I got to sit down with the incredible Simone Saunders — therapist, educator, and one of my absolute favorite mental health voices online — to talk all things healing, boundaries, and nervous system regulation 💭🫶🏼 We covered so much in this conversation: 🌀 Why trauma doesn't have to be one "big thing" to impact your daily life 💌 How people pleasing, shutdowns, and emotional flooding are actually your body trying to protect you 🌿 The difference between talk therapy and somatic work 💭 What's actually going on when you keep learning but don't feel like you're changing 🔥 Burnout, ADHD, purpose, and why so many of us are just… exhausted lately 👀 We even touch on ChatGPT and whether it has a place in the healing process Simone is one of the most grounded and compassionate voices in the space, and this episode is such a gentle, validating listen if you're navigating big change or just wanting to reflect on your patterns.
