In this deeply grounding and eye-opening episode, Kathy Love sits down with Kimberly Arnold, founder of Somatic Leadership, to explore what it actually means to bring the body into the conversation—especially in leadership, work, and everyday life.

This conversation introduces somatic healing in a way that is accessible, practical, and immediately useful. Kimberly explains why thinking your way out of stress doesn’t work—and how simple, physical shifts in the body can quickly restore clarity, calm, and connection.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, this episode offers a powerful new lens—and real tools you can use right away.

🧠 Key Concepts

Somatic Awareness
Somatic work intentionally brings the body into awareness.

The Nervous System Reality
80–90% of vagus nerve signals travel from the body to the brain.

Resilient Reset
A Resilient Reset is a brief, physical micro-practice that helps you shift out of reactivity and back into clarity, presence, and resilience—often in under a minute.

Kimberly Arnold teaches leaders how to shift from adrenaline-driven execution to regulated, repeatable performance under pressure. Even self-described skeptics are surprised by how simple her Resilient Reset body-based practices are—many describe them as life-changing.
