  1. The Long Game of Healing

    The Long Game of Healing

    What if my healing journey isn’t meant to be rushed? In this episode, I reflect on a story that changed how I view progress - an author who spent nearly a decade writing his book, not because he lacked drive, but because real growth takes time. He introduced me to the idea of eigenzeit: the natural time things need to unfold. If you’ve been frustrated by slow progress or feeling behind, this is a reminder that healing isn’t a race. Some of the most meaningful work happens quietly, beneath the surface. Take a breath. You’re not late. You’re becoming.

    Discouragement Is Part of the Cycle

    Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about discouragement - that heavy feeling that shows up when it seems like nothing is changing and I’m stuck in the same cycle again. In this episode, I talk about how discouragement isn’t a sign that I’m failing. Most of the time, it’s part of the cycle itself. It shows up when something no longer fits the way it used to, when the alarm bells start going off inside and ask for attention instead of more effort or control. I share gentle reflections and grounding questions that help me slow down and listen rather than fight the feeling. If you’ve been feeling tired, doubtful, or worn down by your own process, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and stay present with what’s being revealed. I don’t have to break the cycle today. I just have to listen to what it’s trying to tell me.

    Walking Through the Storm- The Cow and the Buffalo

    Some storms we sense coming. Others arrive without warning. In this episode, I reflect on how the ways we create safety after trauma can keep us stuck inside the storm — and how learning to move through what remains can restore breath, movement, and trust in the body.

    Redlined: Finding Your Way Back to Center

    I’m Josh, and this space exists to help us breathe through fear, not pretend it isn’t there. In today’s episode, we explore what happens when the nervous system redlines — when life hits us so hard that the body never fully returns to baseline. I talk about the moments that knocked me into the red zone, the somatic obsessions that followed, and the ways the body can become its own alarm system after trauma. Together we'll walk through why this happens, how it shows up, and the simple rituals that help you find center again. This isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering your strength, your breath, and your ability to come home to your body.

    Doing Your Chores, Part Two: Faith in the Small Wins

    In this episode, I continue the “Doing Your Chores” series — but not about dishes or laundry. This one’s about the quieter kind of work: the moments when you reward yourself, talk yourself up, and keep a little faith that the small things matter. I share how, after loss and exhaustion, I started rebuilding through these simple acts — one breath, one small task, one kind word at a time. Because grace isn’t loud. Sometimes it’s just choosing to keep moving, even when you can’t see the progress yet. This episode is an invitation to slow down, to speak gently to yourself, and to trust that something sacred is still unfolding — even in the smallest wins.
