In this episode, somatic psychotherapist Suzy Butz shares her deeply personal journey from disconnection and domestic violence to discovering peace, purpose, and connection through the body.
After years in a high-pressure IT career and the thrill of flying hot air balloons, Suzy realised that real freedom came not from success or adventure, but from healing her own nervous system.
She explains how stress and trauma live in the body, not the mind, and how practices like movement, laughter, music, and self-compassion can help us regulate our emotions and reconnect with ourselves. Suzy explores why loneliness often begins as disconnection from within and how becoming your own best friend is the first step to feeling truly connected with others. This uplifting and insightful conversation invites listeners to pause, breathe, and remember that human connection starts by coming home to ourselves.
