16. Following Joy

from The Slowdown · host Katherine Gluck | Embodiment and Mindfulness Guide

This week I’m reflecting on something simple that helped shift my nervous system: repotting a plant with my kids. It reminded me how easily pressure can pull us away from the small moments of joy that actually help us feel regulated. In this episode, we explore how joy, curiosity, and presence can gently bring the body back into balance. I’ll also guide you through a somatic practice to help you notice where your energy wants to move and follow one small spark of what feels nourishing.Take a breath.
