If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything to heal — therapy, retreats, somatic work, journaling, breathwork — and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.

This week on Healing Her Story, we’re entering the last days of the lunar cycle, and with the waning moon comes an invitation we often resist: slow down.

So many of the women I work with are powerful, dedicated, and exhausted. They’re trying to heal by pushing harder — checking all the boxes, adding more to their calendar, constantly reaching for the next breakthrough.

But what if this way of healing is actually keeping your nervous system in the same survival loop?

In this short and potent episode, I share why “less is more” isn’t just a cliché — it’s a trauma-informed principle. You’ll hear a metaphor that will reframe your entire approach to healing, and I’ll walk you through how I’ve simplified my own practice to feel more supported, resourced, and whole.

We’ll explore:

🐌 Why nervous system regulation requires space, not pressure

🐌 How overdoing your healing can actually block your growth

🐌 What a slow, steady, effective practice can really look like

Whether you're navigating early childhood trauma, burnout, or just feeling like your healing journey has plateaued, this episode will help you create the conditions your nervous system actually needs to repair and receive.
