What if the biggest multiplier for your health isn’t another supplement—but presence? In this conversation, Carrie sits down with Dr. Marisa Catapano, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND), Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO) and certified Neo Emotional Release Practitioner specializing in holistic healing, emotional wellbeing and integrative cancer care to explore how somatic work helps the body complete “stuck” emotional loops and why that matters for everything from thyroid and gut issues to integrative cancer care.

You’ll hear:

What Neo-Emotional Release is (a somatic, integrative approach drawing from parts work, breathwork, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more)
How “emotions as energy in motion” get interrupted and where that shows up in the body
Why presence often needs to come before (or alongside) protocols, labs, and biohacks
Gentle, everyday practices to build presence into what you’re already doing (no extra time required)
A compassionate look at oncology: safety, timing, and real stories of hope and reconnection
The difference between chasing symptoms and listening for what the body is trying to solve

If you’ve “done all the things” and still don’t feel well ~ or if you sense there’s a deeper root you haven’t touched ~ this episode will meet you with curiosity, clarity, and practical next steps.
