Description

In this episode, host Albert Balderas, California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Surf Therapy Facilitator, dives into the healing power of skate therapy — a movement-based therapeutic approach rooted in rhythm, risk, and resilience.

We explore how skateboarding helps regulate the nervous system, unlock emotional expression, and create safe spaces for growth — especially for those who may not feel seen in traditional therapy settings. Albert highlights the impact of organizations like the A.skate Foundation and the Concrete Jungle Foundation, and how skating offers more than tricks — it offers transformation.

Whether you ride or not, this episode is about falling, rising, and finding your flow.
