Hi folks!
Happy to share with you my conversation with
a few days back, as part of her Livestream series Living as Healing that took part during the month of May.In this conversation, I shared my understanding of healing not as something separate from life, but as life itself.
We talked about how each of us comes into the world with a unique nervous system and set of circumstances, and how — in order to survive — we often prioritize connection and belonging over our authenticity. That rupture, though subtle or profound, becomes the imprint that shapes how we show up in the world.
Healing, then, becomes the process of peeling back the layers, so our self-expression can come forward — not just in theory, but through felt experience.
I spoke about nervous system regulation as a foundation for this work — how we often live in a chronic state of stress or disconnection without realizing it, and how cultivating embodied safety is not a quick fix, but a gradual and compassionate practice of building trust.
I offered reflections on how safety lives in the pause—in that space between stimulus and response— where we increase our capacity to stay with discomfort.
We explored embodiment beyond formal practices — how it lives in everyday life, in how we eat, speak, rest, connect and relate. Embodiment viewed not as a practice in itself, but as a relationship we build— with our bodies and with the environment we are a part of.
I also shared personal insights into the tension many of us feel around being visible— how nervousness is natural when we step into our gifts and begin to share them with the world.
And how, through the process of showing up, we learn that being seen is safe.
We also explored how the personal growth journey can have many different entry points, the important thing being that you find what works uniquely for you.
At its heart, this conversation was an invitation to view this path not as an improvement project, but as an alive process fueled by curiosity and a sense of exploration.
If you’ve found a nugget of wisdom or inspiration, I’d love to hear it!
Until next time.
