For a long time, I thought I just needed better strategies.
Better time management.
Better business plans.
Better systems.
More discipline.
What I didn’t realize was that underneath so much of my anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and exhaustion was a nervous system that didn’t actually trust me to lead my own life.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing more personally about:
- my journey from clinical health psychology into creativity-centered community work
- healing beyond insight and intellectual understanding
- the role dance and embodiment have played in my life
- parenting, authenticity, and “Pack Leadership”
- why creativity and play are not frivolous
- and how learning to trust myself changed the way I live, parent, work, and lead
This episode is a little messy, honest, reflective, and deeply human. It’s less of a polished teaching episode and more of a real conversation about what happens when we stop trying to perform healing and start actually living more fully in our bodies and lives.
I also talk about:
✨ hyper-independence
✨ body trust
✨ entrepreneurship and burnout
✨ emotional regulation
✨ perfectionism and visibility
✨ why therapists/helpers often struggle to receive support themselves
✨ and why creativity can become a pathway back to ourselves
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve done “all the work” but still feel disconnected from yourself, your joy, or your direction, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone.
