210 | 4 Life Lessons I've Learned Through The Most Difficult Season of My Life: The Power of the Nervous System & Stepping Into Radical Honesty & Authenticity on Your Inner Healing Journey

Author: Devoney Kodad, Anxiety Therapist, Self Confidence Coach & Christian Yoga Teacher April 3, 2024 Duration: 24:01

Hey love, in today’s episode we’re diving deep. I took about 4 months off from creating content to create more space in my personal life & to focus on my health. I spent the last 4 months moving through so much transition, change, grief, heartache & I want to share a few lessons with you that I’ve been learning. I share my top 4 lessons learned in this season of my life & I hope they speak to you.  


You’ll hear about:

  1. Why the nervous system regulation & support must be part of your wellness routine & inner healing journey
  2. That you are so much more resilient and strong than you realize
  3. How being honest with yourself can be so difficult, but also can change your life in the best ways
  4. The power of starting to respect yourself more & show up for yourself to create a life that feels true to you


I hope you enjoy!
