Architecture of Descent: Repairing a Woman’s Body in Early Fall


Listen Later

What if slowing down wasn’t failure, but repair?

In this 15-minute episode, I invite you to rethink what descent really means—not collapse, not decline, but the intelligent architecture every living system relies on to restore itself. We’ll move through story, physiology, and ritual to explore the five pillars that hold a woman’s body in early fall:

  • Time — how light and rhythm choreograph your hormones

  • Matter — minerals and metabolism as the floor of safety

  • Load — your nervous system’s capacity and why titration heals

  • Relation — boundaries as biological protection

  • Meaning — story as the vessel that makes repair possible

Along the way, I share personal stories, patient experiences, and practical experiments you can use this week. You’ll learn why fall is not the time to push harder, but to build the scaffolding that allows your body to repair: dimming lights, front-loading nourishment, mineral mending, downshift rituals, and one honest “no.”

This isn’t performative wellness or another list of “shoulds.” It’s a reframe of repair as sacred, structural, and non-negotiable. And it’s where the 7-Day Descent Experiment was born—a set of simple, daily practices designed to help your body remember how to heal.

If you are ready to step out of endless summer and into the rhythm of repair, this episode is your invitation.
