Do you want to create more safety in your body to handle life and the challenges you're going through? Welcome to this mini-series on nervous system regulating tools! I felt like it was about time to share some of the tools from my big toolbox of nervous system regulating tools with you and I'm starting out strong on some new perspectives on breathing and meditation and how I work with these myself and with clients.

It doesn't matter if you are new to self-development and holistic health or if you have been on it for years, the healing and heart-centered path always comes back to one thing, nervous system regulation. It's the main key to enable yourself to feel safe through all changes and shifts you undergo, willingly or unwillingly, in this human experience. In this first episode on nervous system regulation I talk about the main factor for succeeding in the changes you want to make in you life, how you can make you body feel safe in easy accessible ways and how to make life more enjoyable for yourself. Count on a lot more on this subject throughout the year, I want you to succeed too!

In this episode I share my journey in 2023 and some major lessons and knowledge that I brought with me that completely changed my life. For those of you that are curious what 2024 might bring I also have some predictions for you based on the upcoming astrology and energy-shifts. Welcome to 2024 and a new era of Heart Centered by Rizzo Holistic!
I felt like it was about time to start to address some very important, but controversial, topics in this podcast, apart from all the self-healing work that I talk about. A big part of the heart-centered path is to start to think for ourselves, and create our own perception about the world we live in, as we navigate our unique journeys. Therefore I wanted to talk about the dysfunction of the society we are all a part of, in one way or another, as it is one of the reasons why I am so passionate about the work that I do. As we are faced with a lot of darkness, collectively, it is easy to get caught up in the misery of this world, or to just look away, feeling like there is nothing we can do. How can we possibly heal and thrive in a world like this? Let me give you a new perspective on this, open your mind and join me in today's episode as I show you my inner rebel. Welcome to my most controversial episode yet, that you will want to listen to in its entirety, just make sure you breathe your way through it!
In the Northern hemisphere the darkness is rolling in and so are illnesses and seasonal depression. What is the secret to staying healthy throughout the winter, but also throughout life? In today's episode I give you the secret on how I have improved my health immensely these past six years and how you can start to improve yours! Welcome to another episode of Heart Centered by Rizzo Holistic!
Why is "failing" and falling into old patterns so important? Coming from a recovering perfectionist it's almost outrageous to even think about "making mistakes" or "failing" and it took a while for me to realise why it plays a major part in our evolution. In today's episode I talk about perfectionism, how life is like a meditation, the current collective energies, why we are being challenged so heavily right now and how this applies to the heart-centered path and our evolution as a society. Especially tune in today if you are going through a tough time right now and need some encuragement!
As this is becoming a very hot topic, I thought I might just add my flavour to this discussion from a holistic health and healing perspective. I've been postponing to record this episode for over a month, I waited for the inspiration to find me so I could explain this beautiful dynamic that is found in our inner union, but most evidently in our relationships, and last weekend it hit me. Therefore, in this episode, I explain, from a very visual perspective (as always), what feminine and masculine energies are, how they show up in our romantic relationships and my personal stories of what happened when I embodied wounded masculine and feminine energies. The post I talk about in the beginning of the episode is found pinned on my profile https://www.instagram.com/rizzoholistic/ Please share your thoughts and questions in the comment section! With love, Johanna Rizzo
Is it depression? Is it a mid-life crisis? Or is it "just" The Dark Night of the Soul? As this world is going through a collective Dark Night of the Soul and many are going through awakenings, this episode is a beacon of light in these dark times. In today's episode I paint you a mental picture of what the dark night of the soul is and give you some guidance on how to meet yourself and life during this process (or if you have someone close to you going through this, hopefully this episode will help you understand them better). How many Dark Night of the Soul will we have? What happens during this process? And what is the role of your ego in all of this? Tune in to find out! With love, Johanna Rizzo
Healthy and normal are two different things, especially in today's society. In this episode I shine a light on one of many unhealthy standards in society today, overstimulation and how it keeps us numb, disconnected from ourselves and makes it impossible to create happiness from the inside, because we have no idea of how we actually feel and who we are without all the "doing". I share my personal stories of how I have used stimulation to run away from myself and the most important practise of your life. Tune in for a somewhat controversial and rebellious episode!
Why are boundaries so important? And what do I mean when I say that boundaries are the highest form of self love? In this episode I talk about how we set healthy boundaries, and in the contrary what unhealthy boundaries are and how we can avoid using them, so that we can help all the relationships in our lives to grow stronger with more love!

Last week I did a little experiment and removed all stimulation (phone, books, watch etc) for 24 hours. In this episode I explain why I did this (and need to do similar things regularly), the psychology behind it, what happened and how this worked out for me. As a holistic coach it’s important for me to continue to keep showing up for myself, every day, in all layers and processes, so that I can show up for all my clients, yogis, followers and listeners. I hope by sharing this little presence experiment, that I can inspire you to show up for yourself on new levels as well. Happy listening!

In today's episode I dive deeper into what triggers are, how they show up in our lives and how we can move past them to live a freer life.

Fears, we all have them, big or small, they are there to keep us where we are "safe" and they have served their purpose in the human evolution.
