The Samantha Parker Show
Welcome to The Samantha Parker Show where business, mindset, reinvention, lifestyle, and big dreams collide.
I’m Samantha Parker, entrepreneur, Creative Media Director, podcast host, and someone obsessed with building a life that feels really damn good.
Around here, we talk about business growth, visibility, content strategy, confidence, relationships, wellness, personal growth, and what it really looks like to build something meaningful.
You’ll hear founder stories, honest conversations, local legends, business breakthroughs, mindset shifts, and the occasional reminder that life gets a whole lot better when you stop playing small (and maybe drink a little less 😉).
Whether you’re building a business, chasing a dream, starting over, or leveling up in life…
You’re in the right place. Grab your coffee, your running shoes, or your Notes app.
Let’s get into it.

Managing Depression and Anxiety through Somatic Healing with Jennie Pool, Mend Counseling EP8
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Somatic therapy is like a fusion of psychology and getting in touch with your body’s vibes. Today, Jennie Pool from Mend Counseling is spilling the tea on how to use simple somatic techniques to work through anxiety and depression.
Your body is a storage unit for all the stuff life throws at you, good and bad. And sometimes, we need to shake off some of this survival energy! That's where somatic therapy comes in to save the day.
Forget about cookie-cutter therapy approaches. Somatic therapy is all about finding what works for you and your body. Maybe it's some tapping, a little movement there, or even just a big yawn. It’s a simple, personalized journey for your body's healing.
And, hey, have you heard about psychedelic-assisted therapy? Yeah, it's the new wave, but you have the right person facilitating the experience. If done correctly, these can release a lot of stored trauma and allow space for new patterns, behaviors, and things to come into your life.
At Mend Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, Jennie uses somatic therapy to take center stage. With a focus on progressive modalities, Mend offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, recognizing the accessibility and efficacy of somatic techniques beyond the confines of a physical office. As interest in somatic therapy grows, Mend remains at the forefront, providing therapists and clients with the tools and training needed to move through stuck trauma patterns.
So, if you're ready to untangle the mess of life's craziness and dig into serious healing, somatic therapy might just be what you are looking for.
Join us as we break open somatic therapy.
