This podcast features Taylor White Moffitt, with over 30 years of experience, who attributes much of our modern suffering to loneliness, fear of being alone, and the rupture of relationships, stemming from a societal shift away from community towards extreme individualism. She argues that healthy interdependence and the crucial, yet often stalled, process of individuation are vital for well-being. Moffitt emphasizes that practitioners are not meant to "fix" or "save" clients, but rather to be brave co-pilots who foster genuine relationships, helping individuals cultivate self-awareness and personal responsibility by moving from intellectual understanding to embodied learning. A central paradox discussed is that acceptance is a prerequisite for change, as resisting discomfort only amplifies it. Instead of rigid "boundaries" that attempt to control others, Moffitt advocates for speaking one's "truth" as a more vulnerable and self-owning approach. Ultimately, she posits that life, relationships, and personal growth inherently involve risk and discomfort, and true "safety" comes not from avoiding danger, but from building the capacity to meet and navigate it through practices like mindfulness and body awareness, supported by curiosity, courage, and willingness

ADHD isn’t just about focus; it’s deeply tied to how we regulate our emotions, our bodies, and our relationships. In this interview, we sit down with Taylor White Moffitt, a 30+ year psychotherapist turned embodiment coach, yoga and mindfulness facilitator, and the founder of Humanity Shared. Taylor brings decades of experience in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and leadership development to help parents, educators, and mentors understand what students with ADHD and executive function challenges truly need: presence, curiosity, and connection. She shares why self-care isn't selfish, how to use movement and mindfulness as regulation tools, and how parents can model the pause, not just preach it. This one’s for anyone raising, coaching, or supporting a neurodiverse student, or just trying to show up as their best self. Watch now to learn tools that create long-term growth, not short-term compliance.

Taylor White Moffitt, drawing on over 30 years of experience, teaches that suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, and that resisting it only amplifies pain; instead, acceptance of "what is so more" allows for contentment, peace, and ease, even in difficult moments. She emphasizes that true personal work is not about "the thing" itself (e.g., specific exercises or practices), but the commitment, discipline, and energy one puts into self-connection and embodiment through methods like breath work and body movement. Taylor explains that rumination is a cultural exit strategy from actual pain, advocating for direct engagement with feelings rather than avoiding them. Her transition from psychotherapy to coaching reflects a focus on moving from mere awareness to intentional action and thriving, embodying learning rather than just intellectual understanding. While tools like psychedelics can quiet the default mode network and reveal an inherent sense of love, she stresses they are merely tools, and the "real work" lies in integration and ongoing practice that happens after the experience. Ultimately, she underscores the profound healing power of human connection and sharing one's story to alleviate loneliness and "terminal uniqueness," asserting that peace and contentment are found in the acceptance, not the absence, of hard things.
