    45. Slowing Down Is the Work (Nervous System Healing, Midlife Burnout & Finding Presence in Uncertain Times)

    What if slowing down isn’t something you do after you fix your life — but the very thing that allows you to live it? In this episode, Kate Garland explores why so many women feel stuck in constant urgency, overdrive, and emotional exhaustion — and why slowing down isn’t about doing less, opting out, or “calming down,” but about reclaiming presence, capacity, and aliveness in a world that no longer offers a clear map. Blending lived experience, nervous system wisdom, midlife insight, and a few very human stories (including grief, sourdough, and rage-vacuuming), this episode reframes slowing down as the work — not a reward for getting everything right. If you’re navigating midlife, burnout, anxiety, or the sense that the old ways of pushing through just don’t work anymore, this conversation will meet you where you are. In this episode, we explore:Why women speed up — emotional labor, overfunctioning, hypervigilance, and the pressure to be everything to everyoneHow the nervous system calibrates to constant urgency — and why it becomes your “normal”The difference between pausing and truly slowing downWhy midlife forces a reckoning with speed, burnout, and capacityHow slowing down builds nervous system capacity instead of shrinking your lifeSlowing down as quiet resistance and embodied leadershipWhy presence — not productivity — is what helps us navigate uncertainty and no-map landSimple, tangible ways to slow down without overhauling your life* * * Hi Love! I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here. . . and I would love to invite you to journey even further with me. If you’re craving a steady place to land while life is shifting and reshaping you, come sit with us at The Hearth. It’s a gentle, grounded space for women in navigating change—an oasis of rhythm, reflection, and real support when the world feels loud or uncertain. And if midlife has felt less like a problem to solve and more an initiation, it is! Join our waitlist for The Second Firing. This work is for women who know something meaningful is happening—even if they can’t quite name it yet—and are ready to meet who they’re becoming on the other side. We begin soon! And finally, if anxiety has been looping in your body or mind, I have a simple gift for you. My FREE 54321 Anxiety Reset is a 7-minute, guided practice you can return to anytime you need to interrupt the spiral and come back into breath, body, and presence.

    44. How to Stay With Yourself When the World Feels Unstable

    A conversation about nervous system safety, self-responsibility, and energetic sovereignty When the world feels unpredictable, overwhelming, or strangely unmoored, the problem isn’t that you’re doing something wrong — it’s that we’re living in what I call no-map land. Old systems no longer hold. New ones aren’t fully formed. And many sensitive, capable women are quietly carrying far more than they should. In this episode, I explore the concept of energetic sovereignty — not as a buzzword or spiritual bypass, but as a lived, embodied capacity to stay centered, grounded, and intact even when life feels chaotic. We talk about: Why self-responsibility can quietly turn into self-sacrificeThe difference between being capable and being centeredHow nervous system regulation, emotional literacy, and boundaries only work when they’re integratedWhat it really means to stay with yourself — without fixing, bracing, or over-functioningWhy midlife is often the initiation point into true sovereignty This is not about opting out of the world. It’s about staying in it — without abandoning yourself. If you’ve been doing “the work” but still feel tired, leaky, or subtly braced… If you’re highly sensitive, deeply capable, and secretly exhausted… If you sense that something deeper is being asked of you now… This conversation is for you. * * * Hi Love! I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here. . . and I would love to invite you to journey even further with me.

    43. Sacred Witnessing in a World on Fire

    How do you stay sane when the world feels like it’s falling apart? Between ongoing violence, political unrest, climate extremes, and a constant stream of alarming news, many women are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, angry—or quietly numb. If you’ve been asking yourself “How much more can my nervous system take?” or “Why does it feel like nothing I do actually helps?”—this episode is for you. In this tender, grounded conversation, Kate Garland introduces the concept of sacred witnessing—a powerful alternative to burnout, fixing, and emotional collapse. This episode isn’t about bypassing reality or offering false comfort. It’s about learning how to stay present, regulated, and human when nothing can be solved quickly—and when forcing solutions only makes things worse. Drawing from personal experience, somatic wisdom, and nervous system insight, Kate explores why presence itself is a form of service, and how being a regulated witness may be one of the most courageous acts available to us right now. In this episode, you’ll explore:Why “fixing” isn’t always the medicine—and how competence can become a coping strategyWhat sacred witnessing really means (and what it doesn’t)How nervous system regulation supports resilience during collective crisisA powerful reframe for staying human when the world feels unfixable Kate also shares a deeply personal reflection on learning sacred witnessing through her mother’s Alzheimer’s journey—revealing how presence, rather than action, became the true offering. If you’re a capable, sensitive woman who is tired of panic, doom-scrolling, and emotional over-functioning—this episode offers a steadier path forward. * * * Hi Love! I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here. . . and I would love to invite you to journey even further with me.

