A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast

This week on A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast, I’m sharing something deeply personal. After a week of poor sleep, a migraine, and feeling unusually low in energy, I was reminded that I live with Persistent Depressive Disorder, a condition that is usually well managed but occasionally whispers for my attention. It’s easy to forget that even when we know all the wellbeing practices, we’re still hu...

Why Receiving Feels So Hard: Healing the Overgiving Nervous System Have you ever noticed that giving comes naturally, but receiving feels uncomfortable? Many women have spent years caring for others, carrying responsibilities, and putting everyone else’s needs before their own. Over time, overgiving can become more than a habit. It can become a nervous system pattern. In this heartfelt episode, Gr...

There comes a season in life where the constant rushing, carrying, and holding everything together begins to feel heavy. Not because you’re failing. But because something within you is changing.

Together, we gently reflect on: emotional exhaustion and mental overload outgrowing o...

In this episode, we explore the hidden emotional and nervous system exhaustion many women carry silently for years.

This conversation gently explores: The emotional weight of always being “the strong one” Why high-functioning women often struggle to truly...

What if rest isn’t just about stopping… but about finally feeling safe enough to let go? In this gentle and deeply grounding episode, Grace explores what true rest actually feels like beyond the surface. Not the kind of rest that comes from collapsing at the end of exhaustion, but the kind that softens your nervous system, quiets the mind, and allows your whole body to exhale. If you’ve ever found...

Softening isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom in a quieter form. In this episode, we explore the subtle but powerful difference between collapsing and allowing . Why so many of us override our bodies, push through tension, and hold ourselves tightly… and what becomes possible when we begin to gently soften instead. This is not about giving up or losing your edge. It’s about releasing unnecessary force, so...

Have you ever said yes when you really meant no… pushed through when you were already exhausted… or ignored that quiet inner voice asking you to slow down?

This isn’t about se...

Episode 22 — Why It’s So Hard to Switch Off (Even When You’re Exhausted) There’s a particular kind of tired that sleep doesn’t quite touch. In this episode, we gently explore why it can feel so difficult to switch off, even when your body is calling for rest. The mind keeps spinning, the to-do lists hum in the background, and stillness can feel strangely out of reach. Together, we look at what’s h...

In this episode, we explore the quiet, often-forgotten experience of being held…by sound, by space, and by presence. Not fixed. Not guided. Not asked to do more. Just… held. You’ll be gently guided into what true restoration can feel like, and why it’s so different from simply “resting.” This is an invitation to soften, to put things down, and to reconnect with the part of you that already knows h...

In Episode 20 of A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast, we explore a powerful yet often overlooked part of the healing journey… joy. Not as something you earn after being productive or “getting everything done,” but as a vital and supportive part of your emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and self-healing. Many women have been conditioned to delay joy, to see pleasure as indulgent, or to...

Ep. 19 - There’s Another Way to Be… And Your Body Knows It You’ve done everything you were meant to do. You’ve shown up for your family, your work, your responsibilities… and from the outside, your life might even look full. But beneath it all, something feels off. A quiet exhaustion. A restlessness you can’t quite name. A sense that somewhere along the way… you lost touch with yourself. In this e...

So often, we measure our progress through timelines, milestones, and the quiet pressure to be “finished.” But healing doesn’t move forward in neat steps. It spirals. It revisits familiar places. It asks us to meet old wounds with new awarene...

This is not about striving or getting it...

In this episode, we explore the deep, healing power of connection and sisterhood — and why gathering in circle offers something profoundly different from everyday socialising.
