Recently, I immersed myself in the transformative experience of our Advanced Energetics retreat. Picture a room filled with remarkable women, each letting go of their fears and stepping into their potential. It was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.

Standing by the pool at the retreat center, watching everyone connect and support each other, really drove home how impactful the Pause Breathwork community has become. We're doing more than just healing; we're discovering freedom and potential through somatic practices.

Alongside these reflections, I delve into the evolution of coaching in the age of AI. While driving to a dance class, I tested ChatGPT with a business decision, and I was surprised by the insight it provided. Still, it reaffirmed for me that human connection and the body's wisdom are irreplaceable, especially in somatic coaching where genuine change happens.

This is also a last call for anyone interested in the 2025 Somatic Coaching certification—a six-month journey of becoming a certified coach while deeply understanding and harnessing your gifts. It’s about making an impact in ways that truly matter.

In this episode, I explore:

➤ The essential role of human connection and intuition in coaching

➤ Why somatic coaching is crucial for lasting transformation

➤ Adapting to the future of coaching with AI advancements

Join me as we explore why "AI cannot replace human connection" and how integrating somatic tools can elevate your coaching practice. Whether you’re a coach, passionate about personal growth, or just curious about where coaching is headed, this episode is definitely worth a listen.

Hey love,

I just dropped a new episode of Can’t Be Contained and ooooof — this one hit deep.

I’m diving into something I haven’t shared quite like this before: how to actually heal and regulate your nervous system without just looping in trauma talk or mindset work (because let’s be real, that only gets us so far).

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things — journaling, affirmations, therapy — but still feel stuck, numb, or disconnected... this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m getting super real about my own journey from feeling flatlined in life to tapping into deep, electric aliveness again. We jam on:

➤ How to clear the blocks that choke out your life force
➤ Why emotional and mental patterns keep us from feeling good (even if we "know better")
➤ How breathwork became my bridge back to me — and how it can be yours too

And yep, I’m also breaking down something brand new: the Aliveness Quadrant. It’s a tool I created to help you tune into your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy — and figure out where you’re leaking power.

You’ll also hear why I believe somatic healing is the future of coaching and why it’s time we start leading with the body, not just the mind.

And hey — if you’re a coach, healer, or facilitator who feels this call in your bones… just a heads up: the doors to our Somatic Coaching Certification are closing real soon. If this path is for you, now’s the time to trust that pull.

Let’s breathe life back into our bodies, our work, and this wild, beautiful human experience — together. 💫

All my love,
Sam
