  • The Art of Gentle Becoming
    Feb 10 2026

    What if growth did not require pressure

    What if becoming could be gentle

    In this episode of The Healing Table, we explore the art of gentle becoming

    The slow unfolding

    The permission to change without force

    The freedom to meet yourself where you are instead of where you think you should be

    This conversation is for anyone who feels tired of rushing their healing

    For anyone learning to release urgency and choose presence

    For anyone realizing that growth does not have to be loud to be meaningful

    Inside this episode, we reflect on

    • Letting go of timelines that no longer serve you

    • Choosing patience over pressure

    • Allowing yourself to evolve slowly and honestly

    • Trusting that who you are becoming is already enough


    We also guide you through a grounding moment to help you settle into your body and breath, as well as offer a journal reflection you can return to throughout the week


    This episode is an invitation

    To soften

    To slow down

    To honor your process


    Pull up a chair

    You are allowed to change slowly

  • Pull Up a Chair You Belong Here
    Feb 3 2026

    In this episode of The Healing Table, we create space for belonging without performance and presence without pressure. This conversation is an invitation to soften your shoulders, exhale, and remember that you do not have to earn your seat at the table.

    We explore what it means to feel truly welcomed in your body, your healing, and your becoming. Not by doing more. Not by proving worth. But by allowing yourself to arrive exactly as you are.

    Inside this episode, we reflect on

    • Releasing the need to justify your place

    • Redefining belonging as an inner experience

    • Creating safety within yourself

    • Allowing rest without guilt

    • Letting yourself be seen without shrinking

    You will be guided through a grounding moment designed to help you settle into your body and nervous system, followed by a gentle journal reflection you can return to throughout the week.

    This episode is your reminder

    You are not late

    You are not behind

    You are not too much


    Pull up a chair

    You belong here

  • The Anatomy of Why
    Jan 27 2026

    At The Healing Table, we believe healing begins with intention, not pressure.

    In this episode, Janaya Hernandez invites you to slow down and return to the question beneath the action

    Why.

    So often, we focus on how to start

    How to stay consistent

    How to finish


    But when the why is unclear, everything feels heavier than it needs to.

    This conversation explores how reconnecting with your why can bring clarity, compassion, and alignment to your growth, creativity, and healing. Instead of forcing movement, this episode encourages listening, honoring your season, and allowing meaning to guide your next steps.


    This episode includes The Healing Practice

    a grounding word

    guided affirmations

    gentle embodied movement

    and reflective journaling prompts


    Designed to help you feel the conversation, not just hear it.


    Pull up a chair

    The table is open.
