86 The Spleen, Late Summer & Reclaiming Your Energy.

As we move into Late Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, the energy naturally begins to shift. This is the season that Chinese Medicine places at the very centre of the year — and the centre of you.   In this episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we explore the Spleen, an often-overlooked organ system that governs not just digestion, but your energy, mental clarity, emotional processing, and sense of inner stability.   If you’ve been feeling foggy, tired, heavy after eating, stuck in overthinking loops, or like you’re giving more than you have — this episode will help you understand why.   You’ll learn how the Spleen digests life itself — your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — and how Late Summer invites us to slow down, regroup, and come back to centre.   This is a gentle, grounding episode about reclaiming your energy, softening worry, and learning how to nourish yourself from the inside out — right when your body needs it most.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2026/02/25/86-the-spleen-late-summer-reclaiming-your-energy/   Resources…   Ep.14 Feelings.

For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.   In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.   Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.   My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same.   On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!   If you’d like to read my full love story and bio - including all my credentials - head to https://gettingnaked.com.au/tamra/   Contact…   Website: https://gettingnaked.com.au/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gettingnaked/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RelationshipQueen/   Music written by Tamra Mercieca and Grey Milton.
