This week, I am joined by Rachel Kraft, a somatic healer and breath-work coach. In this deeply honest episode, we explore what it means to truly return to yourself. From self-compassion to somatic healing, we dive into the tools, rituals, and mindset shifts that can help you move through hard emotions and reconnect with your inner voice. You’ll learn how to treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others, how journaling and stream-of-consciousness writing can unlock emotional clarity, and how grief and anxiety often point us back to the body for healing. We talk about the power of allowing yourself to change—your dreams, your identity, your path—and why healing isn’t about perfection, but presence. Whether you’re navigating a pivot, feeling disconnected from yourself, or just ready to deepen your self-love practice, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember who you are.
