Are you craving calmness but struggling to slow down? Hero and Yoga Instructor Nicole Kim explores how stillness, movement, and rest work together to restore our bodies and nervous systems. With compassion and lived wisdom, Nicole shares the ways modern women are pushed into overdrive and taught to equate worth with output — and how we can begin to rewire that conditioning, one quiet moment at a time.

From yoga nidra and yin to Thai bodywork and beach naps, this episode offers tangible practices and gentle permission slips for women who feel stuck in “go mode.”
