Natalye Pearson, PsyD

We are thrilled to announce a powerful new episode of "Love Letters to Our Bodies" featuring Dr. Natalye Pearson, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience specializing in racial trauma, mental wellness, and radical self-care.

In this deeply important conversation, Dr. Pearson helps us understand the profound connection between racial trauma and physical health, offering both insight and practical tools for cultivating resilience in challenging times. She shares her framework of radical self-care as "the ultimate form of healing and resistance"—a perspective that positions our wellness not as luxury, but as liberation.

This episode explores:

- How racial trauma manifests in our bodies and impacts our overall health

- The mind-body connection between psychological stress and physical illness

- Practical strategies for radical self-acceptance and healing

- Why self-care is an act of resistance

- Tools for maintaining wellness when the world feels overwhelming

Dr. Pearson brings both clinical expertise and cultural wisdom to this conversation, creating space for us to understand trauma's impact while holding hope for healing. Her work with major organizations like Apple and PlayStation, as well as her psycho-educational trainings on racial trauma and internalized oppression, has created healing dialogues for thousands.

Whether you're navigating your own health journey, supporting others through theirs, or simply seeking to understand how to care for yourself and your community in these times, this episode offers essential wisdom and compassionate guidance.
