Moment of Stillness with Etai Atula

She Studies Healing… But Can’t Heal Herself (Yet)

Etai Atula

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with a naturopathic medicine student from Toronto who opens up about her struggles with burnout, ADHD, and the overwhelming demands of her academic program. Though she's immersed in the world of wellness, she's finding it hard to prioritize her own health.

We talk about the tension between knowing what’s good for you and actually doing it. From using noise to escape racing thoughts, to the emotional toll of living on autopilot, to the courage it takes to show up for yourself—this episode explores what real self-care looks like when life is heavy.

Topics we explore:

  • The impact of ADHD on daily routines and mental health
  • Why “should” and “try” often backfire
  • The power of micro-habits like rolling out your yoga mat for one minute
  • Walking meditation and gentle ways to reconnect with your body
  • How to rebuild trust in yourself through small consistent action
