Sheridan helps anxious, perfectionist, people-pleasing and burned out entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven't worked. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe to Mark's new Feral Philosophy You Tube channel here: https://youtube.com/@feralphilosophy_mw?si=PHJcNwK4GYpRSflK Join Mark for in-person workshops – https://embodimentunlimited.com/events-calendar/?utm_source=TEP&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=Events Join free coaching demos sessions with Mark – https://embodimentunlimited.com/free-coaching-with-mark/?utm_source=TEP&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=Demo Find Mark Walsh on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/warkmalsh/
