E75: You Are Not a Machine: A Nervous System-Friendly Approach to Work and Life
In today’s episode "You Are Not a Machine: A Nervous System-Friendly Approach to Work and Life", I’m sharing a heartfelt reflection inspired by recent conversations with many of you in my coaching programmes - sensitive and conscientious practitioners who are doing incredible work yet feeling stretched, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what your body is asking for. I'm sharing my own exploration too because I’ve been navigating my own version of this inner conflict.
Let’s explore together the challenges of balancing the drive to keep going and showing up, with the deep wisdom of our bodies and nature, both of which often whisper (or shout!) that it’s time to slow down. I share personal stories, reflections, and practical insights to help you honor your needs and redefine what success and consistency look like - on your own terms.
In this episode, I talk about:
Why so many of us feel the pull between rest and the relentless push of societal expectations.
The importance of acknowledging and honouring how we’re feeling before rushing to “fix” anything.
How guilt and shame around rest hold us back from true balance and creativity.
What redefining productivity and consistency can look like in a nervous system-friendly, embodied way.
The wisdom of our bodies and natural cycles as a guide to structuring our work and life.
Practical questions to reflect on how you’re showing up in your work and your life.
I invite you to take a pause, to reflect, and to ask yourself:
What’s one thing you can do today to honor your needs and body wisdom - with tenderness and compassion - not someday, but right here, right now?
This is about living intentionally, in alignment with your body and Core Values, and creating the spaciousness you deserve to live, love, and work well. Let's explore this together.
