Episode 13/The Loud Body, the Re-Growing Tonsil, and the Sacred Reset

It’s been a minute. I’ve been dealing with some ongoing throat and ear issues that have made it hard to speak, and I’ve been saving my voice for client work while trying to rest in between. Turns out… one of my tonsils might be growing back. And that ear pain? Possibly TMJ — likely tied to a nervous system that’s been running on fumes.

In this episode, I’m not reading from a script. I’m speaking from the heart. Because something happened in the middle of this flare-up that caught me off guard: I realized I’d become disconnected from my body. Again.

And that brought up some hard stuff — shame, frustration, grief. I mean, this is what I teach. But I’ve had to remind myself (over and over): starting over isn’t shameful. It’s sacred.

So this episode is for anyone who feels exhausted, numb, restless, or like they’re living in a body they barely recognize. I’ll share what it’s looked like for me lately to fall out of connection — and what it’s looking like now as I slowly, gently, begin again.

And we’ll end with a 2-minute breath and body awareness practice you can come back to anytime you need to come home to yourself.

You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You don’t have to earn your way back.
You are worth starting over for.
