The Emotional Alchemy Podcast

Send us a textJoin us as we uncover how dopamine, the powerful neuromodulator, influences your motivation, desire, and action, especially during the high-pressure process of launching new offers.  We begin with a somatic exercise inspired by the book The Molecule of More to understand what dopamine feels like in our bodies before delving into the biological rhythms set by dopamine and how it influences our emotional and behavioral  highs and lows. I offer practices for maintaining long-term motivation and mental well-being by counterbalancing dopamine with molecules like serotonin and oxytocin.

We encourage listeners to set actionable intentions in their businesses and stress the importance of adaptability and presence.Wrapping up this enlightening discussion, we explore the significance of boundaries and the fine line between coaching and therapy. The episode emphasizes empowering clients to harness their intuition while balancing the 'feminine' aspects of nervous system regulation with 'masculine' business acumen.

Send us a textWe're coming in with a SPICY episode of Webs of Truth. In case you're new here, Webs of Truth is a sub-podcast collaboration between myself and Lindsey Lockett from the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast. Today, we are unpacking the questionable marketing choices that many nervous system and somatic coaches are making. We'd love to advocate for nervous system tools to be woven into every part of how your community interacts with you, beginning at the level of marketing.In our candid conversation, we tackle the commodification of healing in the age of social media, where somatic practices are marketed as quick fixes. We dissect the troubling trend of needing to fix 'functional freezes' and argue for the importance of acknowledging and integrating the full spectrum of human emotions in the healing journey. Navigating the nuances of marketing somatic practices, we discuss how to stay ethical in a space that often blurs the lines. The integrity of healing work lies in respecting each person's unique journey rather than succumbing to the pressures of quick results. Join Lindsey and myself as we shine the light on a path toward a more genuine, ethical approach to marketing nervous system work, where transparency and trust lead the way to a deeper connection with ourselves and our communities.  Kat HoSoo Lee is an Emotional Alchemy Coach, Spiritual Business Mentor and host of The Emotional Alchemy Podcast.

Send us a textI recently shared these thoughts on my Instagram page and I am bringing them to you here on my podcast. As someone who has been speaking and teaching about nervous systems for over 10 years, I've been anticipating the inevitability of social media influencers oversimplifying regulation tools as a cure-all. Not only does this perpetuate the cycles of bypassing that leave clients feeling broken or even more stuck, the sacred medicine of nervous system work is being exploited as yet another cure-all to sell using harmful marketing techniques. Deep bow of gratitude to the wise women who lent their voices to this conversation on Instagram: @nicolepasveer@nestandnourish@the_play_coach@nadinezumot Kat HoSoo Lee is an Emotional Alchemy Coach, Spiritual Business Mentor and host of The Emotional Alchemy Podcast.
