We’re Not Machines: Honoring Cycles, Rest, and What the Body Knows

Listening to what life—and the body—are trying to tell us.

In this heartfelt conversation, we open the door to what’s been moving in our own lives these past weeks—a season of challenge, grief, redirection, and ultimately, deep listening.

We share openly about the health struggles, hormonal shifts, and emotional waves that led us both to face one of the hardest things: pausing when everything in us wanted to keep going.

This is a tender and honest episode about the body’s wisdom, the illusion of linear productivity, and the quiet strength it takes to trust life—especially when we can’t yet see where it’s leading.

Together, we explore:

  • How the body speaks to us through whispers… and what happens when we don’t listen

  • Why we’re not made for bounce-back culture and linear expectations

  • The grief and relief of endings (like stopping breastfeeding) and the reclamation of self

  • The tension between wanting to "push through" and learning to surrender

  • The importance of community and why healing is never meant to be a solo journey

  • How we’re redefining work, worth, and well-being beyond hustle and output

Whether you’re moving through your own season of challenge—or simply curious about living more attuned to your body’s rhythm—we hope this conversation offers a gentle hand to hold and invitations to reflect.
