This is the year I solidify my identity as a soul scout; something I’ve known internally for a long time has finally found a way to the external world. My 2023 challenge to myself is to upload one video per week and send one newsletter per month - and this week's video is a soulful one.

My second Paul Linden interview is now online - head over to my channel @sarahthesoulscout on YouTube and find out why Paul Linden is famous in both the embodied trauma AND the language/linguistics fields. It's another potentially triggering interview; we talk about trauma, sexual assault, and unusual exercises involving genitals. Not for the faint of heart (nor those who experience secondhand embarrassment easily.)

But don’t be dismayed - we also talk about hope for humanity, how to find tools that actually work, healing community and individuality simultaneously, how to get clear about your intention and make an impact, and so much more. He tells a lot of bad jokes, as usual, and sometimes I get it and laugh along.

Paul is a sly and silly linguist who twists your words until you actually make sense, forcing us to reckon with the sheer amount of interpretation we call communication every single day. He uses his 50+ years of martial arts experience, formal physical education training, and his passion for data, computer sciences, posture, mindfulness, language, and meaning - and blends it into a body of practice called Being In Movement.

Paul's website is filled with free or affordable ebooks, and resources to learn to live more comfortably in your body, while giving us the language to more safely communicate. Go sign up for a class or download some free resources at: https://www.being-in-movement.com/

This is the second of a series of 5 or 6 interviews I’ll release in the coming months. It was an honor to interview Paul in his home like this and I want to make sure I’ve fully taken in the content of each session before releasing it to the world. I hope you find them informative, soulful, and connective to the human experience. Click below to check out my first one, about my favorite relationship: power and love.
