In this week’s episode of Rooted in Presence, Carly is joined by Laura Starky, a trauma-informed integrative somatic therapist, yoga and meditation teacher, and someone who’s walked the messy, beautiful path of healing herself.

Together they explore what it really means to come home to the body after years of disconnection.
From alcohol and overworking to people-pleasing and emotional eating, Laura shares how old coping patterns can gently unravel when we learn to listen inwardly.

✨ In this conversation:

• The difference between coping and true connection
• How to rebuild safety and trust in the body through somatic awareness
• The role of stillness, movement, and patience in healing
• Why compassion and curiosity matter more than control
• How nervous-system-based practices create real, embodied change

Laura’s grounded wisdom reminds us that healing isn’t about fixing ourselves, it’s about remembering that wholeness was never lost.

🎧 Tune in for an honest, soothing, and practical conversation about returning to your body, one moment at a time.
