About this episode
This episode features a guided somatic session aimed at helping listeners release stored stress and tension from their bodies.
How much stress are you carrying… that your body hasn’t had a chance to release? This guided somatic session is designed to help you gently move stored tension, anxiety, and emotional buildup out of the body without forcing, overthinking, or pushing yourself. Instead of trying to “fix” how you feel, this practice invites you to feel, move, and release in real time. Inside this 12-minute reset, you’ll be guided through: — Gentle awareness of where stress lives in your body — Simple tension-and-release exercises (hands, shoulders, face) — Light shaking and movement to discharge built-up energy — Grounding breathwork to return to stillness and safety This is not about doing it perfectly. It’s about giving your body space to do what it already knows how to do. Even a 1% shift matters. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, tense, or stuck in your head, this is your space to soften, release, and come back to yourself.
