What your nervous system actually does

Why burnout, brain fog, and “laziness” are often misunderstood signals

EPISODE 1 – The Healing Mistake That’s Holding You Back

Episode Summary:
You’re eating well, taking supplements, exercising, but you’re still not feeling your best. Sound familiar?

One of the biggest mistakes women make in their healing journey is expecting quick results and switching strategies too soon. True healing isn’t about finding a magic fix… it’s about patience, consistency, and addressing all the factors that impact your health.

In this episode, I break down:


️ Why healing takes longer than expected (and why that’s completely normal)


️ How years of stress, trauma, and diet choices build up in your body


️ The dangers of "practitioner hopping"—and why it could be slowing your progress


️ Why there’s never just one thing that will fix your health


️ The key habits of women who see real, lasting improvements

Your body wants to heal—it just needs time, the right support, and a consistent approach. If you’ve been feeling frustrated by slow progress, this episode is for you.

Tune in now and learn how to break free from the cycle of quick-fix solutions and start seeing real, sustainable changes in your health.
