02. Noticing Disconnection Before Burnout

In this episode of The Slowdown, we explore what it really means to feel connected to ourselves and how to notice when we’ve drifted away. I share how launching this podcast brought excitement, creativity, and energy, but also left my body feeling a little ungrounded. From there, we talk about the subtle signs of disconnection, why our culture is obsessed with “fixing” instead of noticing, and how awareness *not perfection* is what brings us home.You’ll be guided through a gentle somatic practice, inviting your body to soften, settle, and return to safety. We end with simple journal prompts to help you recognize your own cues: the ways your body, breath, and behaviour whisper “slow down.”Disconnection isn’t a failure, it’s a signal. And all of us drift. The practice is noticing, and make a choice from there.Journal Prompts:What are the early signs that I’m becoming disconnected from myself?What does my body, my mood, or my behaviour start to show me?What are the small things that help me come back into connection?Some people notice it in their breath, some in their thoughts, some in how they speak to others, or how quickly they get overwhelmed. Bringing awareness to those cues makes room for choice — not perfection, but presence.Take a breath.
