In this heart-centered episode, host Albert Balderas, California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Surf Therapy Facilitator, explores the role of community in the healing process — especially within movement-based therapy.

Whether it’s a surf pod, a skate crew, or a group session in motion, Albert dives into how co-regulation, emotional witnessing, and shared space create deep opportunities for growth. We break down why belonging matters, how community supports nervous system repair, and how skating and surfing with others fosters safety, courage, and connection.

Healing doesn’t have to be solitary. Sometimes, the ride is better together.
