Trust and Healing After Loss: A Conversation with Estelle Thomson

We all have moments that push us to open up to life in ways we never expected—moments that call us to trust, even when it feels impossible. This season of Embodied is all about that powerful kind of trust and the profound transformations it can lead to.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Estelle Thomson, a yoga teacher, artist, and educator whose work blends embodiment, expressive arts, and psychology. 

Estelle shares how the loss of her son Tommy became a profound journey into healing, leading her to a deeper connection with life and purpose.

During our conversation, Estelle reflects, “How can I let grief move through me and widen me and expand me? … How can I let my karma be my dharma? This was given to me, so how can I carry it?”

Estelle’s words remind us that trust, healing, and self-love are deeply embodied experiences, and that listening to our bodies is a powerful act of self-compassion.

Tune in to this heartfelt episode, and join me in discovering the strength within vulnerability. Listen now to explore how trust and healing can illuminate your path forward.
