You aren’t addicted to success. You are addicted to Cortisol.

We often praise people who are “always on.” We call them driven, ambitious, and high-functioning. But somatically speaking, chronic busyness is often a Flight Response in a business suit.

When you spend years in “Flight” mode, your body gets used to a baseline of high adrenaline and cortisol. You start to need that chemical rush just to feel “normal.” This is why a quiet Sunday afternoon feels unbearable. This is why you check your email at 11 PM. This is why you listen to podcasts at 2x speed.

It’s not that you can’t stop. It’s that stopping feels like withdrawal. When the noise stops, the adrenaline drops. And when the adrenaline drops, all the things you’ve been running from—grief, loneliness, exhaustion—finally catch up to you.

The “Crash” isn’t a failure. If you try to rest and immediately feel depressed or heavy, that is your body finally entering safety. It is the landing gear coming down. It feels terrible, but it is necessary.

Question: What is your “Flight” habit? Is it Future Tripping (obsessive planning) or Doom Scrolling (distraction)? Let me know below. 👇

Warm up from the inside out.  
As the seasons shift, it’s time to slow down and fortify our bodies.

Join us for an intimate afternoon dedicated to crafting your own batch of Fire Cider—a potent, traditional tonic rooted in folk herbalism. 
We’ll chop, chat, and connect, creating a spicy, gut-healing remedy to carry you through the winter months.

You’ll leave with your own jar and the knowledge to keep brewing at home.

🍎 A Note on Ingredients: To ensure your tonic is fresh and personalized, participants are asked to bring their own ingredients. A detailed shopping list of roots, herbs, and citrus will be shared with you upon registration so you can gather exactly what you need! 
The Details: 🗓 Dec 06, 2025 🕑 2:00 - 4:00 PM 📍 Richmond Hill, ON (exact location will be shared via email after registration)  
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience personal. Reserve your spot | link in bio 🔗

You don’t carry the weight of the world because you are strong.
You carry it because you don’t trust anyone else to hold it.

We often mistake Hyper-Independence for maturity. We think, “I’m just a go-getter” or “I prefer doing things my own way.”

But if we look at the nervous system, Hyper-Independence is often a high-functioning Fight Response.
You are actively fighting off vulnerability. You are fighting off the potential pain of being let down.

To your body, relying on another human being feels like standing on a trapdoor—you are just waiting for the floor to fall out.

A Somatic Test: Notice what happens in your body the next time someone offers you genuine help. Does your stomach tighten? Do you hold your breath? Do you instinctively say “No, I got it” before they even finish the sentence?

That physical recoil isn’t “capability.” That is your body bracing for impact.

Healing looks like slowly teaching your nervous system that support is not a threat.

Swipe to learn why you built these walls and how to lower the drawbridge. 👉

Question: What is the specific area you refuse to ask for help in? (For me, it was mostly in my relationships—I would find it so difficult to accept help/support). Let me know yours below. 👇

You cannot bully your inner child into healing.

Most of us treat our Inner Child the exact same way we were treated when we were young. When we feel scared, needy, or irrational, our internal monologue turns into a strict, angry parent: “Stop crying.” “You are being so dramatic.” “Grow up already.”

We think this is “discipline.” But in neurobiology, this is just shame. And shame does not regulate a nervous system; it freezes it.

Reparenting is the radical act of changing that internal voice. Instead of being the Judge who sentences you for having feelings, you become the Protector who holds you through them.

The next time you are spiraling, try the “20-Year Rule”: Imagine you are 20 years older than the part of you that is hurting. Speak to yourself with the wisdom and patience of that older self. “I know this feels like the end of the world right now. But I am here. I am the adult. And we are going to be okay.”

Swipe to learn how to stop fighting yourself and start raising yourself. 👉

Question: What is the one thing you needed to hear most as a child? (Mine was: “You don’t have to be perfect to be loved”). Tell me yours below. 👇

Your body is a diary, not a machine.

We often treat our bodies like taxis for our brains—just a vehicle to get us from point A to point B. But while your brain can choose to forget a painful memory to protect you, your body does not have that luxury. It remembers everything.

This is the core of Somatic Memory. When a survival event (trauma) happens and we don’t get to fight or flee, that massive surge of mobilization energy gets trapped in our fascia and muscles. It sits there, waiting to be released.

Years later, this trapped energy shows up as:
* Chronic tightness in the hips (the muscle of “running away”).
* A jaw that is always clenched (the muscle of “fighting back”).
* A throat that feels tight (the muscle of “screaming”).

The “Issues are in the Tissues.” You aren’t imagining the pain. You are carrying the past. True healing often requires us to stop talking about the story and start feeling the sensation. We have to help the body complete the cycle it started years ago.

Question: If your body could speak right now, which part would scream the loudest? (Shoulders? Lower back? Stomach?).

Why does a healthy relationship feel “boring” while a chaotic one feels like “chemistry”?

If you grew up in an environment that was unpredictable or emotionally inconsistent, your nervous system learned to survive on high alert. To your body, chaos became “home.”

So when you finally find safety—a calm partner, a stable job, a quiet weekend—your body doesn’t relax. It panics. It whispers, “This is too quiet. Something must be wrong.”

You aren’t broken. You aren’t self-sabotaging. You are just withdrawing from an addiction to your own stress hormones.

Regulation isn’t about being calm 100% of the time; it’s about teaching your body, slowly, that peace is safe.
Swipe through to learn how to retrain your baseline.

Question: When life gets too quiet, do you tend to pick a fight (Hyper-arousal) or shut down/scroll (Hypo-arousal)? Let me know in the comments. 👇

English Caption:
 Healing the Mother & Father wounds isn’t about going back in time—it’s about reclaiming your power today.
 You become the parent to your own inner child. You give yourself the love, safety, and validation you always deserved.
 It’s not linear, it’s not overnight. It’s a spiral—you meet the same lessons, but each time with more wisdom and compassion.
 And the most beautiful part? When you heal, you don’t just free yourself. You free your lineage—past and future.

Save this series as your healing guide and tag a sister who’s ready to walk this journey with you.  (Farsi in comments)

English Caption:
 Unhealed wounds don’t just disappear—they whisper into every corner of our lives.
 They show up when we over-give, when we fear rejection, when we keep attracting the same unavailable partners, or when we silence our own needs.
 Science calls it attachment and trauma. Spirit calls it disconnection from our inner feminine and masculine energies.
 Either way, awareness is the first step to breaking the cycle.

Share below: Which of these signs do you see in yourself right now?

English
 We inherit more than just eye colour and habits from our parents… we also inherit wounds. Some are loud and obvious, others subtle: a lack of safety, feeling unseen, or never quite feeling “enough.”
 These imprints shape the way we love, trust, and view ourselves.
 The Mother & Father Wounds are not about blame—they are about awareness. Because what we can see, we can begin to heal.

Save this post for reflection, and tell me in the comments: Which wound do you resonate with more—Mother or Father?
