01 - What Is "The Real Work"?
The Real Work podcast focuses on helping people address the root causes of chronic stress, anxiety, and disconnection rather than chasing surface-level fixes. I share my personal journey through trauma, chronic anxiety, insomnia, and eventually chronic pain that led me to discover the connection between nervous system dysregulation and physical symptoms. After years of trying various therapies, treatments, and quick fixes, I realized I had been intellectualizing healing rather than actually doing the deeper emotional work. I discuss how many people, particularly overthinkers and high achievers, become disconnected from their bodies as a protective mechanism. I cover the difference between symptom management and addressing underlying issues. I explain how chronic stress and unprocessed emotions can manifest as physical symptoms and mental health challenges. I emphasize that true healing requires facing discomfort rather than numbing it through various distractions like overeating, overspending, or endless scrolling. The Real Work podcast is designed for people who struggle with chronic anxiety, overthinking, and those who feel stuck despite trying multiple approaches to feel better. I aim to create a space for exploring the deeper work of nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and reconnecting with oneself. New episodes release every Monday.
