May 2026: When Thought Work Isn’t Enough

In this episode, we're examining the limits of thought work and what happens when mindset tools aren't quite enough. Drawing on insights from a recent retreat, this conversation explores why feelings aren't problems to be solved — and what it actually means to let them move through you. You'll hear the difference between managing your emotional state and truly regulating your nervous system, including a helpful thermometer vs. thermostat framework for understanding the distinction. The episode also introduces three simple, research-backed somatic tools you can start using right away to support your body alongside the mindset work we've been doing together.
