When Life Hits… Old Habits Try To Come Back

When Life Is Lifing… What Do You Reach For? | Plantspiration® Unplugged

In this episode of Plantspiration® Unplugged, Stefanie and John get real about what happens when a normal week suddenly turns into a pain-filled, humbling, “well… there went my plans” kind of week.

After throwing her back out with one wrong move in the kitchen, Stefanie shares the old patterns that immediately tried to come back online — panic, comfort food cravings, catastrophizing, and the urge to spiral.

But this time… things were different.

Instead of steroids, pain pills, drive-thru food, and full-blown panic, recovery looked like this:

• Motrin • Acupuncture • Breathing • Rest • Anti-inflammatory food • Slowing down • Letting support in

This episode is about more than a back injury.

It’s about what healing changes.

It’s about how your body responds differently when your life responds differently.

It’s about what happens when life is lifeing… and you don’t go back to the old version of you.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The “BOOM” moment that took Stefanie out for the week • Why old habits try to come back when pain and stress hit • The difference between old coping vs real recovery • How lifestyle change affects more than just weight • Why rest, rhythm, and regulation matter when your body is inflamed • What daylight savings does to the body and why circadian rhythm matters • Why healing doesn’t require perfection — just progress

One of the most powerful moments in this episode:

“The way I was moving this week… is how I used to move through life.”

If you’ve ever had a setback that made you want to throw in the towel, numb out, order comfort food, or fall back into old habits…

This one’s for you.
