In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a little about my own unexpected inward journey this summer and what I’ve been noticing as I move through a season of reflection, change, and growth.
We often think of certain seasons as times to slow down and turn inward, but sometimes that process happens when we least expect it. I’ve been spending a lot of time listening, noticing patterns, and getting honest about the ways I want to show up in my life.
This episode explores the question: What are you practicing?
Because every day, through our thoughts, habits, and choices, we’re strengthening something. We’re practicing ways of relating to ourselves, to discomfort, and to the life we’re creating.
I share how returning to weightlifting has become a practice in more than just physical strength. It’s been an opportunity to build self-trust, stay present through discomfort, and remind myself that I can keep showing up, even when motivation isn’t there.
We’ll explore:
Building self-trust through small, consistent choices
Moving from feeling like life is happening to us, toward becoming active participants in our lives
How our daily practices shape the relationship we have with ourselves
Learning to choose what feels true, rather than what feels expected
This week’s somatic practice is a simple circular breath practice designed to soften effort, create space, and remind the body that it doesn’t always have to brace or push.
As we move through seasons of contraction and expansion, we always have the opportunity to pause and ask: What do I want to orient to now? And what practices will benefit me in that?
Take a breath, let's slow down together.
