💬 Episode Summary:

In this episode of That’s What She Said, we’re diving into the heart of how to stay grounded, connected, and clear in the midst of political chaos. When the world feels heavy and overwhelming, how do we resist burnout while continuing to show up for what matters?

I’ll talk about why rest is not a retreat from the work—but a vital part of it, and how grounding practices like yoga, meditation, and nature walks can bring you back to center. We’ll also explore the emotional and energetic weight we carry during turbulent times, and how practices like therapy, breathwork, EMDR, writing, massage, Reiki, and energy healing can help you reclaim your power and refocus your energy with intention.

This episode is your permission slip to pause, feel, and root down—so you can rise back up stronger, softer, and more whole.

🧘‍♀️ Topics We Cover:

  • The nervous system’s response to political stress and collective trauma
  • The importance of rest as a radical, revolutionary act
  • Grounding practices to reset your energy (yoga, breathwork, walking meditation, and more)
  • How to send healing intentions to all beings—including those we disagree with
  • Tools to reclaim your power: therapy, energy work, EMDR, journaling, and talk therapy
  • Why emotional release during bodywork is part of deep, embodied healing
  • How presence, intention, and love can ripple outward and become a form of activism
  • Intuitive writing journal prompt. Set timer for 3 mins, start with this sentence and don't stop writing until the buzzer goes off "I am stepping into the version of myself that is"
