22. Where I’ve Been, What’s Coming & Healing Beyond Productivity
Tue Feb 03 2026
Ever feel guilty for slowing down—like you’ll lose momentum, purpose, or yourself if you stop?
That’s the edge I found myself on this winter.
In this season opener of Healing at the Root, I’m sharing where I’ve been during my break, what this season of life has been asking of me, and how grief, rest, and nervous system honesty reshaped how I move forward- personally, professionally, and in my body.
This episode is less about having it all figured out and more about letting life actually change you.
✨ In this episode, we’ll cover:
Why slowing down can feel threatening when your worth is tied to productivity
How grief, loss, and uncertainty activate old nervous system patterns
What it looks like to rest without spiraling into shame or fear
Rebuilding a relationship with your body after loss and control-based “health”
Rethinking habits (like cannabis, dopamine, and stimulation) through a nervous system lens
Why healing isn’t about optimization—it’s about capacity, honesty, and self-trust
What’s evolving inside Regulate & Release and why deeper support matters
✨ If you’re ready to work at the rootApply to join Regulate & Release, my core nervous system healing program designed to help you regulate, rewire, and rebuild safety from the inside out.→ [Apply here or DM me: HEAL]
