Let's Sit With This
Let’s Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, a licensed therapist.
This is a place to talk about hard things in a light, understandable way—more like chatting around a campfire than sitting in a therapist’s office. The conversations here are calm, grounded, and human, with space to slow down and think things through.
We talk about getting through hard moments, healing old hurt, and growing into someone you’re proud of. Some episodes are quiet reflections, some are practical and skill-based, and others are conversations that invite curiosity and perspective. Nothing performative. Nothing overcomplicated.
Pull up a chair, get comfy, and let’s sit with this together.

Why Some Grounding Skills Might Not Work for You (And That’s Okay)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before we dive into grounding and mindfulness tools, I want to talk about something important: not every regulation skill will feel safe for every nervous system—and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. In this short episode, I share how trauma can impact your response to common grounding practices like breathwork, silence, or body-based exercises. You'll hear why it’s okay to adapt or skip techniques that don’t feel right, and how to start finding what actually works for you.
Because regulation should feel supportive, not triggering. And your body’s response makes sense.
