This Sunday Session is all about the slow seasons — those phases where your health dips, symptoms flare, or you’re moving through an injury, and suddenly everything feels heavier than it should. If you’ve been waking up each day in discomfort, feeling mentally low, or wondering why even small tasks feel overwhelming, this episode is for you.
We explore:
How chronic symptoms and daily discomfort impact your brain and mood
Why slowing down is a form of resilience, not weakness
The science behind reducing stimulation to calm inflammation and nervous system stress
How giving your body less to fight against can actually help you rebuild strength long-term
What compassionate pacing looks like during a low-health period
And I share a little update on something I’ve been quietly working on behind the scenes — a supportive, nervous-system-aware POTS programme built for both your strong seasons and your slower ones.
If you’re in a low phase right now, take a breath. You’re not falling behind. You’re repairing. You’re protecting your energy. You’re building the foundation for the next chapter.
Settle in, soften your shoulders, and let’s talk about resilience — the quiet kind. ✨
