Kaity Rose Holsapple – Her Temple: A Sanctuary for Your Embodied Healing

By thehealingplacepodcast | July 15, 2022

This was another one of those soul sister connections as I engaged in an enlightened conversation with Kaity Rose Holsapple, somatic yoga therapist and founder of Her Temple. Please join us as we discuss:

Kaity’s insights on somatic practices to heal trauma wounds
her personal journey through sexual trauma into healing
her role as a somatic alchemy trainer
her philosophies on toning the Vagus nerve
and so much more!

Bio:

“Women who have experienced trauma are often blocked from their greatest gifts and superpowers. Kaity Rose Holsapple believes that through healing trauma, women also begin a vital initiation into more Soul Power and aliveness than they’ve ever known.

She knows this firsthand, through her own experience healing from severe PTSD after sexual trauma. This experience brought her to her knees, and she experienced some of the darkest years of her life feeling cut off from her own Soul.

In the years following, she sought support that would allow her to move beyond her victimhood to fully reclaim her body AND spirit in the deepest of ways… she committed to an impressive depth of study, therapy, and self work in the arts of yoga, mindfulness, energy medicine, psychology, and somatic therapies to gain insight on how to heal.

But it was through the wisdom and intuition of her own body that she created her own body of trauma-healing work known as Somatic Yoga Therapy – a blend of body, heart, mind, and soul-work for alchemizing trauma into Soul Power. She currently trains others as Somatic Yoga Therapy practitioners and works 1×1 with survivors of sexual, physical, and relational trauma who are ready to reclaim their power and lives.

What she has found in her work is that SO many people are walking around with residual trauma, feeling stuck, and holding themselves back without even realizing it!”

Karen Hinton – Empowering Women in the Penis Politics Arena and Beyond

By thehealingplacepodcast | July 8, 2022

I was thrilled with the opportunity to engage in this thought-provoking and powerful conversation with Karen Hinton, formal journalist, political operative, seasoned media professional, and author. Please join us as we discuss:

Karen’s insights on empowering women and honoring one another’s truths
her personal journey through a traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and recovery
her work in the political arena and personal experience with “penis politics: women, men & power”
her philosophies on writing as a tool for recovery
and so much more!

Bio:

“Mississippi native Karen Hinton is a nationally-recognized media professional in Washington and New York. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Hinton played what Politico dubbed the “Helen of Troy role” in the clash between Cuomo, now the former Governor of New York, and Mayor de Blasio. The New York Times called the clash “one of America’s ugliest political feuds.” The Wall Street Journal lauded “the wisdom she dispensed in a Southern twang” in dealing with the strutting and chest pounding of New York’s two most powerful leaders.

Hinton cut her teeth as the press secretary for the first Black Congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction in 1986. The Democratic National Committee hired her in 1989, serving a similar role for Ron Brown, who was the first Black Chairman of the DNC and a key political strategist to elect Bill Clinton as President. In 1995, Hinton joined the Clinton Administration as press secretary for Cuomo at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. During that time, President Clinton began to face charges of womanizing (and worse). When Clinton’s defenders tried to dismiss the women as “trailer park trash” and “bimbos,” Hinton went public with her own story about Clinton asking for a night of sex when he was Governor of Arkansas and she was a young Democratic campaign aide in Mississippi. The revelation resulted in Hinton being eased out of her senior administration position, one of the events which sparked her interest in giving a name to “penis politics”. Hinton later relocated to New York and became Mayor de Blasio’s press secretary. She found herself at the center of the crossfire between longtime frenemies Cuomo and de Blasio, often becoming the subject of news coverage herself.

Known for never ducking a fight, Hinton was at the peak of her career when a catastrophic brain injury from a freak accident confronted her with the battle of her life. Emerging from a coma, learning to walk and talk again, Hinton was determined to “speak up, not shut up” on issues involving women, men and power in politics.

Hinton regularly contributes guest columns to the New York Daily News and other publications, focusing on the topics of #MeToo, sexual harassment in politics and skewering big oil, big banks and other bullies whenever possible.

Earlier in her career, Hinton was a journalist in Mississippi and Colorado, a cocktail waitress in Aspen and a high school teacher in Mississippi. Forty-five years after she left her small town in Mississippi (population 434?), Karen was ranked as one of the 50 most powerful people in New York public relations. She ascribes her success to ignoring the advice a boy in high school inscribed in her yearbook: “Karen, we love you, but would you please shut up!”
