Episode 137: Have you mistaken “safety seeking” as your personality? With Jamie Lee Finch
Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Jamie Lee Finch. Jamie is an author, educator, somatic facilitator, and licensed bodyworker. She has a lot of titles, but how she most wants to be known is as a conflict mediator between humans and bodies – your own and everyone else’s, too. Because what she most wants to do in everything she creates and every space that she holds is advocate for the aliveness and goodness of bodies, and teach you how to do the same.
