Nervous system regulation is everywhere right now, but most of the advice feels unrealistic for women who are, you know… living an actual life.
In this episode, we break down what regulation really means without the 6-month Bali escape, the perfect morning routine, or the idea that you have to quit your job to feel grounded again.
You’ll learn:
If you’ve been overwhelmed, rushing, mentally sprinting, or feeling like your body can’t keep up this one is for you

Owning Your Darkness Without Making It Your Identity
In this episode, we’re getting real about the parts of ourselves we usually avoid.. the emotions we hide, the patterns we’re ashamed of, and the stories we’ve carried for years.
You’ll learn why you push your darkness down, why some of you cling to it, and how both extremes keep us stuck.
We explore what your “shadow” actually is (psychologically and somatically), how it forms, and why it shows up in your reactions, relationships, and self-talk. More importantly, we talk about how to work with your darker parts without letting them define who you are.
If you’ve ever felt like you are your anxiety, your trauma, your mistakes, or your old stories… this one will land deeply.
By the end, you’ll walk away with practical ways to meet your shadow with compassion, create space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, and reconnect to your whole, layered self.
Tune in - let’s explore the dark with a little more light.

Episode 52: The Power of One Small Step
Can you believe it? The Self Discovery Gal podcast is officially one year old!
In this special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on what this past year has taught me...about self-trust, starting before you’re ready, and the quiet power of one small yes.
When I started this podcast, I had no grand plan. I didn’t know where it would lead… but that one small step changed everything.
In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons I’d tell the version of me from a year ago. We’ll talk about:
✨ Why clarity comes from action
✨ What consistency really looks like
✨ How to keep going when it feels like no one’s listening
✨ Why the small, messy, heart-led steps are the ones that truly change your life
If you’ve ever doubted whether your next step matters… this episode is your reminder that it does. Tune in for a heart-to-heart on growth, gratitude, and the quiet magic of beginning before you’re ready.

In a world that glorifies hustle, urgency, and noise, softness can feel almost rebellious.
In this gentle, heart-to-heart episode, we dive into what it really means to live a soft life, beyond the aesthetics of candles and slow mornings.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Find peace in the middle of chaos
✨ Reconnect to your body’s natural pace
✨ Let joy and rest become your baseline, not your reward
✨ Integrate softness into real life — work, relationships, and daily habits
This isn’t about escaping the world. It’s about creating one that feels good to live in.
Take a deep breath, press play, and let’s talk about softness as strength.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into that familiar voice inside your head... the inner critic. You know the one… “Who do you think you are?” “You’re not ready yet.” “You should’ve done better.” Yep, her.

Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Why your inner critic exists and how it was formed
✨ How to translate what it’s really trying to say beneath the fear.
✨ Simple, powerful tools to retrain that voice

In this episode, we explore desire - You’ll learn how to feel safe with your wants, release the pressure to act on every impulse, and start honouring the energy of desire as an expression of self-connection rather than scarcity or shame.
We’ll also unpack what it means to give yourself internal permission... to want, to receive, and to play again. Because when desire feels safe, you stop chasing and start attracting what’s truly aligned.

Episode 44 - The Moment Everything Changed in My Healing
I'm sharing something super exciting this week gals!
This episode feels a little different.. it’s a celebration and a reflection from my heart about the truths I’ve uncovered through my own embodiment journey.
There are things I’ve learned that I simply can’t un-know now. I’ll be sharing the moments that shifted me, the uncomfortable beginnings of learning to connect with my body, and how those truths have not only changed my life but also the way I hold space for others.
My hope is that it also sparks something in you - an invitation to notice what you can’t un-know anymore. Those truths that once you see them, you can’t go back.

Ep 42: Stop Saying Yes When You Don’t Mean It - The Energetics of No
Your body usually knows when something’s off... it could be a tight chest, shallow breath, that drop in your belly, long before your brain catches up. Most of us have learned to override those signals and say yes when we really mean no.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what no and yes actually feel like in the body, what the hidden cost of ignoring your no is, and how to rebuild trust with your boundaries.
You’ll get somatic check-ins, journaling prompts, and reflections to help you honour both your no and your yes.
So, let's get curious.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the things like staying productive, keeping it together, holding it all in? but deep down you’re still exhausted, disconnected, or craving more slowness?

39: Let’s Talk About Journaling (But Not in a Boring Way)
Journaling doesn’t have to be a perfectly written, Instagram-worthy habit. In fact, the magic happens when it’s messy, honest, and real.
In this episode, I share how journaling has helped me slow down, hear my own truth, and build self-trust—and how you can start (or restart) your own practice without the pressure. We’ll explore why journaling works as a bridge between your busy mind and your intuitive body, how to overcome common blocks, and how even a single sentence can shift your perspective

Ep 36 – Are You Actually Healing, or Just Addicted to Self-Improvement?
Healing is beautiful..but it can also become another addiction.
All of the books, the journaling, the nervous system work, the shadow work, the courses… it feels productive, but is it actually helping? Or are you just keeping busy so you don’t have to slow down?
In this episode, we’re unpacking something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately - how easy it is to fall into the healing hustle and call it growth.
We’re chatting about:
✨ The difference between true integration and just collecting information
✨ Why self-development can feel like another performance
✨ What to ask yourself when healing starts to feel like a job
✨ How to spot when your “healing” is actually creating more anxiety
✨ Why healing doesn’t have to be hard, deep, or painful to be real
If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things, but still feel behind, tired, or like you should be more healed by now… this episode is for you.
