Reverence For Impulse
Is an unscripted and unplanned podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr and my brother Tim Pauly, both working in the worlds of somatics: exploring bodies and all they hold/do/feel. We start each guest encounter with a few minutes of meeting each other without words, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation.
This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things. It's about finding each other in the not-knowing. We’re here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — from the dark insides of our bodies to the bright insights of our minds, we’re excited to welcome people who’s impulses we’d like to get to know.

Since July 2025, Tim and I have been in the midst of a new podcast experiment! We don’t yet know exactly what form it will take or how it will eventually live in the world — but right now, we’re deep in recording, exploring, and enjoying this strange, new creative zone. As it continues to grow into itself, we’ll share more. We call it-
“Seeing and Being Seen: Family Edition”
We are siblings. We are family. The truth is, as much as we think we see our family — given all the hours, years, decades spent together — it can sometimes feel like family is actually who we see the least. The patterns, the roles, the cross-generational echoes are so strong, so familair, they can obscure what is perhaps more authentically alive in each of us.
So we thought: what if through the more contrived, strange setting of a Zoom podcast — we could thwart our familial patterns enough to see more than we normally see? To invite members of our own family into conversations that loosen the usual scripts, that make room for something more whole, more risky, more tender, more real.
With a set of disarming questions, a bit of show-and-tell, and the willingness to wander between what we know and what we don’t, we’re seeing if it’s possible to interrupt old family patterns — to open up the possibility of seeing each other in new and more alive ways.
