Hi my loves 🪷 Welcome back to The Self Indulgent Podcast and happy 2025! In this first episode of the year, we’re reflecting on the lessons 2024 brought and the intentions we’re setting for the year ahead. I’m diving into what it means to embrace change with self-compassion, the importance of mindfulness, and why constant self-improvement can sometimes feel exhausting.

We’ll talk about the power of play, building a strong foundation in your 20s, and balancing self-discovery with simply enjoying life. If you’ve been feeling stuck in "you vs. you" battles or struggling to find joy in the midst of self-development, this episode is for you. ✨ Let’s start the year with intention, curiosity, and a little more playfulness. 💖

Hi my loves In today’s episode, we’re briefly reflecting on 2024 and diving into how we can embrace 2025 with more self-awareness, love, and accountability. We’ll talk about reparenting—what it means to nurture and heal the past versions of ourselves; and I’ll share thoughts on uncovering unconscious beliefs, navigating self-care, and the importance of asking “why” to understand the root of our actions. I'm very much feeling the energy of owning our stories and it feels like such an empowering way to help embrace transformation and step into the new year with intention. ✨

Hi my loves 🪷 In today’s episode, we’re diving into the magic (and challenges) of understanding your nervous system and how it shapes the way you experience life. I’m breaking down survival states like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, so you can start recognizing why you react the way you do in certain situations. We’ll chat about how connecting with your body can be a game-changer for true healing and how practices like deep rest, sensory deprivation, and breathwork have helped me on my journey. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just out of sync, this one’s for you ✨ Let’s explore how understanding and healing your nervous system can transform your life. 💖
