Episode notes
Numbness Is A Signal Not Neutral
- Numbness is a red flag from your body indicating misalignment rather than neutrality.
- Treat flatness as a guiding signal to investigate what parts of life no longer fit you.
Your Inner GPS Guides Alignment
- Your internal GPS points to your true north and shows when you're off-course.
- Disconnection often means you need to check orientation, not necessarily change circumstances.
Practice Regular Check-Ins
- Practice consistent check-ins and nervous system work to catch numbness early.
- Use small regular practices to reconnect rather than waiting for a crisis.
