This week on Healing Her Story, we’re tuning into the energy of the waning moon — a sacred window in the lunar and menstrual cycle that most women overlook… and yet, it holds the key to everything you're craving right now: clarity, rest, and real, embodied transformation.

We’re entering the premenstrual time of the cycle, a phase often labeled as “too much” — too emotional, too tired, too sensitive. But what if those symptoms were signals? What if the mood swings, overwhelm, and exhaustion weren’t problems to fix… but messages asking you to slow down?

✨ Because here’s the truth: slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind.
It means you’re finally moving in rhythm with your body. ✨

In this episode, I’ll help you:

• Understand why this phase of the cycle feels so intense
• Release the pressure to perform when your body is asking for pause
• Identify the cost of ignoring your rhythms and how it affects your healing
• Learn how to integrate your growth without burnout or bypass
• Get practical steps for slowing down in everyday life (without stopping everything)

You’ll walk away with a new lens on your struggle and a deeper understanding of why your current approach to healing or growth might not be working — and what to do instead.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, fatigued, overwhelmed, or like your body is begging for something different — this episode is your permission slip to pause, reset, and listen.

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.

In this week’s episode of Healing Her Story, we’re tuning into the quiet power of the days following the full moon — a phase often overlooked, yet profoundly important for deep, lasting healing.

The week of July 14th holds us in the post-full moon phase, a time rooted in what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls the Earth element — a fifth season nestled between summer and fall. This phase invites us to slow down, ground, and digest everything that was illuminated under the bright light of the full moon.

This is not a time to push forward or chase the next big thing.
It’s a time to integrate what’s already been revealed.

If you’ve ever had a big realization during a retreat, ceremony, or therapy session — but then struggled to apply that insight in daily life — this episode is for you.

We talk about:

✨ Why post-full moon energy is a secret phase every woman needs to know about

✨ How integration is the key to true transformation

✨ The real reason you keep hearing the same messages from your body and your healing work

✨Why your nervous system, not your willpower, determines lasting change

✨Simple ways to shift from consuming healing to living it

This episode is especially for the woman who feels stuck in a cycle of knowing what needs to change… but not knowing how to make it happen. If you’ve been looping the same lessons or wondering why you’re not seeing more progress in your healing, this conversation will help you shift gears — gently, somatically, and sustainably.
