Northeast Wellness

out here speaking my truth

Holding space for others while your own nervous system feels thinner, more reactive, more emotional, and significantly less tolerant of noise is a real balancing act.

As someone who works closely with people all day — through massage, movement, conversation, energy work, and care — I notice this phase deeply.

My capacity changes. My social battery changes. Even the way my body experiences touch, sound, and stress shifts.

It’s less about trying to override what my body is asking for, and more about working with it. Slowing where I can. Protecting my energy a little more. Softening the expectation that I should show up exactly the same every week of the month.

I think there’s real value in normalising that our capacity fluctuates. Especially for women holding businesses, families, clients, households, and everyone else together.

Some weeks feel expansive.

Some weeks feel like survival mode with a to-do list.

Both are still valid versions of ourselves.
