In this episode, Juliette Eleonora opens a deeply personal conversation around anxiety — not as a disorder to “fix,” but as a signal of a body and spirit longing to return to safety. Through the integrated lens of Chinese Medicine, she explores how anxiety is not just mental, but a pattern held in breath, blood, nervous system, and narrative.
Juliette shares how reconnecting Heart and Kidney — the Shen and the Jing — became the foundation of her healing, and how practices like acupuncture, nourishment, strength training, ritual, and emotional processing rewired her internal landscape. This episode reframes healing as the slow, devotional work of teaching the body what safety feels like — again and again — until trust takes root.
A gentle, grounded exploration for anyone who has felt like their body was stuck in survival and is ready to return home to steadiness, breath, and quiet inner power.
