Description

In today’s episode, Ryann takes you into the real heart of mindfulness — not the tidy, think-your-way-to-calm version — but the embodied, lived-in, messy human version. This episode is a grounding breath for anyone who feels stretched thin, rushed, overwhelmed, or stuck in their head.

This episode covers: 

  • Mindfulness is helpful, but mental awareness alone won’t ground you — true presence requires somatic awareness too.
  • Most overwhelm isn’t a mindset problem; it’s a nervous system one — especially for women conditioned to live in their minds.
  • A yoga teaching reframed everything: it’s not about “ascending” spiritually, but descending fully into your body.
  • Your childhood wiring (ages 0–7) influences today’s rushing, reacting, and difficulty staying present.
  • A simple hand-on-heart + belly breath practice can expand your sense of time and help you drop back into your body in seconds.
  • A reminder that healing isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present.
