In this episode, I explore what it really means to let go—from a nervous system perspective, not just a spiritual one. We’re often told to “detach” or “just let it go,” but when you’re clinging to something for survival—be it a relationship, money, validation, or identity—that kind of advice feels impossible, even cruel.

I share how attachment strategies develop from early childhood experiences, how they shape the way we hold on (often desperately), and what it looks like to gently shift into a place of self-trust and inner safety. This isn’t about bypassing or rushing—it’s about meeting the part of you that’s clinging with compassion, nervous system awareness, and time.

Whether you’re navigating the end of a relationship, a big transition, or just feel stuck in a loop of longing and fear, this episode offers a grounded, embodied path forward.

Top Episode Quotes:

"The part of you that’s clinging was born for a reason—it helped you survive. It’s not wrong. It’s wise."
"Letting go isn’t something we do with our heads—it’s something the body slowly learns to do when it feels safe enough."
"If you’re desperate for something, your nervous system is in a survival state. That’s not weakness. That’s an imprint."
"People feel your nervous system before they hear your words. If you’re in desperation, they’ll feel it—even if you smile through it."
"True release comes when the clinging part of you trusts you more than it trusts the person or thing it’s holding onto."

In this episode, I’m exploring a topic that hits so close to home for so many of us—avoidant attachment and the ways we subtly (and not-so-subtly) numb out when intimacy, connection, or conflict feel overwhelming.

If you find yourself scrolling instead of walking in the door, staying late at work to avoid closeness, or completely shutting down during an argument—you’re not broken. You’re protecting something tender. I unpack how avoidance is often a nervous system strategy rooted in early pain, how we carry unmet childhood needs into our most intimate relationships, and why numbing out is a form of survival, not failure.

We’ll also dive into gentle, practical ways to begin shifting these patterns, including rituals, somatic practices, and communication tools—and I’ll guide you through a powerful reflection practice to help you identify the need hiding underneath the urge to shut down.

This episode is here to remind you: You want connection. Your body just needs safety first.

Top Episode Quotes:

“Avoidance is not a personality trait—it’s a strategy your body learned to keep you safe.”

“We don’t numb out because we don’t care. We numb out because feeling would bring us too close to the pain we’ve been avoiding.”

“Your nervous system isn’t wrong for freezing. It’s doing what it was taught to do when love didn’t feel safe.”

“If you’ve ever stayed late at work, scrolled outside the house, or ghosted your own needs—that’s a clue. There’s something tender underneath.”

“You don’t have to bulldoze through fear to heal. You can walk slowly toward it, one safe step at a time.”

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the intersection of trauma and spirituality, and why so much of what we see in the modern spiritual space can be deeply harmful, especially for trauma survivors.

I explore how spiritual bypassing shows up in well-meaning practices, how analyzing our pain without actually feeling it keeps us stuck, and why healing isn’t about avoiding the shadow, it’s about moving through it, fully embodied.

You’ll hear my honest reflections on the spiritual “positivity-only” trend, the danger of working with untrained practitioners, and the transformative power of truly trauma-informed practices that allow us to cry, grieve, scream, shake, and finally shift the patterns that keep repeating.

This one’s raw, real, and a call to stop sugarcoating healing, and instead, do the work that actually changes lives.

“You’re attracting situations not with your mind—you’re attracting them with your body and your nervous system.”

“Healing isn’t about bypassing the pain—it’s about going back and finally feeling what couldn’t be felt before.”

“I’m so allergic to dishonesty and avoidance, especially when it’s dressed up as spiritual wisdom.”
