You know Eliza Coupe as an actress from hit shows like Scrubs, Happy Endings, Future Man and Pivoting. But today we pull back the curtain on the Coyote Woman who is a self proclaimed yogi and spiritual cartographer. This episode is the most encompassing when it comes to diving into the varieties of spiritual healing tactics. We discuss Bekah Vandenberg, soul fragment work via deep trance, spiritual pilgrimages to Tulum, Yoga, Ayahuasca and being celibate for three years. Plus infrared sauna, somatic exercises, qi gong and a lot of mistakes with men. One of my favorite people on the planet sharing all the gifts life has shown her.
