Mindful Moves
Mindful Moves is a podcast about nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and learning how to feel safe in your body again.
I created this space for people who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves and want something that actually helps.
Each episode explores how stress, emotions, and old patterns live in the body, not just the mind. We talk about nervous system states, regulation tools, boundaries, loneliness, confidence, and what it really means to slow down in a world that never stops.
You’ll find simple explanations, grounding practices, and honest reflections you can come back to when life feels like too much.
This podcast is for you if you want to move through life with more awareness, regulation, and self-trust, without forcing or fixing yourself.

Why Feeling Behind is More Common Than You Think
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you ever feel like you’re running out of time? As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to look back and reflect. However, for many of us, this reflection leads to a heavy feeling of being "behind" in life. Whether it’s career goals, relationship milestones, or financial status, we often measure our worth against a prescribed timeline that might not even belong to us.
In today’s episode of Mindful Moves, I dive deep into the psychology of "stagnancy" and why our nervous systems feel a sense of urgency to achieve. We discuss how modern social media has amplified our comparison trap from a local level to a global scale, making us feel like we're constantly losing a race.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why "Glow Ups" and radical New Year's resolutions can actually hurt your progress.
- How to build an intimate relationship with yourself to uncover your true desires.
- The power of redefining your idea of success.
- How to find your own pace and stop focusing on a future that hasn't happened yet.
- Stop chasing a timeline that doesn't fit your soul. It's time to meet yourself in the present moment.
