Ep. 239 Sacred Pauses: The Self-Care You've Been Missing

In today’s episode, we’re shifting the way you view self-care and stress. Because the truth is—by the time you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and on edge… your nervous system has already been in a state of dysregulation for a while.   This episode dives into the power of *micro breaks*—small, intentional pauses throughout your day that help regulate your nervous system before you reach burnout. You’ll learn why self-care isn’t about big, time-consuming routines, but about consistent, proactive moments of support.   If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to take care of yourself… this is your reminder that regulation happens in the little moments.   ---   What You’ll Learn:   * Why burnout is often a sign of ongoing nervous system dysregulation * The difference between reactive vs. proactive self-care * How micro breaks support your parasympathetic nervous system * Simple ways to integrate 2–10 minute resets into your daily life * Why small, consistent habits create sustainable change   ---    Key Takeaways:   * Self-care is not something you do after burnout—it’s how you prevent it * If you’re already overwhelmed, your body has been asking for support * Micro breaks (2–10 minutes) can increase energy and reduce fatigue * Your nervous system thrives on rhythm, not constant output * Tiny pauses throughout your day create long-term regulation   ---    Research + Support:   * Studies show that micro breaks under 10 minutes can **increase energy and reduce fatigue**, supporting overall well-being throughout the workday * Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and repair” state) helps regulate stress and improve emotional balance * Short, intentional pauses can improve focus, productivity, and mental clarity   ---   Try This:   Today, schedule **3 micro breaks** into your day:   * Take a 5–10 minute walk outside * Do a 2-minute breathing exercise * Stretch your body for 3–5 minutes   Notice how your body feels when you choose to support it *before* stress builds.   ---   Final Thoughts:   Self-care isn’t about doing more—it’s about creating space.   These small, sacred pauses are how you build trust with your body, regulate your nervous system, and show up more fully in your life.         Connect + Work With Me:   If you’re ready to go deeper into nervous system regulation, postpartum support, and holistic self-care, I’d love to support you.         Join Herbs For First Aid https://calendly.com/alignyourglowandsoul/herbs-for-first-aid [https://calendly.com/alignyourglowandsoul/herbs-for-first-aid]   Follow me www.instagram.com/mystic.herbal.doula [http://www.instagram.com/mystic.herbal.doula]

Ep. 238 Boundaries, Burnout & Your Nervous System ft. Sabrina Hall

Episode Summary: If you’ve ever found yourself saying “yes” when you really meant “no,” this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into the cycle of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overcommitting—and how it’s not just draining your energy, but actively impacting your health. This conversation unpacks the “chronic yes” pattern so many women live in, and how learning to slow down, set boundaries, and regulate your nervous system can completely transform your well-being. This isn’t about doing more to heal. It’s about doing less—with intention. What We Talk About: * The root of people-pleasing and why so many women struggle to say no * How the all-or-nothing mindset keeps you stuck in burnout cycles * Why overloading your body with “healing tools” can actually backfire * The connection between chronic stress and symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, and inflammation * Understanding your nervous system (fight/flight vs. rest/digest) in simple terms * Why nervous system regulation is foundational for true healing Key Takeaways: * Healing doesn’t happen in urgency—it happens in safety * Small, consistent changes are more powerful than extreme overhauls * Boundaries don’t have to be harsh—they can be soft, loving, and gradual * Your body isn’t working against you—it’s communicating with you * Regulating your nervous system is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health Practical Tools Shared: * A simple eye movement exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve * Beginner-friendly guided meditation tips * Gentle ways to start setting boundaries without overwhelm * How to approach healing with curiosity instead of self-judgment A Reminder for You: You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to prove your worth through overgiving. And you don’t have to say yes to everything to be loved. Your healing gets to be slow, safe, and supportive.

Ep. 236 Releasing What’s Been Holding You Back with Stacey Phillips

In this powerful and heart-opening episode, I sit down with energy worker Stacey Phillips, an Emotion and Body Code practitioner, to explore how unresolved emotions can live in the body—and how we can gently begin to release them. Stacey shares how this modality helps women move through “stuck” emotional energy that may be showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, or even physical discomfort. We talk about how these trapped emotions can stem from past experiences, and how bringing awareness and intention to them creates space for healing, clarity, and alignment. We also dive into Stacey’s work with children, highlighting how emotional energy shows up differently in little ones and how supporting them early on can create a foundation of emotional resilience and self-awareness. One of the most grounding parts of our conversation is around nervous system regulation. Stacey offers simple, realistic daily rituals that anyone can incorporate—reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Small, consistent steps truly do create big, lasting change. This episode is a beautiful reminder that your body holds wisdom, your emotions are worthy of being felt, and healing can be both gentle and empowering.   Connect with Stacey   https://www.instagram.com/freshstartenergyhealing [https://www.instagram.com/freshstartenergyhealing] Free consultation - https://freshstartenergyhealing.com/booking-calendar [https://freshstartenergyhealing.com/booking-calendar]   Connect with me: www.instagram.com/sparkle.vibrations [http://www.instagram.com/sparkle.vibrations] www.instragram.com/mystic.herbal.doula [http://www.instragram.com/mystic.herbal.doula]
