When you say you’re practicing self-care… are you really? Or are you quietly checking out?In this solo episode of Journeys With My Body, host Heidi invites you into a gentle but radically honest conversation about the fine line between true self-soothing and subtle self-abandonment. With powerful examples and somatic wisdom, she unpacks how many of us—especially those raised to override our needs—mistake distraction for healing.Explore how our nervous systems adapt through early conditioning, how digital overstimulation feeds avoidance patterns, and how to rebuild trust with your body through presence and small moments of honesty. If you’ve ever reached for the wine, the phone, the snack—or even the bath—and wondered, “Am I caring for myself, or just avoiding myself?”... this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and come home.Perfect for listeners curious about:self-care vs self-abandonment • somatic healing • trauma recovery • nervous system regulation • mindful living • digital detox • emotional awareness • inner child healing • embodied self-connection⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️Feeling stuck in a cycle of forcing, controlling, and micromanaging every aspect of your life?
