In this week’s episode of Basically Unbothered, Gabi is joined by educator and trauma specialist Dee for a reflective, grounding conversation just in time for the holidays. What begins as a casual catch-up unfolds into a deeper discussion about inner work, burnout, and the quiet power of living with intention.

Dee shares her experience teaching high school for over 20 years and how working closely with students led her into trauma awareness and healing work. Together, they explore what it means to pursue passion without hustle culture, question traditional ideas of productivity, and create routines that support the nervous system rather than overwhelm it.

From intentional mornings and slow living to redefining success and fulfillment, this episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be rushed and purpose doesn’t have to be loud. A thoughtful listen for anyone seeking alignment, rest, and a more grounded way of moving through life.
