When you can see possibilities for everyone else, why can it be so hard to find your own next step? We’re joined by Ben Padilla, author, embodiment practitioner, interpersonal relationship coach, and founder of Arise Healing Center in Bozeman, Montana, for a different kind of conversation. Ben introduces his Nine Currents framework, then turns the questions toward me for an exploration of connection, personal power, and the experience of being human.

“The past doesn’t define where we’re going.” — Ben

This week, I step into the interview seat as Ben gathers lived experiences for his ongoing book project. Through his questions, I reflect on how I move through the world: scanning a room, looking for depth in conversation, receiving inspiration, and feeling the pull to help others recognize their own possibilities.

We also get honest about the harder parts. Seeing something that could support another person doesn’t mean they’re ready to hear it. We talk about waiting for an invitation, allowing people their own choices, and the ongoing practice of honoring their sovereignty. I share why permission has been such an important part of my work, and how offering a spark of inspiration can be enough.

The conversation moves into the body, including what changes when I feel confident, what happens when I feel overwhelmed, and the practices that help me reconnect with myself. We explore the frustration of knowing what to do and still struggling to do it, and why even those of us who support others need understanding and community.

If you’ve ever felt deeply connected to your purpose and still found yourself navigating shame, loneliness, or uncertainty, there’s room for that here. This conversation invites curiosity about your natural strengths, compassion for your struggles, and respect for the different ways people experience life.

We wrap with Ben’s book, Body Remembrance: The 9 Currents, his ongoing interview project, and ways to explore his work through Arise Healing Center.
