Podcast 41 Why I Love EFT Tapping and you can too
Send us a text
In this episode of The Fairy Elephant Effect, I share the first time I used EFT tapping during a panic attack—while sitting in the car with my kids.

We explore what EFT really is, how it works with the amygdala and nervous system, and why it’s such a gentle yet powerful practi...

We’ve been taught that procrastination is a flaw — something to fix or feel ashamed of. But what if it’s not a problem at all? What if it’s a signal?
