The River

Into the River: Finding Flow Through Somatic Awareness

In episode two of The River, co-hosts Tenisha and Kristan explain why they named the podcast The River and use that metaphor to explore somatic work, awareness, and how certain feelings can show up in the body. They share personal stories about learning to notice, sit with, and use difficult emotions as tools rather than resisting them.
The conversation also touches on collective compassion, how community witnessing supports healing, and an invitation for listeners to pause, notice what’s asking for attention in their own river of experience, and consider seeking gentle support as they build relationship with their inner flow.

Welcome to The River: Trusting Our Bodies and Authentic Selves

Together, they emphasize the value of personal stories, honest conversations, and building connections without hierarchies, creating a space for listeners to reflect on their own unique experiences.
