This World Mental Health Day, I wanted to share something a little more personal.

In this episode, I talk about my own journey, including the challenges that first drew me to psychology and how somatic approaches became the integration point for so many things I’d been seeking in my own healing.

I also reflect on what it means to be with ourselves in moments of struggle, when asking for help feels impossibly hard, and when the parts of us that carry shame or fear feel especially loud.

This isn’t a clinical episode; it’s a human one. You’ll hear about the realities that shaped my path, why The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management is so close to my heart, and how the process of connecting body, mind, and compassion can help us move toward healing.

We also explore the difference between self-soothing and self-care, and how both can open the door to deeper work, the kind that supports real integration and long-term regulation.

Listen in if you’ve ever wondered why caring for your nervous system matters, or if you simply need a gentle reminder that you’re not alone on your journey.
