Episode 12: Physically Here, Mentally Elsewhere: Overwhelm, Rooting Down, & Emotional First Aid
Manage episode 490998424 series 3662264
Ever feel like your body’s at the Zoom meeting… but your mind is hiding under a weighted blanket? In this heartfeltvepisode, Andi & Mich speak directly to the collective overwhelm so many of us are carrying—especially in this current time. From anxiety, caretaker burnout, and endless news cycles, to grounding rituals passed down through generations: this episode is your pep talk, love letter, and emotional first aid kit. We unpack:
- Why it’s OK to not be “fine”
- The power of daily self check-ins
- Real-world nervous system reset tools (cold water on wrists, mood lighting, somatic techniques & more)
- How community, culture, and even cooking were ancestral anchors in hard times
- And engaging listener prompts: “Physically I’m here, but mentally I’m…”
If you’ve ever experienced fleeting spirals or spiritual disconnection—this one’s for you. You’re not alone. 💛
