Does it ever annoy you when people tell you you need to slow down?

Especially when there’s so much to do, and so much you want to do, slowing down can feel like the last thing you need.

Or maybe you crave a more intentional pace, but feel like you need to turn your life into Pinterest perfection.

Today’s episode explores what slowing down actually means in the body.

Think less retreating from life, more feeling safe enough to actually inhabit it.

We explore:

• Why “just relax” isn’t helpful advice
• What you’re really seeking when you want to slow down, and a more honest way to get there
• Three luxurious ways to tend your feminine nervous system

Make like a sloth and climb on in.

Themes:
slowing down, nervous system regulation, feminine nervous system, presence practice, how to relax, stress relief for women, somatic healing, polyvagal theory for beginners
