  • Healing From Purity Culture Through Somatic Therapy and Movement With Jenny McGrath
    Sep 5 2025

    Jenny McGrath is a Somatic Psychotherapist and Movement Educator at Indwell Movement, a platform offering online somatic education, movement classes, and healing courses that integrate body‑based approaches with trauma awareness and social justice. She is a licensed mental health counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and certified yoga teacher who has spent over a decade researching how movement, dance, and the body can heal trauma and religious sexual shame. Jenny‘s work focuses especially on supporting individuals recovering from purity culture and religious trauma through embodiment, somatic connection, and liberation‑centered healing.

    In this episode…

    Many people raised in purity culture carry unspoken shame, disconnection, and confusion about their bodies well into adulthood. The messages of control and fear can leave lasting imprints on identity, sexuality, and the ability to feel safe in one’s own skin. How do we begin to untangle those patterns and move toward embodied healing?

    According to Jenny McGrath, a licensed mental health counselor, somatic experiencing practitioner, and movement educator, the body itself is the key to reclaiming wholeness. She explains that years of religious conditioning often silence our inner wisdom, leading to dissociation and compliance with oppressive systems. By centering questions like “What are you noticing?” and inviting curiosity about tears, breath, and sensations, Jenny highlights the radical power of listening to the body. She emphasizes that true healing cannot be separated from collective liberation, as marginalized bodies face systemic barriers to safety.

    In this episode of With Intention, Liz Frost sits down with Jenny McGrath, Somatic Psychotherapist and Movement Educator at Indwell Movement, to discuss healing from purity culture through somatic therapy and movement. She explores how religious trauma severs our connection to the body, why abstinence-only education harms consent and sexuality, and the role of embodiment in resisting systems of oppression. Jenny also shares insights from her upcoming book on purity culture and white saviorism.

  • Why Integrating Body, Mind, and Spirit Matters in Therapy With Laurel LeMohn
    Aug 22 2025

    Laurel LeMohn is a therapist at Intentional Spaces Psychotherapy, a trauma-informed telehealth practice based in Washington State. Her therapeutic approach blends somatic healing, breathwork, movement, and spiritual presence to support what talk therapy alone can’t reach. Laurel draws on her own experiences with grief, chronic illness, and trauma to bring grounded, compassionate presence to her clients.

    In this episode…

    What if true healing required more than just talking through your struggles? For many, traditional therapy offers valuable insights, but often leaves the body and spirit behind. Could integrating the mind, body, and spirit be the missing key to deeper, lasting transformation?

    According to Laurel LeMohn, a therapist who specializes in somatic and trauma-informed care, healing begins when people reconnect with their bodies and honor their lived experiences. She highlights the power of breathwork, intuitive movement, and spiritual presence to release stored trauma and restore balance. This integration helps clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to reclaim their stories. By combining traditional therapeutic modalities with holistic practices, she shows that true change emerges when individuals learn to trust their own inner wisdom and strength.

    In this episode of With Intention, Liz Frost sits down with Laurel LeMohn, therapist at Intentional Spaces Psychotherapy, to discuss why integrating body, mind, and spirit matters in therapy. They explore the difference between top-down talk therapy and bottom-up somatic healing, the role of breathwork in calming the nervous system, and how lived experience shapes a therapist’s approach. Laurel also shares her vision for creating safe spaces of community and connection.

  • Healing Anxiety and Depression Through Therapy and Mindfulness With Liz Frost

    In this episode…

    When life feels overwhelming and every thought spirals into worry or exhaustion, how do you know if it’s time to seek help? Anxiety and depression can quietly seep into daily routines, leaving even high achievers feeling drained or disconnected. What steps can you take to reclaim calm, clarity, and emotional resilience?

    According to Liz Frost, a licensed therapist and mental health expert, recognizing the tipping point starts with noticing when anxiety or depression begins disrupting your relationships, work, or sense of self. She highlights that deep feelers often experience emotions so intensely that they mistake their sensitivity for weakness, leading to shame or isolation. Therapy, mindfulness, and breathwork offer a safe way to process emotions and regulate the nervous system, creating space for healing and growth. Liz also explains how community support and self-compassion can transform overwhelming emotions into an opportunity for resilience.

    In this episode of With Intention, Liz Frost, Owner and Founder of Intentional Spaces Psychotherapy, is interviewed by Chad Franzen of Rise25 Media, to talk about healing anxiety and depression through therapy and mindfulness. She shares how to recognize the signs you need support, the role of mindfulness and breathwork in regulating emotions, and why community and connection are vital for recovery. Liz also provides insights on building long-term emotional resilience.
