In this episode, Todd sits down with Robyn Wright — licensed massage therapist, somatic coach, and equine-assisted learning facilitator — to explore the powerful connection between emotional experience and physical health. Robyn shares how unprocessed emotions get literally stored in the body at a cellular level, and how creating a safe space for people to tell their story can release what years of carrying it never could.
