Be Gentle With Me
Hey. I'm Christie. I'm a somatic wellness practitioner, a corporate maven, and someone who once had a complete meltdown in a company car park on a Tuesday and called it a regulation practice. It was.

Be Gentle With Me is my podcast about nervous system regulation, burnout recovery and what coming home to yourself actually looks like — not from the mountaintop, but from the car park, the bathroom stall, the spare meeting room where you've been quietly holding it together for the last three hours.

A conversation about nervous system regulation, achievement addiction, and coming home to yourself, from someone still figuring it out in real time.

I refused to perf...
