Sacred Six on on Stress, Sanity and Sacred Rituals

Over the past year, I've been quietly building a whole new chapter of Beauticate. It's been exciting, fulfilling, creative and, if I'm honest, incredibly stressful at times.In this solo Sacred Six episode, I'm sharing the six rituals, tools and practices that have helped me stay grounded, regulate my nervous system and protect my wellbeing during one of the busiest periods of my life.From infrared saunas and nervous system support to community walks, breath work and the surprising gadget that's become a daily non-negotiable, these are the habits helping me navigate long workdays, chronic pain, anxiety and overwhelm.If you've been feeling stretched too thin, struggling with stress, burnout, poor sleep or simply trying to hold everything together, I hope this conversation offers some practical inspiration and a reminder that small rituals can have a profound impact.In this episode, we discuss:Why nervous system regulation has become my number one wellbeing priorityThe surprising benefits of infrared sauna sessions for stress, sleep and chronic painHow community connection can dramatically improve mental healthThe meditation ritual I've relied on for years to manage anxiety and insomniaMy favourite tools for relieving neck and back tension during stressful periodsWhy vagus nerve stimulation has become part of my daily wellbeing practiceThe simple mobility exercise that helps me manage chronic pain and inflammationWhether you're navigating a demanding season of life, experiencing burnout, struggling with sleep or simply looking for ways to feel calmer and more resilient, this episode is packed with practical tools you can start using immediately.If you enjoyed this conversation, I'd be so grateful if you'd leave a review, rate the podcast and share it with a friend.
