Alchemizing "Source Material" with Ash Ryzen Witham
Episode 6
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
Send us a textIn this episode, Wil Fisher sits down with Ash Ryzen Witham, a queer, nonbinary trauma-informed Somatic Coach and Connection & Embodiment Facilitator. Ash supports personal and collective transformation by guiding people into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and life itself through somatic wisdom, embodied and authentic relating practices, and movement + expression. Their work is rooted in the belief that the ache, tension, and longing we carry are not “problems to fix,” but raw material for personal evolution, where the art of alchemy truly lives.Together, they explore:Somatic coaching as a path to self-trust and the body as our most honest guide. Nervous system regulation in intense times and why safety isn’t a concept, it’s a felt experience. “First responders”: the early signals in the body that let us intervene before activation takes the wheel. How to work with emotions in a way that’s compassionate, practical, and grounded in real life (not bypass-y). Authentic Relating as a practice of truth + care: saying what’s real while staying connected to impact. Belonging vs. fitting in and how self-belonging becomes the foundation for healthy community. Holding multiple truths in queer spaces with more curiosity, less fragility, and more capacity for nuance. Alchemy as transmutation: turning pain, tension, and longing into power, meaning, and movement. Ash’s queer journey, representation, and the ways “coming out” can be a lifelong unfolding. Ecstatic dance as an embodied portal back into aliveness, joy, and community.Connect with Ash: Website: www.ashwitham.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alchemy.with.ash/Connect with Wil: Website: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Instagram: @wilfish99Support the show
