In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Posner—yoga therapist and mindfulness coach—for a powerful conversation on the mind-body connection and how stress shows up in our lives. We explore why perfectionism keeps so many of us stuck, how to get to the root cause of stress, and simple strategies to regulate cortisol levels and calm your nervous system.
Rachel also shares how to strengthen specific parts of the brain depending on your unique stressors, and why self-compassion—not shame—is the foundation for true healing. If you’ve ever craved feeling truly seen, heard, and supported in your journey, this episode is for you.
