Welcome back to Work in Progress podcast!
On this episode, I’m joined by Ami Robertson, a trauma informed somatic therapist, embodied movement practitioner, writer and photographer living in Folkestone, Kent.
Wonderfully Autistic, passionately anti-capitalistic and forever curious about life and the existence of being human they are constantly evolving and exploring themselves through their work, community and creativity.
I could have talked to Ami for hours. We touched upon so many topics and you can hear my mind being blown a number of times. We discussed grief and guilt, rest and self-care, activism and burnout, wanting a smaller life and finding joy in everyday moments and so much more.
You can connect with Ami on their website and Instagram, or follow their writing here on Substack:
