You’ll learn:

• The difference between structural issues and functional patterns
• How chronic stress and emotional suppression impact your body

Grace is joined by therapist Christie Uipi, LCSW, founder of the Better Mind Center, to explore what it means to have a higher needs or sensitive nervous system. Christie shares her personal healing journey, how chronic symptoms often stem from learned neural pathways, and why sensitivity isn’t something to fix—but to understand and support.

They discuss how to know the difference between a limit and a growth edge, the pitfalls of perfectionism in healing, and how building a life around your nervous system’s true needs can actually bring more joy, not less.

Takeaways:

• Nervous system sensitivity is real—and workable
• Not all limits are bad; some are containers for thriving
• Self-care isn’t weakness, it’s strategy
• You don’t have to be “exceptional” to be at peace
• Healing often means doing less, not more

Full Morning Routine in Writing Below

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No phone/screens
Stay off devices to protect your nervous system and stay grounded in your body.

Ground + Breathe (1–3 min)

• Seated cat-cow or spinal twists
• Light tapping down the body
• Fascia release: slow arm squeezes
• Vagus nerve activation: hum, sigh, or “vooo”

Journal or JournalSpeak (10–20 min)

• Free-write raw emotions or daily triggers
• Use prompts:
   What part of me is here? What does it need? What truth needs to be spoken?
• Follow with affirmations to rewire beliefs
   (e.g. I am safe. I am enough. I deserve peace.)

Short Meditation (1–5 min)

• Breath focus, somatic tracking, or loving presence
• Start small — even 1 minute is powerful

Get Outside (if possible)

• Walk, breathe fresh air, sit in sunlight or nature
• Ground yourself in the environment

Adapt to your needs

• Low energy? Skip movement, extend breath and journaling
• Overwhelmed? Focus on grounding only
• Let it be supportive, not rigid

In this episode, Grace is joined by somatic coach and author Sheridan Ruth for a powerful and grounded conversation about nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and the concept of somatic intelligence.

In this episode, they discuss:

• What somatic intelligence really means (and how it differs from emotional intelligence)
• Why traditional therapy or yoga alone might not be enough for deep healing
• How slowing down can feel unsafe—and what to do when it does
• The role of perfectionism in burnout and dysregulation
• Why tuning into your body isn’t just healing—it’s a radical act of self-trust

Sheridan also offers simple ways to begin tuning into your body—starting with the question: What am I aware of right now?
