Jacqueline Rose Richards-Shrestha (Shress- Tah) is a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, a self-love and embodiment coach, a clinical herbalist, a podcast host, a nature loving forager, an ecstatic dancer, a wife, and a momma of a rambunctious toddler. Her practice focuses on helping women have better relationships with their bodies so they can overcome self-doubt, and live full and vibrant lives.
Today we’re exploring the 'witch wound'—an intergenerational and collective trauma affecting women's voices and empowerment. Jacqueline explains how the historical persecution of women labeled as 'witches' continues to manifest today through behaviors like people-pleasing and perfectionism. The discussion also touches on the role of psychedelics in accessing subconscious healing and the importance of embodying one's true self for breaking cycles of trauma.
Jacqueline shares her journey from growing up in Minnesota to becoming a therapist, coach, and herbalist in Boulder, Colorado. She discusses how her passion for nature and foraging as a teenager led her to explore various healing practices, including the significance of intergenerational trauma. Jacqueline delves into her personal experiences with eating disorders and how these struggles informed her professional work with clients dealing with body image and disordered eating.
