In this episode, Michelle, shares how her spiritual journey lead her to becoming a strict vegetarian in 2005. For 17-years, Michelle, refrained from eating any fish, chicken or meat. Then, after discovering somatics and becoming more connected to her own body, Michelle, for the first time in almost two decades, began to get cravings for meat again.
Michelle shares:
- What motivated and influenced her decision to become a vegetarian in 2005

- The nuance of the nervous system and a trauma-informed practice
- What influenced the decision to eat meat again after almost two decades of vegetarianism
