  • Weekly Cycle Check In: How to Let Go With the Waning Moon
    Feb 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to this week’s check-in on Healing Her Story! As we move into the waning moon phase, we’re invited into a quieter, more introspective space that deeply supports letting go. But here’s the thing: letting go isn’t something we force with the mind. It’s something the body already knows how to do in its own time and way.

    In this episode, we’ll explore:

    🌘 Why now is the time to let go—not at the full moon

    🌘 How to release with the body instead of the mind

    🌘The wisdom of your nervous system & the intelligence that already knows how to let go

    🌘 Why we can’t control healing—but we can create space for it to unfold

    🌘 How increased sensitivity during this phase can support deeper healing

    🌘 Simple somatic practices to help you surrender & release


    This episode is for you if:
    🌘 You feel stuck in old emotions or patterns and don’t know how to let go
    🌘 You tend to overthink your healing and want a more embodied approach
    🌘 You’re craving more ease and trust in your healing process
    🌘 You want to move through this lunar phase with intention and self-compassion

    🤲🏼 Take Your Healing Deeper
    To support you this week, I’ve created a Somatic Breathing Meditation for Letting Go on Insight Timer. This practice will help you gently release tension, emotions, and anything that no longer serves—without forcing or pushing.

  • Why You Can't Think Your Way Into Feeling Safe And What To Do Instead
    Feb 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Is your mind always racing, trying to “figure out” why you feel anxious or overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly searching for the next mindset shift or affirmation, hoping it will help you feel safe? If so, this episode is for you.

    In today’s episode, we’re busting the myth that you can think your way into safety. True safety isn’t just an idea—it’s a felt experience in your body. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of overanalyzing, overthinking, or feeling disconnected, I’m sharing what to do instead.


    🔍 In This Episode, We Explore:


    🌹 What does it even mean to feel safe? A reflection to help you explore this for yourself


    🌹 How to know if your body is actually experiencing safety (hint: it’s not just about feeling “calm”)


    🌹 What the rest and digest state is and why spending time here is essential for deep healing


    🌹 The biological shifts that happen when your nervous system is in a true state of safety


    🌹 Why we need others for healing—co-regulation and the power of safe connection

    🌹Simple, effective tools to help your body access safety in everyday life

    If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, feeling like you constantly need to fix or change yourself, this episode will help you step into a new way of being—one that supports true healing, sustainability, and self-trust.

    Ready to begin? Start with my free guided meditation, Creating Your Felt Sense of Safety, on Insight Timer. This meditation will gently guide you into a state of embodied safety, helping you reconnect with your body in a nurturing way.
