ETP 56 // Somatic Experiencing + Evolutionary Astrology for Self Liberation with Verena Borell

ETP #56

“Maybe allowing yourself to change is the only way to stay true to yourself.”
- Verena Borell

When life begins to feel too small, when the soul aches beneath the surface of success, when burnout becomes your baseline—what happens if you stop pushing and start listening?

In this deeply human, soul-stirring episode of Enter the Portal, Verena Borell joins us to share her story of unraveling and reweaving.

A guide, evolutionary astrologer, and somatic practitioner-in-training, Verena opens up about the moment her seemingly perfect life—glamorous, global, and go-go-go—collapsed from the inside out.

Beneath the surface of curated content and a thriving business, she was living on four hours of sleep, wired on caffeine, and totally disconnected from her truth.

What followed was not a quick fix or a bold leap—but a slow, sacred process of remembering.

Through deep rest, ancestral reconnection, and the healing language of the body, Verena found her way back.

And today, she holds space for others to do the same: to feel their way home, to reclaim the pace of nature, and to find liberation not in doing more—but in becoming more of who they truly are.

This conversation is a balm for anyone walking through burnout, questioning their path, or quietly whispering, “This isn’t mine anymore.”

It’s a call to soften, to slow down, and to trust the spiral of becoming.
