Ever been told “it’s all in your head” when you know your body is asking for help? That disconnect is more than frustrating—it’s often the very thing that deepens our stress, amplifies burnout, and keeps us stuck. In Episode 242: Holistic Psychology for Stress Relief: Bridging Eastern and Western Healing, I sit down with holistic psychologist Tatiana Miller to explore what happens when we stop chasing symptoms and start listening to our whole selves.
Tatiana’s story is powerful—from years of being dismissed by Western doctors to discovering healing through yoga, breathwork, and the philosophies of Eastern medicine. Her journey shows what’s possible when we combine modern psychology with mindful movement and emotional intelligence.
In this conversation, we talk about why traditional therapy often misses the mark, especially for women navigating midlife burnout. Tatiana explains how holistic psychology utilizes the four pillars of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, reflection, regulation, and social connection—to foster genuine, lasting change.
We also dive into how practices like Yoga, Pilates, and breathwork do more than move your body—they help downregulate the nervous system, signal safety, and rebuild your energy from the inside out.
This episode is especially for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or just plain tired of managing stress the old way. It’s not about pushing through. It’s about aligning with your truth, your rhythm, and your spark.
