  • How does personal growth connect to the greater evolution of humanity?

    In this fascinating episode, I welcome David Knox to explore the link between personal habits, somatic experiences, and collective evolution.

    From Darwinian evolution to cosmological perspectives, David offers insights into how our individual evolution can contribute to the larger consciousness of humanity.

    Join us as we uncover the power of intention, the impact of our emotional state on outcomes, and how physical release can lead to emotional freedom.

    In this episode, David Knox and I discuss:

    - The connection between habits, intuition, and somatic experiences in personal and collective evolution.

    - Evolution from both a scientific (Darwinian) and cosmological perspective.

    - David’s journey of realizing the importance of aligning personal goals with universal evolution.

    - The interconnectedness of consciousness and the impact of individual growth on collective human development.

    - The holistic view of what it means to be human and how it affects our life experiences.

    - The idea that consciousness and intention are integral to the universe and personal evolution.

    - The concept of a holographic fractal universe, where each part reflects the whole.

    - The importance of individual evolution for the betterment of humanity and the planet.

    - How the emotional and mental state behind our actions influences our outcomes.

    - Challenges of becoming aware of misalignments in one's life and the courage required to make changes.

    And so much more!

    David Knox is the creator and host of The Evolutionary Podcast and LiveStream YouTube channel. For decades David studied and experimented with the relationship between spiritual practices and life circumstances. In 2019, looking at the state of the world, David decided it was time to walk away from his corporate career and start talking to people who care about things that matter.

    Now David teaches others how to use their holographic, fractal relationship with our consciously evolutionary universe to create happiness, meaning, fulfillment and affluence in their lives, and in doing so, help to evolve the human species.

  • She had been outsourcing control and knowledge of her body to the "experts" ever since she was a child. And even in becoming a "body expert" herself, she still was experiencing an internal disconnection from her body that became amplified during the birth of her daughter and her postpartum experience. She felt deeply that something needed to change.

    She needed a sense of belonging and ownership within her own physical experience of life. Somatics, and specifically Hanna Somatics, has been a powerful doorway to regaining and actually creating an embodied sense of self and personal authority within her!

    Today, I have with me Zoe Hewett, a yoga teacher, exercise physiologist, and mother of two who recently graduated from the Radiance program. She’s here to take us through how Hanna Somatics has impacted her life, career, and experience of motherhood.

    In this episode, Zoe takes us through:

    - Her traumatic birth experience and how she felt disconnected from her body and power.

    - Her somatic exploration journey and how she found it profound and empowering.

    - Her journey through the Radiance program and what she learnt, including honoring her own knowing, asking for what she needs, and setting boundaries.

    - How the subtle, slow, Hanna Somatics movements allow the nervous system to release chronic tension patterns layer by layer.

    - How she incorporates somatic principles when working with clients healing from injuries.

    - How both effort and rest are beneficial, and finding the balance is crucial for preventing burnout and injury.

    - How healing happens in a non-linear, quantum way as we renegotiate the past and build new capacities in the present moment.

    And so much more!

    Zoe Hewett is an exercise physiologist, Bikram yoga teacher, and mother. As a former elite athlete, via the PhD experience, and by observing her daughters’ early years, movement, and the study of movement’s effects on the human experience, has been her language for most of her life. In recent years she discovered somatic movement, which then distilled into a focused dive into Hanna Somatics, which presented a whole new - yet old! - way of treating stress and chronic pain.

    Living with the benefits of her own evolving somatic movement practice, Zoe can’t help but share somatic principles with clients in both her exercise physiology and yoga work. She is excited to see where her life work takes her as she continues to work with people from a whole person, somatically aware perspective to facilitate each individual’s self-healing journey.
