What do sourdough bread and trauma healing have in common? More than you’d think.

In this episode, Kayla shares the unexpected hobby that’s been quietly regulating her nervous system and what it taught her about a piece of healing she didn’t know she was still missing. If you’ve done the therapy, written the journal entries, set the boundaries, and still feel anxious, shaky, or unable to sleep, this one is for you.

Your mind and your body heal differently. And until you address both, you’re only healing half of yourself.
