How EFT Can Bring You Back to Your Inner Light
Today I’m joined by the radiant Carly Wise—EFT practitioner, somatic guide, and dear friend who walked with me through one of the darkest seasons of my life and helped me find my inner light again. We dive into how EFT/tapping teaches us to actually feel and process emotions, regulate the nervous system, and come back to safety in real time. Carly shares her path from psoriasis and emotional suppression to sobriety, self-expression, and coaching women worldwide. If you’ve felt stuck in talk therapy loops or you’re moving through a storm, this conversation offers practical tools, hope, and a way home to yourself.
✨ Episode Highlights:
What EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is and how tapping works on meridian points
Emotions as a communication system—not “good” or “bad”
Nervous system regulation: meeting feelings, not avoiding them
The 3–7 second wave: why fully feeling helps emotions dissipate
Carly’s story: psoriasis, heavy emotions, weed use → sobriety + somatic healing
Discovering tapping (2018) and the first tool that “clicked”
From fear to flow: tapping through money blocks and witnessing income shifts
Why self-administered tools are empowering (you can do this anywhere)
Somatics beyond tapping: running, dancing, art expression, toning
Using art (the “blob” exercise) to track emotional change visually
Gentle mantra: “Teach your nervous system that the good is safe.”
