Summary

We romanticize the idea of creating space—clearing our calendars, releasing relationships, cutting ties with the noise. But what happens when you finally get the space you’ve been asking for... and it doesn’t feel good?

In this episode, I talk about the raw, often ignored reality of what spaciousness brings up: the discomfort, the second-guessing, the urge to fill the quiet. If you’ve made changes to protect your peace and now feel unsettled by the stillness, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

Why stillness can feel unsafe at first
How your nervous system reacts to peace when it’s used to chaos
The temptation to refill what you just cleared
What to do when the quiet feels like too much

If you're in a season of stretching, releasing, or sitting in uncomfortable in-between moments, book a 1:1 B.E.I.N.G. session with me. It’s a space to process, reconnect, and move through what’s surfacing with care.

0:20.3	Today's episode, I want to talk about spaciousness, having space
0:25.2	to unravel, having space to unfold, having space to just be. And when that actually feels so
0:35.9	unfamiliar that you think that it's wrong, that it's not for you.
0:39.5	Because I don't think that's something that I've heard necessarily being discussed a lot.
0:44.5	Now, before I get into today's episode really, really quick, I just want to give you a friendly

1:25.4	but you feel like it's out of reach when it's really not.
1:28.5	So again, the link will be in the profile.
1:30.7	If you book before the end of July, that price of $49 per session, it will be yours for life
