What Pattern is your Nervous System Running On? with Julie Meriman
Description
Why do a lot of us feel so guilty for putting ourselves first sometimes?
How come we feel bad for buying ourselves something nice or treating ourselves?
How exactly did we end up so burnt out these days?
This episode is for all of the mothers out there, the carers and over-givers, the women who always put others first before themselves, and especially for the ones who feel the guilt, who feel burnt out and emotionally exhausted.
I am absolutely delighted to have a very special guest all the way from sunny Texas, quite an inspirational lady actually, a Doctor in the field of counselling, trauma, compassion fatigue, nervous system regulation, and midlife burnout in women @drjuliemerriman
Find a self-care, safe and comfy space just for you, with the intention for you to receive exactly what you need for your highest and best good, with a warm and open heart, mind and ears.
Enjoy!
Sending love and warmth,
