Seya Speak Pine, aka Chelcy is a somatics educator and breathwork facilitator. She runs her own business Sey Speake’s Somatics and also waits tables at Stout Public House. Today we talk wellness in the industry and the duality of her life that she experiences between working in the world of mental health, and working in a neighborhood pub. During the day she’s a mental health practitioner. She leads alternative therapy sessions like breath work and hypnosis, but when the sun goes down, she’s at Stout Public House pumping out Reuben sandwiches and pints of Guinness. On today's episode, we discuss how a significant part of the hospitality industry involves navigating interactions with people facing real mental health challenges, emphasizing the importance of having empathy but not tolerating people's bullshit. We explore the difference between self-care and abstinence when working around alcohol, as well as how to embrace self-expression and leverage the tools of digital media for self-promotion in today’s world. We’re recording on location at the beautiful Valkyrie Yoga Studio in Ocean Beach, where she teaches.
