Society EN ↓ 18 episodes

A Healing Dose is a space for conversations and reflections on the complexity of being human. Through the lens of curiosity, nuance, and lived experience, this podcast explores how we think, relate, feel, and evolve. It’s an exploration of the patterns, tensions, and truths that shape our human experience — both within ourselves and with each other. Because the more clearly we can see, the more intentionally we can move. And that's where everything begins to shift. michellebreana.substack.com

you think you're above it all and that's exactly the problem 27.02.2026

spiritual ego is real and it hides in the language of growth. in this episode, i'm reading my latest essay exploring what happens when discernment becomes judgment, why being "in the world without being of it" doesn't mean floating above it, and how some of our most unexpected connections are our greatest teachers. questions for deeper reflection: - where might your discernment actually be judgmen...

i don't need you to understand me 13.02.2026

perfectionism will always find a new way to keep you performing...if you allow it 30.01.2026

i went from scrolling through instagram first thing in the morning to building a rigid multi-step routine—and both were perfectionism, just in different forms. this is a story about worthiness wounds, performing for others vs. performing for yourself, and what it took to finally choose rhythm over rigidity. maybe your routine feels like it's suffocating you, too. maybe you're performing for others...

here's what happens when you allow your rhythms to shift with you 16.01.2026

Ep. 014 — Endings are beginnings 03.08.2025

When I recorded Episode 13, I was tired— really tired. I showed up anyway, proud that I followed through, but listening back, I could hear something else in my voice. It was my own battle cry, calling me to slow down. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been reflecting on what that episode revealed. I needed space. I needed recovery. It revealed that I was creating from a shaky foundation, caught up in...
