You Make Sense

by Sarah Baldwin

You Make Sense is a manual to understanding your human experience, so that you can navigate the world with freedom, ease, and empowerment. Using the latest neuroscience and trauma research, this podcast will equip you with powerful somatic tools to help you get unstuck and create the life you desire. Sarah Baldwin, SEP, is an expert in trauma resolution, attachment, parts work, and nervous system regulation. But before she was a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trained in Polyvagal interventions, she first came to this work as someone struggling to find relief. It was through her own healing that led her to become a trained professional, now helping thousands of people across her programs, courses, and classes to do the same.

Her work has literally changed my life and now I have full awareness over my nervous system. I am learning even more insight from this podcast which I didn’t expect. Sometimes I’ll fall asleep to it — in a good way.

CC124567 · Apr 2025

This podcast has personally helped me in a really challenging period of my life. It’s been a soothing balm of Truth for my body and spirit. It literally makes so much sense - and Sarah’s clarity and ability to share this information has helped me have more self-compassion, and with the gentle light of understanding liberated me out of cycles and dynamics I’d found myself in. Having access to this clear channel has helped me reorient and really provided me with a lifeline. Thank you so much Sarah. This work is so profoundly important. I can’t express my gratitude.
