  • Q&A: Somatic Support for Depression, Nighttime Anxiety, Urgency & Parenting Triggers
    Jan 14 2026

    In this listener Q&A episode, Britt gently explores how somatic work can support depression, perimenopausal shifts, nighttime anxiety, the constant sense of urgency that so many people live with, and parents navigating daily triggers. Britt speaks to what depression really is from a nervous system perspective and how to meet ourselves with compassion, what to do if you find anxiety creeping up at night, and how to heal a chronic sense of urgency that robs your peace and presence. This conversation offers reassurance, practical somatic tools, and a reminder that regulation is not about doing more, but about creating enough safety for your system to settle. No matter where you’re starting from, your body is capable of change, and small, compassionate steps truly do add up to meaningful healing.

  • Somatic Manifesting in 2026: Why You Can’t Build a Dream from Survival Mode
    Jan 7 2026

    Manifestation isn’t just about mindset, visualization, or wanting something badly enough. It’s about whether your nervous system feels safe enough to receive what you’re asking for.

    In this episode, Britt breaks down how dysregulation shows up as urgency, people-pleasing, or chasing outcomes that are not actually aligned, and why no amount of mindset work can override a body that does not feel safe. She shares seven practical somatic tools designed to expand nervous system capacity, deepen self-connection, reconnect you to genuine desire, and soften the grip of fear-based striving.

    Rather than focusing on visualization or control, this conversation centers on learning how to settle the body, track what feels supportive, and create from a place of internal steadiness. Tune in for somatic insight on how to really create what you want in 2026!

  • A Year of Moving in Flow: What 2025 Taught Me About Capacity & Growth
    Dec 31 2025

    Ever wonder what it would feel like to accomplish your goals without forcing or burning out? In this episode, Britt shares a grounded, honest reflection on what it was like to move through a year of significant expansion at a pace her nervous system could actually sustain. She speaks to the grief that can accompany growth, the identities that loosen as we expand, and the surprising way slowing down created more space for what truly mattered.

    This conversation isn’t about achievements or checking boxes. It’s about integration. About metabolizing a year that reshaped her pace, priorities, and relationship to herself. It’s an invitation to reflect on your own year and consider how staying connected to your body, rather than pushing past it, can support healing and growth that lasts.

    If you’re craving a more sustainable, embodied way forward, this episode offers a steadier place to begin.
