In this episode of the Synergy Podcast, host Arianna Montanari speaks with somatic coach Kari Hovik about her journey and the importance of individuality in personal growth.

They discuss the rise of the individual, navigating spiritual awakenings, and the significance of Human Design in understanding oneself. Kari emphasizes the need for self-awareness, reflection, and the balance between personal healing and collective responsibility.

The conversation highlights the beauty of spirituality in everyday life and the transformative power of somatic coaching for women in transitional phases.

About Kari:

Kari is a somatic coach for women who are in pivotal, transitional seasons in life - in career, in relationships, and in womanhood overall. Her work blends nervous system regulation as the foundation, parts and patterns work, human design, and identity work, with feminine wisdom woven all the way through. She believes every single woman (and person) is one of one, so uniquely made, and that conditioned society has stifled that.

"As we move into this new era, the rise of the individual is going to be paramount. When you are so completely connected to yourself, you have no choice but to see that you are connected to everyone else as well. We cannot heal or grow or expand within the same systems or consciousness that made us so docile."
