10. Sah D’Simone on Living from a Full-Body Yes, Grief as a Teacher & Serving with the Season
What does it mean to live from a full-body “yes”? In this heartfelt and illuminating conversation, Britt and spiritual teacher and global humanitarian Sah D’Simone explore what it looks like to lead life, relationships, and purpose through the felt wisdom of the body. Sah opens up about his evolving relationship with grief and pain, describing how embracing both has become central to his healing—and how somatic practice teaches us to move with emotion rather than away from it. Together, they unpack restorative justice and what repair truly requires: nuance, compassion, and nervous system capacity. They talk about how righteous anger can pave the way for our greatest purpose, how to support others in grief through presence instead of platitudes, and why post-traumatic growth isn’t about bypassing suffering but integrating it. This conversation is a grounded invitation to slow down, listen inward, and let the body guide you toward truth, repair, and connection.
