I share why I’m pausing this podcast at Episode 78 and shifting my focus toward women’s healthcare and midwifery. Then I close our Embodiment series by making “spiritual” practical: intuition in plain language, movement that feels safe, tiny rituals that actually fit real life, and a gentle seven-day plan to try right away.

What I cover

• Why I’m pressing pause and where you’ll still find me (Britta Jo’s Stay or Go community and her Substack; occasional guest spots)
• What “spiritual” means to me (no dogma, high honesty, body-based presence, and wonder)
• The difference between spirituality and religion (authority, beliefs, practices, belonging)
• Four doorways into daily embodied spirituality:
  1. Intuition & “going into myself”
  2. Movement & breath (three-song practice)
  3. Creativity & voice (micro-writing / voice notes)
  4. Nature & awe (awe walks and everyday noticing)
• Nervous-system first: green/yellow/red as a guide for any practice
• The RITUAL framework (Rooted in safety • Intention • Tiny • Unique cue • Accountability • Loop it)
• Obstacles & repairs: loneliness, the inner critic, religious trauma—how I respond without abandoning myself
• What success actually looks like: softer shoulders, steadier breath, a faster return to “I’m okay,” clearer yes/no

Seven-Day Micro-Plan (recap)

• Day 1 – Intuition Minute: two physiological sighs + one honest line (“What do I know right now?”)
• Day 2 – Movement Trio: Arrive → Loosen → Integrate (or one song if that’s all you’ve got)
• Day 3 – Awe Walk: notice one pattern, one color, one texture; end with one “thank you”
• Day 4 – Voice Note (5 min): what hurts / what feels good / where is my hope
• Day 5 – Tiny Altar: one comforting object placed with intention
• Day 6 – Co-Regulate: time with a safe person/pet; notice before/after
• Day 7 – Gain Review: what shifted 1% and what I want more of next week
