In this episode we dig into:
What actually happens when you stop living in survival mode and your nervous system finally chills the fuck out? Spoiler: it’s weirder than you think.
Having time doesn’t mean you magically know how to enjoy it. Sometimes the pause feels like a loss you didn’t see coming.
The very real tension between finally having space to create and just wanting to nap, zone out, or do absolutely nothing.
Your brain isn’t reacting to the moment, it’s predicting based on old chaos and current circumstances which means sometimes you kinda short-circuit.
Being regulated doesn’t mean life is easier right away. Sometimes it just means you’re awake enough to see what’s really going on.
Navigating art, chronic illness, parenting, and business in a house where everyone’s got complex life stuff... it’s not cute, it’s logistics and emotion every damn day.
Some of what feels "true" is actually just what you’ve been surrounded by your whole life. When you question it, a whole new world opens up.
The hardest part of starting something isn’t always the work, it’s believing you’ll be able to keep going, especially when you have a pile of complex life circumstances
If your environment feels like too much, it’s not because you’re weak. It’s because your body is telling the truth about what’s happening around you.
A behind-the-scenes look at how Brandon and I have restructured our life and business to actually feel like us, without making each other fit into someone else’s idea of partnership.
Two very different relationships to work, rest, and passion, and how we’re finally letting both be valid and valuable.
