Ep 126: When the One Who Holds… Gets Held

from Unlearning · host Shayna Naus

An unplanned… but it felt important to share.This week, I lost my grandma. And later that same day, while teaching a class in a practice I’ve held for years… I broke open in a way I didn’t expect.In a room where I’m usually the one holding others, I was the one being held.In this episode, I’m sharing what happened, what it revealed about the nervous system, grief, control, and the identity of “being the strong one”… and why learning to receive support might be the most important part of healing.If you’ve ever felt like you have to hold it all together, this one is for you 🤍
