I have never been much of a meditator. Sitting cross-legged on my bedroom floor, waiting for my brain to go quiet, has never once worked for me. I'm too in my head, too cerebral, too prone to just thinking harder instead of actually feeling calmer.
So when I recorded this episode, I wasn't expecting to walk away from it more relaxed than I've felt in weeks. But that's exactly what happened.This week's guest is Layne Burkette, a licensed therapist who specializes in somatic and nervous system work.If you're heading into back-to-school season already feeling the overwhelm creep in, this conversation will give you real tools, not one more thing to add to your plate.
In this episode, you'll hear:
🌿 A sixty-second practice you can do standing at the sink, in the carpool line, or anywhere else your day already has you
🌿 The one sentence that reframes everything about why you snap before you even realize you're upset
🌿 The moment Layne had me try something I've avoided my entire life (and why it actually worked)
