What happens when a physicist named after Einstein leaves Princeton for the California coast and ends up founding a somatic psychology movement?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr.
Albert Wong, founder of
Somatopia, to explore his extraordinary journey.
We explore:
đź’ˇ The shift from "Why?" to "How am I, right now?"
đź’ˇ Moving from explanation to process
đź’ˇ Letting go of end-gaining and learning to be with
đź’ˇ How mind and body can work in concert (instead of at war)
đź’ˇ Practical first steps to begin inhabiting your body
One of my favorite takeaways:
Every gentle act of turning toward a sensation is a statement of “You belong.”
If you’ve ever:
➡️ Thought your way through life
➡️ Lived in achievement mode
➡️ Struggled with “not enoughness”
➡️ Or felt the pull toward something deeper and more embodied
This episode is for you.
Albert also shares insights from his book, The Healing Trauma Workbook, and practical ways to begin listening inward today.
What is Embodied Change Podcast?
Change isn’t just an idea. It’s an embodied practice. It’s something we live and breathe. Each episode of the Embodied Change Podcast explores how tuning in to the body can transform the way we move through the world. Through conversations with mind–body experts, psychEd discussions, personal stories, and practical somatic techniques, we’ll uncover what it takes to create change that begins from within — change that’s grounded, sustainable, and deeply human.
