  • I'm Tired
    Oct 10 2025

    In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Hurt, April and Andrea dive into the many layers of feeling “tired.” From physical fatigue and soul exhaustion to the existential weariness that comes with living through challenging times, they unpack how modern life and even “good” busyness can drain our energy.


    Through honest reflection and relatable stories, they explore how rest isn’t something to be earned but a vital part of healing. The hosts share practical tools for calming the nervous system, restoring balance, and finding peace through mindful rest and energy medicine techniques.


    You’ll also learn a simple grounding exercise that helps release eye and body fatigue, plus a few lighthearted moments to remind us that healing can include laughter, too.

  • I'm Fine
    Oct 1 2025

    In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Hurt, April and Andrea unpack the phrase we all use but rarely mean: “I’m fine.” Together, they explore how this universal mask hides our true emotions, creates disconnection, and keeps us in survival mode. They reflect on the childhood messages that taught us to suppress feelings, the exhaustion of constant masking, and how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-giving often keep us from authenticity.

    With warmth and humor (including a memorable bra analogy), they share practical tools like grounding exercises and gentle self-regulation practices to help us recognize when we’re hiding, soften the inner critic, and safely return to alignment. This episode is a reminder that healing starts with awareness, choice, and the courage to show up as our real selves.

  • I’m Overwhelmed
    Sep 23 2025

    We’re overwhelmed — plain and simple. Between juggling work, family, and all the things we think we should be doing, sometimes it just feels like too much. In this episode we talk honestly about that feeling, why it happens, and how we’re trying to give ourselves a little more grace in the middle of it. We also share what’s helping us regulate and find some relief from the suffering of overwhelm.


    If you’ve ever felt like you’re running in a hundred directions at once, you’re not alone — we’re right there with you.
