How to Come Back to Presence When Life Feels Heavy

In this episode, I’m slowing things down and talking about what it really means to come back to yourself when life feels intense, overwhelming, or just a bit too much. I share why reconnecting with your mind, body and spirit is not some abstract idea, but a practical, and necessary, everyday way to feel safer, calmer and more grounded in your own life.We get into body intelligence, emotional awareness, and the ways your body is constantly communicating with you, even when you’re not listening (which is often for many of us!). I also talk about stress, coping habits, and simple practices to help you feel more present because this is the only place that truth really exists.And it’s usually easier than you think - sometimes it really does start with just five intentional minutes a day of returning back to yourself.Highlights:(02:15) - Why you need to pause and let yourself feel the discomfort in order to not feel it anymore(04:34) - Breaking the MBS Integration and why it can change your life(07:24) - The science that proves your physical and mental health are always linked(11:56) - A fascinating research study that exhibits the power of emotions in the physical body(17:19) - The damages of that can occur when ignoring your connection to yourself(27:32) - Simple practices to help you come back into your body and the present momentAdd additional links / resources:2014 Study - Body Map of Emotions (Nummenmaa, Glerean, Hari, & Hietanen, 2014)Resources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
