70. Reconnecting With Desire | A 4-Step Framework for Nervous System Safety (Season 1 Wrap Up)

When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to? Not because it was productive, healthy, efficient, or part of a plan, but because you genuinely desired it.

So many women have learned to disconnect from their desires in the name of responsibility, healing, fertility, or doing everything "right." But what if desire isn't something to ignore? What if it's actually valuable information? In this episode, we talk about how desire can reveal what your body needs to feel safe, supported, and fully alive. 

In this episode, I cover:

• Why desire is important data, not something to dismiss
• Why healing requires more than collecting nervous system tools
• Faith, surrender, and abiding with God
• How reconnecting with desire can impact hormones, cycles, fertility, and libido
• The role of support and co-regulation in healing
• A simple 4-step framework for practicing desire every day
• Learning to say "yes" to what brings life and nourishment

I also share a few life updates, including our family's summer in Costa Rica, a pause before season two of the podcast, and ways to continue working together through consult calls.
