Description
Ranked in the Global Top 5% for Self-Improvement, the Unboxable Podcast is the essential mental health resource for over-extended givers—the healers, educators, creatives, and high-achievers ready to reclaim their vitality.
Hosted by somatic practitioner Alena Turley, this 5-star-rated show bridges the gap between high-performance and deep, soulful recovery. If you are a "flat-chat" professional running on empty, Alena and her multidisciplinary guests provide the somatic tools and trauma-informed insights needed to shift from chronic depletion to regulated, gentle power.
Tune in for:
— Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Regulation: Move beyond mindset hacks to true physiological healing.
— Soulful Recovery: Real-life stories of trauma recovery and conscious living.
— Expert Interviews: Candid conversations with global leaders in healing and self-development.
Stop running on autopilot. Start showing up as the most fully alive version of yourself—not just for others, but for you.
