Welcome to the Less Stress in Life Podcast – Empowered Wellness Series
Hosted by Deb Timmerman, RN, board-certified reflexologist and natural health practitioner, alongside co-hosts Susie Marsh, LBSW and professional organizer, and Lindsay Vertalka, master’s-level physical therapist.
Episode Summary:
In this episode, we’re diving into fear avoidance—what it is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it can hold you back from healing. Whether it's from an injury, a fall, or a painful experience, fear can quietly set the stage for a feedback loop that limits movement, confidence, and recovery.
Together, Deb, Lindsay, and Susie unpack the brain's protective mechanisms, the role of the nervous system, and the importance of small, supportive steps in rewiring fear-based patterns. You’ll hear real-life stories, science-backed strategies, and practical tools to help you or someone you love move through pain—physically and emotionally—with more trust and less stress.
