Episode 60: Caring for Others Beyond the Patient/Therapist Model: An Interview with Emily Souder

Joy Noble • December 24, 2024

Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 60, I sat down with Emily Souder, a writer, licensed clinical social worker, and an awesome human! Emily and I first connected over a desire to chat about how we help people and I quickly knew I needed to invite her on the podcast to share more about her work.

While Emily is in a phase of life where she is not taking on new clients, she is still an incredible resource and currently has three books available to help you in various parts of your life journey. In this episode we unpack each book, how it came to be and who the ideal reader is. We also touched on Emily’s work with meditation that she offers on Insight Timer - if you are listening when this episode drops definitely go check out her Cozy Up Meditation which is perfect for this winter season.
