🎙 Episode 3: Learning the Language our Bodies Speak

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is stop, breathe, and give ourselves permission to pause. This episode is about slowing down enough to notice what we need.

We’ll explore the idea of self-regulation, which means learning to guide our own emotions and body responses back toward balance. It’s not about avoiding stress but about finding ways to return to steadiness when stress happens.

Somatic practices in this episode:

• 🧘 Hand-on-Heart with Statement: placing your hand on your chest while speaking a grounding phrase.
• 🪑 Seated Micro-Movements — small, gentle shifts to release tension and reconnect with your body

By the end, you’ll know how pausing is a powerful act of self-care, not a weakness.
