Sick and Seeking
Sick and Seeking is hosted by Leslie Field who, after a diagnosis in her late teens of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), has been on a 22-year journey of healing and self-discovery.
In this podcast, Leslie invites you to join her for intimate, honest and heartfelt conversations with others who are also on their own healing journeys as they live with and manage the long-term effects of “dis-ease” in the body.
Listen to the stories of courageous people who, in the face of an uncertain medical future, are on a quest to go deeper into their bodies, beyond symptom and diagnosis—or in some cases no diagnosis—to reach a place of intuitive knowing, healing and transformation.
This podcast is, above all, an exploration in healing and examines a variety of modalities and knowledge from conventional medicine to holistic and complementary therapies that bring a spiritual, psychological and mystical perspective to bodily healing in our modern culture.

Ep. 13 | Honoring Emotion as the Sacred Informer - Erin Pace Shares How Unstructured Movement Can Help Escort Emotion Out Of Our Bodies (Pt. 2)
This is my second conversation with somatic therapist, embodiment guide, intuitive body reader, soul coach, and meditation facilitator, Erin Pace.
If you haven’t already listened to episode 12 titled, “The Body is a Realm of Wild Discovery”, I recommend you go back after this episode and take a listen.
Embodied, sensual movement is a deep passion of mine as I know first-hand, in my body, mind and soul, how supportive and healing it can be. I’m thrilled to have had these conversations with Erin in order to spread awareness about the positive impact this type of movement can provide, especially for women who are lacking trust and connection to their bodies.
We speak about:
- Honoring the depth of emotion women hold in their bodies, and embracing the experience of emotion in the body
- Feeling emotions requires a commitment to connection to yourself and embracing what is happening within you
- Emotion is held in the body until we escort it away
- How we desensitize as a way of survival and how our sensitivity in our bodies is a genius
- Honoring, forgiving and allowing our bodies when they ask for rest
- How inviting ease can make space for more energy in the body
- Being with the intelligence of the body and what may show up when you check-in and visit
- The remembrance of connecting with the divine and the sacredness of all
- When women awaken to aliveness and wholeness in their bodies, there may be another quest inside of them to connect that to their eroticism
- Women’s inability to receive
- Using Erin’s A.L.I.V.E acronym as a daily touchstone or affirmation practice, starting with the phrases “I am” or “Am I?” – Aware, Listening, Intentional (or Inspired), Valid, Evolving
Quotes:
- “Emotion can feel like a scary foe, and I invite that is should be a sacred informer” - Erin Pace
