In this follow-up to Part 1, I’m sharing the next set of personal signs that showed me my nervous system was actually healing. From giving without guilt to finding joy in the tiniest moments, these shifts are proof that peace doesn’t always arrive with fireworks - it often sneaks in quietly.

I get real about what healing looks like, that it can be messy and human (and sometimes hilarious). Calm isn’t a destination - it’s a practice your body learns over time. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re making progress, this may just be the conversation you needed to hear. 

Highlights:

(02:05) – How “faking it till you make it” opens your capacity to receive

(05:45) – When challenges no longer define your life

(09:20) – The connection between safety and vulnerability

(14:55) – What oversharing means and finding balance in being open

(18:10) – The simple joy of everyday moments

(23:40) – Holding more without chaos or burnout
