If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything to heal — therapy, retreats, somatic work, journaling, breathwork — and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.This week on Healing Her Story, we’re entering the last days of the lunar cycle, and with the waning moon comes an invitation we often resist: slow down.So many of the women I work with are powerful, dedicated, and exhausted. They’re trying to heal by pushing harder — checking all the boxes, adding more to their calendar, constantly reaching for the next breakthrough.But what if this way of healing is actually keeping your nervous system in the same survival loop?In this short and potent episode, I share why “less is more” isn’t just a cliché — it’s a trauma-informed principle.
