How do you differentiate between comforting yourself and numbing yourself? In this Season 2 replay, we tackle this critical question as well as exploring how to strike a balance in our self-care practices. Victoria reminds us that prioritizing our comfort helps us to be the best version of ourselves - a truth that is undeniable. In a world often prioritizing productivity over wellbeing, this episode is a heartfelt invitation to redefine your comfort and priorities.

What if comfort became your radical act of self-advocacy, particularly when navigating the waters of medical trauma or chronic illness? Join me as I delve into this fascinating topic with Victoria Rodriguez, a licensed professional counselor and a PhD student. Victoria's insights offer a fresh perspective on how we perceive comfort and the profound way it impacts our wellness. Our bodies are our first homes, and she emphasizes how feeling unsafe due to medical trauma shakes us to our core. Together, we discuss interventions, offer hope, and shed light on this deeply personal experience.

This conversation is a call to arms - to listen to our bodily cues and boldly advocate for our needs.

Tune in, learn, and let's together champion the radical act of seeking comfort.

I'm sharing this Season 2 replay because it was one of the episodes that drastically changed my everyday perspectives. I hope it will change yours for the better, too. :)
