Ep. 25: Trying to Solve Feeling Problems with Thinking Solutions

In this episode of Low and Slow, we explore a pattern so many of us fall into without even realizing it: trying to think our way out of what we actually need to feel our way through. When emotions rise, the mind rushes in with solutions, logic, and fixing—but what happens when the real issue isn’t a thinking problem at all, but a feeling one?This conversation introduces a new and deeply loved woman of our coaching team, Melissa Curtis. Melissa is not only an incredible addition to the work we’re doing, but also a longtime friend—and the very connection point where Laken and I originally met. Her presence brings a grounded, embodied lens to everything we talk about in this episode, especially the importance of nervous system awareness, embodiment, and creating spaces where women can actually feel safe enough to heal.Together, we unpack how often women get caught in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking, and “fixing” themselves instead of slowing down long enough to listen to what their body is communicating. We talk about healing as a spiral rather than a straight line, the power of women’s circles and community, and why vulnerability is not a weakness—but a doorway into real transformation.At the heart of this episode is a reminder: self-acceptance doesn’t come from solving yourself. It comes from learning how to be with yourself. And sometimes, the most powerful shift happens when we stop trying to think our way out—and start allowing ourselves to feel our way through.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!
