What does somatic coaching actually look like — beyond the buzzwords, techniques, and trendy language?

In this episode, EZ offers a clear, unapologetic reframing of somatics — not as a collection of tools or a space where you come to be fixed, but as an orientation rooted in presence, curiosity, and power-with relationship.

After offering dozens of free somatic sessions, one thing became clear: many people are curious about somatics, but few know what it truly feels like to step into a space where nothing about them needs correcting.

This conversation explores what shifts when slowness replaces performance, when authority returns to the client, and when the body is welcomed as an intelligent partner in the process of becoming whole.

This is not a how-to episode.
It’s a manifesto about what happens when we stop outsourcing our authority and start listening inward.

In This Episode:

• Why somatics isn’t about techniques — it’s an orientation
• The difference between power-over fixing and power-with presence
• How people-pleasing patterns shape the way we approach healing spaces
• What clients often notice first inside EZ’s somatic containers
• Why slowing down is a radical act of reclamation

A Note from EZ

Somatic coaching isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about re-membering the intelligence that has always lived in your body — and learning to trust it again.

Hot Flash: Your Desires are Legitimate

This is the first Hot Flash episode.

A sudden, intense sensation to share an idea. A short potent drop.

In this episode, EZ reflects on desire as something organic, seasonal, and legitimate. Something to pay attention to long enough to choose.

A brief meditation on attention, timing, and what becomes possible when desire moves out of abstraction and into the body.

Let it land.

In moments of fear and upheaval, intent is often centered as proof of goodness, while impact is dismissed as inconvenient, exaggerated, or misunderstood.

In this episode of No People Pleasing Zone, EZ explores the difference between intention and impact through a nervous-system and relational lens.

This episode examines what happens when intent matters more than lived experience. And how power-over becomes normalized when impact is ignored.

This is not an episode about bypassing anger or rawness.
It’s about noticing the patterns that shape how we relate, personally and collectively. And how autonomy collapses when fear becomes the organizing force.

The episode closes by reframing power-with as a stabilizing, embodied alternative, inviting listeners to return to their own bodies as a site of truth, choice, and re-membering.

In This Episode, EZ Explores:

• The difference between intention and impact — and why intent alone is not enough
• How people-pleasing and fawning emerge as nervous-system survival responses
• Autonomy vs. protection in relationships, parenting, and community
• Why fear-centered systems prioritize control over trust
• How gaslighting at scale destabilizes bodies and communities
• Power-with as an embodied, relational alternative to power-over

A Moment to Sit With:

• Where in your life does intent get centered at the expense of your lived experience?
• What might shift if your body’s sense of impact
  was allowed to matter there?

Let it linger.
Let it land.
Let it percolate.

What if love was never asking you to disappear?

In this threshold episode of No People Pleasing Zone, EZ revisits a childhood story that reinforced her understanding of sacrifice, belonging, and love.

This time she hears it differently.

Through the story of Barrington Bunny, EZ explores how devotion rooted in self-knowing is fundamentally different from the kind of self-erasure that often masquerades as goodness. This episode gently disrupts the belief that belonging must be earned through sacrifice, and invites a re-seeing of what love actually requires; and what it never asked of you.

This is not an episode about fixing yourself.
It’s about shifting lenses.
And letting that change how you live, love, and belong.

In This Episode, EZ Explores:

• The difference between self-erasure and devotion rooted in self-knowing
• How people-pleasing forms when belonging feels conditional
• Why sacrifice without identity leads to disconnection, not intimacy
• The body’s role in signaling when love costs too much
• What becomes possible when the gift comes first

A Question to Sit With:

Where in your life did you learn that belonging required you to disappear?

And what might become possible if you let yourself know who you are before you give yourself away?

Let it linger.
Let it land.
Let it percolate.

Pleasing and appeasing is all about how we set up our relationship containers. When we nurture this one relationship - it changes everything.
