Most people think selfācare means bubble baths and time offafter burnout.
But unclenching ā the conscious release of held tension ā is not recovery.
Itās strategy.
In this episode, I'm reframing nervousāsystem regulation as aform of embodied leadership ā a way to make clearer decisions, deepen connection, and sustain creativity without selfābetrayal.

Youāve probably been told that growth means doing more ā more posting, more pushing, more performing. But what if thatās the very thing keeping you stuck?
In this episode, Iām getting real about the truth no one talks about: growth isnāt about adding more pressure ā itās about releasing it. Iāll share how tightening your focus, listening to your nervous system, and unclenching from the chaos actually amplifies your magnetism.
Weāll talk about the moment I stopped throwing spaghetti at the wall, the single shift that changed how I attract clients and clarity, and why your next level doesnāt require more effort⦠just more alignment.
⨠Listen if youāre ready to grow through softness, not struggle.

Weāll explore practical ways to unclench, protect your energy, and create space for the life youāve been trying so hard to manifest.
⨠Listen in if youāre ready to stop people-pleasing, stop clenching, and start living from a place of softness and strength.

Youāre not broken. Youāre not ātoo much.ā And youāre not even angry ā youāre unheard.
In this episode of Gettinā in the Grove, I crack open one of the biggest lies women carry: that anger makes us irrational. The truth? What we call anger is often the weight of being silenced, dismissed, or told to ācalm down.ā
Weāll explore:
⨠Why anger isnāt the enemy ā suppression is
⨠How āperformative self-careā keeps you stuck in survival mode
⨠The radical shift of seeing anger as wisdom instead of weakness
