EP 57: She Started Her Healing Journey at 12 — Here's Where It Led

What happens when you spend decades studying the mind, only to realise that the body holds answers the mind can never fully reach? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jo (holistic embodiment coach, former psychologist, yoga teacher, and founder of TulaSoul) for one of the most honest and layered conversations The Rewrite has ever had. Dr. Jo's path began at age 12, when a struggle with anorexia led her to a hospital, and then unexpectedly to her life's purpose. Decades later, she has built an entire practice around helping women do the thing she spent years learning herself: come home to their bodies. Dr. Jo's mission at TulaSoul is to help every woman feel Empowered, Embodied, and Enlightened, and this conversation is a front-row seat to what that actually looks like from the inside out. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ How a hospitalisation at age 12 became the unexpected beginning of Dr. Jo's calling, and why she believes the hardest chapters often grow our hearts the biggest ✨ The shift from clinical psychology to holistic embodiment coaching, and what happened when Dr. Jo finally stopped studying the mind and started listening to her body ✨ Why 74% less physical touch between couples over the last decade is doing more damage than most people realise, and what we can do about it starting with ourselves ✨ The somatic release practice that Dr. Jo didn't induce or plan, and why her body simply started doing it on its own when she finally got quiet enough to listen ✨ The profound connection between a woman's voice and her sexuality, and what the tissue in the back of the throat has to do with the tissue in the cervix ✨ What it's like to become more authentic and have fewer people like you for it, and why Dr. Jo has decided she gives fewer shits about that with every passing year ✨ Her vision for three transformative women's retreats built around the pillars of empowerment, embodiment, and enlightenment, and what each one is designed to unlock ✨ The practice she is most committed to mastering next: stretching stillness, and why joy is the mark of the master This is a conversation about healing, wholeness, and what it really means to take up space as the woman you actually are. 🌐 Visit: tulasoul.com📲 Instagram: @holisticcoachjo📧 Email: [email protected]🎥 YouTube: Dr. Jo TulaSoul Connect with me on Instagram: @vandercreativeco and @itsjamievander
