There’s a quiet kind of courage in letting yourself enjoy something simple, without guilt, without earning it first. In this episode, I share how one small daily ritual is helping me soften my nervous system, shift out of restriction, and invite more ease, pleasure, and presence into my mornings. We explore how tiny, intentional practices can become powerful tools for anxiety, burnout, and self-judgment—without needing hours of self-care or a big life overhaul. If you’ve been delaying joy until you “deserve it,” this conversation will feel like a gentle permission slip back to yourself.

Reflection for you: What is one tiny daily pleasure you could allow yourself—fully, and without explanation—starting today?
