The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Minisode: Pain, Power & Permission with Rebecca Schlosser
In this intimate, impromptu episode of The Authentic Creative, we share a post-breathwork reflection with Rebecca Schlosser, a trauma-informed breathwork guide and podcast host, who graciously allowed us to record her experience immediately after "one of the most connected sessions she’s ever had."
Together, we explore:
- Generational healing through the breath
- Pain as both a portal and a teacher
- The nuanced dance between treating pain physically and addressing it energetically
- How facilitators can create more space by doing less
- Trusting our inner guidance to receive the medicine we need in each moment
Rebecca offers insight into breaking ancestral patterns, the power of breath holds, the beauty of sending pain into the Earth, and how sometimes just showing up is the biggest act of courage. This dialogue is a moving reminder that imagination is a sacred tool for healing and that we are all walking a bridge between the practical and the mystical.
This episode is raw, real, and woven with wisdom from the body, breath, and soul. Whether you're a space holder or a seeker, this conversation will land exactly where you need it most.