    42. Overwhelm is a Choice (and How to Stop Choosing It)

    Are you actually overwhelmed — or have you just trained your nervous system to respond to life with stress, anxiety and panic? In this episode, Kate Garland explores why overwhelm becomes a default state for so many women -- especially smart, capable, sensitive ones who carry a lot— and why we can become unconsciously addicted to the very state that’s burning us out. Through personal story, nervous system insight, and a compassionate but honest lens, Kate breaks down the psychology of secondary gain, the stress-hormone loop of cortisol and adrenaline, and how overwhelm can quietly become an identity — even when it’s costing you your health, clarity, and joy. This episode isn’t about time management or “calming down.” It’s about reclaiming agency, interrupting old patterns, and learning how to meet your life without chaos running the show. If you’re tired of feeling behind, stretched thin, or like everything is urgent — this conversation may change how you see overwhelm forever. Hi Love! I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here. . . and I would love to invite you to journey even further with me.

    41. Why More Information Isn’t the Answer Right Now (and what to do instead)

    What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, scattered, or quietly exhausted isn’t because you don’t know enough—but because you know too much? In this episode, Kate Garland speaks candidly about why information is failing us in 2026, why the instinct to sign up for one more course may actually be working against your nervous system, and what it really takes to stay steady in a rapidly changing world. In This Episode, We Explore:Why information overload is creating nervous system fatigueThe difference between being informed and being orientedWhat’s subtly changing in 2026—and why your body already knowsWhy steadiness matters more than transformation right nowHow rhythm and community can regulate what content cannot If you’ve been asking yourself: How do I stay grounded in a changing world?Why does more information make me feel worse, not better?How do I stop doom-scrolling without numbing out?What actually helps when the world feels loud, fast, and uncertain?This conversation is for you. And it may gently disrupt the way you think about growth, learning, and support in this season. Hi Love!

    40. Orientation- The Only Nervous System Skill You’ll Need for 2026

    If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, unusually tired, or unsure how to make even simple decisions lately, this episode is for you. As we move toward 2026, many women are sensing a deeper shift — not just stress or busyness, but a feeling that old ways of coping, planning, and pushing through are no longer working. In this episode, Kate Garland introduces orientation: a nervous system skill that helps you stay grounded, clear, and connected to yourself when everything around you feels uncertain or in flux. This is not about positive thinking, calming down, or fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to locate yourself internally before making decisions, consuming information, or reacting to the outside world — especially as we approach the end of a major collective cycle. In this episode, we explore:What orientation actually is — and how it differs from regulation, mindset, or productivityWhy so many people feel disoriented right now (and why you’re not imagining it)How over-consuming news, content, and conversations can quietly drain your nervous systemWhy 2026 asks for presence and self-relationship more than strategySimple, body-based ways to return to yourself without effort or discipline This episode includes a gentle arrival and orientation practice to help you settle into your body, clarify where you are, and reconnect with your inner authority — right here, right now. You don’t need to know where you’re going yet. You just need to know where you are. Hi Love! I want you to know how grateful I am that you’re here. . . and I would love to invite you to journey even further with me. If you’re craving a steady place to land while life is shifting and reshaping you, come sit with us at The Hearth.

    Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest & Nervous System Healing (Holiday Reset)

    If you’re feeling tired in a way sleep hasn’t fixed… If your nervous system feels loud, brittle, or overworked… If you sense your body asking for rest—not collapse, not distraction, but true restoration— This guided Yoga Nidra meditation is for you. Yoga Nidra is a powerful, evidence-based practice for deep rest and nervous system regulation, often described as “yogic sleep.” In this state, the body rests as if asleep while awareness remains gently awake—allowing stress patterns to unwind, the mind to quiet, and the system to restore itself from the inside out. This episode begins immediately with the guided practice, so please take a moment to orient yourself before pressing play.

    39. Stress vs. Anxiety- Why You’re Using the Wrong Tools — and What Actually Works

    Do you feel anxious even when nothing is wrong? Does your body feel tense, wired, or exhausted — but “relaxation” doesn’t help? Have you tried breathwork, meditation, movement, or nervous system tools… only to feel worse? You’re not broken. You’re just using stress tools for anxiety — and anxiety tools for stress. In this powerful, hour-long deep dive, Kate Garland, nervous system–informed coach and intuitive guide, explains the critical difference between stress, strain, and anxiety — a distinction almost no one is taught, and one that changes everything once you understand it. This episode is for women who are: • chronically stressed but can’t pinpoint why • high-functioning yet secretly overwhelmed • anxious without a clear trigger • burned out, but unable to truly rest • frustrated that “nervous system regulation” hasn’t worked the way it was promised Blending neuroscience, endocrinology, somatic psychology, and lived experience, Kate offers a framework that replaces self-blame with clarity — and confusion with relief.
