My Healing Era
My Healing Era is a therapy podcast for women who want to break free from the toxic cycles that are keeping them stuck, and end the "not good enough" narrative in their head.
This podcast covers unfiltered conversations around topics like healing from dieting, hustle culture, mental health, body image, nervous system regulation, stress, food freedom... and so much more! We'll also get right down to the nitty gritty on which wellness trends to stay clear of, and what actually works and what doesn't.
And don't worry, I'm a therapist who gets it. I'm a recovered chronic dieter, anxiety warrior, and workaholic, and now I help women just like you heal from diet culture & hustle culture!

From Fight, Flight to Freeze: How Your Nervous System Keeps Track
Have you heard of the nervous system responses fight, flight or freeze, but don't really know exactly what that means for you and your nervous system? Every nervous system response has an origin story, and even things that have happened to us years and years ago impact how we respond to stress today.
In this podcast episode, Savana uses her own nervous system as an example of how it keeps track of all our experiences. In other words, this is a real life, real time example of how the body keeps the score. This episode covers:
- what fight, flight and freeze responses look like
- the recent incident that helped Savana connect the dots from her past to current nervous system responses
- how the feelings we have in our body have an origin story
- how our past nervous system responses effect or current day behaviour and stress response
- the misunderstandings of the "freeze" nervous system response
- steps to build awareness around your own nervous system responses
