About this episode
This week's self-care surge took me from enneagram typing to chiropractic scans and theta healing, revealing the critical difference between authentic mojo and toxic positivity. The journey cracked me open, exposing blind spots I didn't realize were there and showing how my body was carrying stress my mind had rationalized away.
• Mojo is your authentic life force – the inner fire that gets you moving and showing up as yourself
• Toxic positivity is a "good vibes only" mask that overrides real emotions with forced sunshine
• True self-care makes you feel more like yourself, not someone you think you should be
• As an Enneagram 9, I discovered my tendency to numb out and avoid confrontation. If you'd like to learn more about Enneagram, check out Tamara Kroeker - she's the best
My parasympathetic nervous system was in the red zone despite feeling "fine" intellectually
• Nervous system dysregulation can cause chronic fatigue, emotional numbness, and withdrawal
• Gentle practices like deep breathing, nature time, and safe connections help restore balance
• Theta healing unlocked beliefs about safety and responsibility I didn't know were holding me back. To learn more about Theta Healing, you're in great hands with Megan at the Conscious Village!
• Reconnecting with my inner child became an unexpected part of my healing journey
• Real mojo comes from honesty, not forced positivity
