Our guest today is Integrative body psychotherapist Beth Bardovi.
 
First off, Integrative Body Psychotherapy, or IBP, is a type of psychotherapy that recognizes and treats the physical, psychological, and spiritual nature of a human being. It is based on the premise that the body, mind, and spirit are not separate, but rather integrated parts of a whole person. Unlike other modalities, IBP puts a strong emphasis on breath and body work to promote mindfulness and alleviate depression and anxiety. 
 
Beth is the Director of the IBP Central Institute, Los Angeles and the Executive Director of IBP Italy. And has been in private practice for over 30 years in Santa Monica. She is a wise soul.
 
So today, Beth helps us learn more about where our fears come from and how we can begin to heal these wounds so we can lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Similar to this podcast, SoulPancake explores ‘Life’s Big Questions.’ This year Fast Company named SoulPancake one of the “The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies of 2015 in Video.” Their mission is to spread joy and celebrate the human experience by producing and curating uplifting, thought-provoking content that is distributed on television, online, at live events, and through branded engagements. Talk about an inspirational intention. In a world where media can be incredibly negative SoulPancake is a breath of fresh air and Shabnam is at the heart of it.
