EP10: Everyday Rituals to Support Nervous System Health and Emotional Resilience with Christie Jordan
Manage episode 483847660 series 3609640
Your nervous system might be trying to tell you something. And the real question is, are you listening?
In this episode, Abby Starr continues her conversation with Christie Jordan, an acupuncturist and the founder of Source Healing, about how the way we feel physically often starts with what’s happening beneath the surface. Christie shares how unresolved emotions, environmental factors, and even the foods we eat can affect everything from anxiety and fatigue to more complex conditions like PCOS or alopecia.
Christie also introduces a wellness box curated in partnership with Source & Self, filled with purposeful tools like candles, tinctures, and smudge sticks. These aren’t just pretty add-ons. They’re rooted in Chinese medicine and chosen to help bring the body back into balance. Christie explains why lighting a candle on a damp day does more than set the mood, and how tending to our bodies is a lot like tending to the earth.
Christie opens up about her own journey, moving through depression, rediscovering connection through meditation, and watching her father defy a late-stage cancer diagnosis through sheer will and lifestyle shifts. It’s a story about healing that doesn’t rely on shortcuts or fixes but instead asks: What if we gave ourselves permission to slow down and pay attention?
You’ll walk away with a new understanding of what it means to feel safe in your body, and how to return to that feeling, one breath at a time.
