018 - Deeper Than Self-Care

This International Women’s History Month, I’ve been sitting with a question that feels both personal and collective.How do we stay grounded in our light when the world feels heavy?Between the ongoing violence in Gaza, the unsettling reminders of how power protects itself in the Epstein files, and the growing threats of military escalation across the globe, many of us are carrying a quiet density in our bodies.You may feel it as tension.Fatigue.Grief.Irritability.Numbness.Self-care helps.But what is needed right now is deeper than self-care.In this episode, I share a powerful moment from my son’s pediatrician visit while completing the Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS). His score was zero. A number that represents generational healing, not perfection, but interruption.We explore:• The difference between self-care and healing• Why nervous systems inherit patterns relationally• How tending the soil is different from watering the plant• The role of subconscious rewiring through hypnobirthing and clinical hypnosis• Why leadership without healing becomes performance• And how we interrupt what we inheritedI also share my own healing journey, including therapy, curanderismo, acupuncture, Spinal Network Care, and ongoing professional training in clinical hypnosis.This is not a call to abandon self-care.It is an invitation to go deeper.To tend the soil.To build resilience that can hold intensity.To stay grounded in your light not because the world is calm, but because you have done the work to root yourself.Reflection Questions:• Where are you practicing self-care, and where might deeper healing be calling you?• What patterns are you interrupting in your lineage?• Who are the women who watered you, and what are you choosing to pay forward?Babygurl, healing is personal. And it is historical.When you change the soil, you shift the lineage.🎧 Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this.
