The Feel Good Nakd Podcast for Women

What if your five-year plan wasn’t meant to be followed? What if freedom came not from doing more—but from letting go? In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the journey of walking away from the timelines, titles, and metrics that once defined my worth. From failing the test that was supposed to launch my dream career… to chasing freedom as an entrepreneur and still finding myself burned out and never enough… to packing one suitcase and nomading around the world for three years in search of something slower, softer, and more real. We’ll talk about: * Why I stopped chasing influencer success (yes, I filmed workouts on my honeymoon 🙈) * The brain science behind why hustle, comparison, and digital clutter keep us stuck * What changed when I relocated to Portugal and began building a business around life—not the other way around   And you’ll get small but mighty ways to begin opting out, too—mentally, emotionally, and digitally.   📦 Ready to unpack your own version of freedom? 🎧 Listen for honest reflections, gentle challenges, and a new definition of success—one where your nervous system finally gets to exhale.   Listen to next: Ep 311 - Declutter Your Life  [https://feelgoodnakd.com/how-to-declutter-your-home-for-happiness-with-anita-yokota/]

Get ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about chronic pain, illness and healing. If you’ve been trying to “optimize” your health but still feel stuck in burnout, mystery symptoms, or food reactivity…think gluten or dairy intolerances—this conversation is for you. I sit down with Faith Ashenden—founder of That Healing Feeling and nervous system educator—who’s helped thousands of women around the world heal chronic symptoms and reclaim their energy through nervous system reset and holistic health. From 10 years of chronic illness and identity loss to rewiring her body’s stress response through deeper mind work, Faith shows you how healing is less about doing more—and more about trusting what’s already inside of you.

Because if you’ve ever felt the clock ticking, the pressure to “hurry up,” or the weight of everyone else’s timeline—this conversation will set you free.
