Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

Do you feel like your spiritual journey has left you longing for a deeper connection in a fast-paced world? In the rush of daily life, spirituality can often feel distant or difficult to grasp, leaving us yearning for something more. This is where the power of community comes in. Within a spiritual community, the search for meaning takes on new depth, offering a space where we can explore our beliefs alongside others who share our quest. It’s in this collective experience that you find not only support and encouragement but also a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, reminding you that your spiritual journey is both personal and communal, deeply enriched by the presence of others.

In this episode, we talk about connection, community, and their role in a spiritual and healing journey with a returning guest, Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

Standout Quotes:

“The church teaches us to disagree with dignity and how to be in community.” [18:47]

• “The biggest thing about deepening your spiritual connection through community is making that leap and giving it a chance.” [53:33]
• “Give church a try, be open-minded and open hearted, if it’s new and different, not new and toxic, it’s okay, let it teach and lead you and see what unfolds.” [51:18]

As women, many of us go through life without fully realizing how deeply our self-worth has been impacted by past experiences, societal pressures, or internalized beliefs. These silent wounds can diminish our self-worth and hold us back from creating the life we truly desire and deserve. But healing is possible, and it begins with the courage to look within and honor our intrinsic value. Acupuncture offers a beautiful, gentle path to healing, inviting us to quiet our minds and reconnect with the deep, intuitive knowing that resides within us. By aligning our body’s energy, acupuncture helps us clear away the blocks that keep us small, empowering us to rediscover our worth, step into our power, and live a life filled with purpose, confidence, and joy.

In this episode, we talk about how acupuncture can help you tap into your self-worth and reconnect with your inner knowing with a returning guest, Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practicing for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions. He understands the role that spirit, creativity, and spontaneity play in creating health and recovery.
