Do you ever wonder why it's so incredibly hard to slow down in life in your body and even mind?
Today’s world largely praises productivity and constant motion, so slowing down can feel uncomfortable—even impossible.
Today, Aimee explores why it’s so difficult to pause and how embracing a slower pace can lead to deep healing, self-awareness, and transformation.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by life’s constant demands, this episode offers permission—and practical tools—to slow down, reconnect, and heal.
In this podcast episode, Aimee takes us through:
- Why society ties self-worth to productivity and how it fuels burnout
- How slowing down reveals emotional discomfort—and why that’s essential for healing
- Overcoming the fear that slowing down may lead to feeling “stuck” or “frozen”
- The difference between choosing to slow down and being forced to by burnout or illness
- How Hanna Somatics can help relax the body and ease mental stress
- Why embracing the messy parts of healing is key to personal growth
And so much more!
