342 | Softness Over Stimulation: Daily Habits to Heal Your Nervous System Through Oxytocin

Last summer, I spent the second half of the season wandering through the South of France and the coast of Spain—and I came back changed. The Mediterranean lifestyle softened me, grounded me, and helped me step into the most radiant version of myself—mentally, emotionally, and yes… physically. It wasn’t about restriction or hustle. It was about pleasure. Beauty. Slowing down. Eating better. Living better. DOWNLOAD: Mediterranean Goddess Glow Up Guide Here This summer? I’m staying home. But that doesn't mean I’m letting go of that dreamy, elegant, European rhythm.

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or stuck in overdrive, this is your reminder that creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for your well-being. I’ll walk you through how embracing everyday acts of expression—whether it’s how you move, dress, write, or decorate—can gently shift your nervous system into a state of calm, connection, and inner expansion. You’ll discover why creativity is a core feminine practice, how it naturally boosts oxytocin and flow, and simple ways to build a creative ritual into your daily life (even if you don’t consider yourself “creative”). ✨ In this episode, I share: Why the feminine craves creativity over consumption How creative expression activates healing and oxytocin Ways to nourish your nervous system through everyday beauty and play A gentle ritual you can start today to reawaken your creative self The energetic shift that happens when you live as the artist of your life This is your permission to soften, to express, and to flourish—one creative moment at a time.
