    You Don’t Need More Time for Self-Care, You Need Micro Moments

    Send us Fan Mail Mindfulness, nervous system regulation, chronic stress, journaling, and healing after toxic relationships are at the center of this conversation with meditation teacher and author Katharine Chestnut. If self-care has started to feel like another item on your to-do list, this episode offers a much simpler way to begin. In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Katharine Chestnut to talk about her journey from a highly driven, logical corporate professional to someone who learned how to slow down, reconnect with herself, and listen to what her body was trying to tell her. After leaving a toxic and abusive relationship, Katharine returned to practices she had explored over the years, including journaling and meditation. What began as part of her own healing eventually became a way to help others who feel overwhelmed, chronically stressed, disconnected, or like they’re simply going through the motions. They discuss: ✅ Healing after a toxic and abusive relationship ✅ Why your logical mind can’t always lead the healing process ✅ Letting go of the belief that meditation means emptying your mind ✅ How chronic stress keeps the brain scanning for threats ✅ Why you can’t “planner your way” out of chronic stress ✅ Using micro moments to regulate your nervous system ✅ How mindfulness helps you learn to listen to yourself again ✅ Finding the gaps in your day for simple self-care ✅ Why boundaries are an important part of nervous system regulation ✅ Journaling, meditation, breathwork, and reconnecting with your body One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that caring for yourself doesn’t have to become another part-time job. You don’t need an hour-long morning routine, the perfect meditation practice, or a complete lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes it starts with one breath. Katharine encourages us to look for the small gaps already hiding in our days. Sitting in the school pickup line. Waiting at the airport. Standing in line. Pausing before responding to an email. Instead of automatically filling those spaces, we can use them as opportunities to come back to ourselves. Those tiny moments add up. 🔗 Connect with Katharine Chestnut Website: https://katharinechestnut.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@katharinechestnut Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/drumbabe You can also find Katharine’s meditations on Insight Timer and her active YouTube channel. Katharine also offers a quiz on her website designed to help you discover a simple way to begin incorporating mindfulness into your day based on what works for you. Modalities and Approaches Mentioned • Mindfulness • Mindful journaling • Guided meditation • Breathwork • Grounding • Body scans • Nervous system regulation • Boundaries • Movement • Self-awareness • Micro moments of mindfulness If you’ve been telling yourself you don’t have enough time for self-care, start smaller. Take a breath. Put your feet on the floor. Check in with yourself. Notice what your body is telling you. You don’t have to change everything today. You can simply begin coming back to yourself. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who feels like they’re constantly doing, achieving, and taking care of everything but themselves.

It has to become something we actually practice.
