    You’re Not Bad at Relaxing… Your Body Forgot How
    Aug 18 2026
    Why can’t you relax even when you finally have time to rest? If you feel guilty relaxing, struggle to slow down, constantly feel stressed or overwhelmed, or always think about what you “should” be doing, your nervous system and stress response may be part of the reason.In this episode of the Holistic Mama Speaks podcast, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why so many busy women have become so accustomed to rushing, doing, caregiving, multitasking, and being needed that actually slowing down can feel uncomfortable.Maybe you finally sit down…and immediately start thinking about your to-do list.You take a day off…and somehow fill it with chores and errands.You go on vacation…but your mind keeps wandering back to everything waiting for you at home or work.Or maybe you’ve spent so many years taking care of everyone else that you’re not even sure what YOU enjoy anymore.Sound familiar?In this episode, you’ll discover:• Why your body can become accustomed to constantly being “on”• How chronic stress and fight-or-flight can make slowing down difficult• Why you may feel guilty when you’re not being productive• The connection between your nervous system, identity, stress, and rest• Why rushing can become an unconscious habit• 3 simple ways to begin making rest and self-care feel more normal• How to start putting yourself back into your own life• A simple 10-minute challenge you can try TODAYThis isn’t about abandoning your responsibilities or spending your entire day doing nothing.It’s about learning that you don’t have to earn the right to enjoy your own life.And maybe the next version of you doesn’t need to become better at doing MORE.Maybe she needs to become comfortable with slowing down, receiving support, experiencing joy, and actually enjoying the life she’s working so hard to create.If you’re craving more encouragement, connection, and meaningful relationships, you’ll also hear about the brand new women’s community.✨ WOMEN'S COMMUNITY⁠⁠⁠⁠https://Building-Upward.com/Women⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ FREE STUCK POINT QUIZFeeling stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure why you keep falling into the same patterns?

  • Your Dream Life Might Not Feel Safe to Your Nervous System

    Your Dream Life Might Not Feel Safe to Your Nervous System
    Aug 11 2026

    Nervous system regulation, subconscious patterns, identity, and personal growth may have more to do with creating your dream life than simply working harder. In this episode of the Holistic Mama Speaks podcast, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why your brain can resist the very changes you consciously want, especially when more money, better health, stronger relationships, greater confidence, or a different way of living feels unfamiliar.

    You may KNOW what you want.

    You may even know what you need to do.

    So why do you keep slipping back into old habits, reactions, and patterns?

    In this episode, you’ll discover how stress and fight-or-flight can influence your decisions, why familiar can feel safer than better, and how you can begin teaching your brain and body that the next version of your life is safe for you, too.

    You’ll also learn:

    • Why knowing what to do isn’t always enough
    • How familiar patterns can quietly influence your choices
    • Why your nervous system matters when creating lasting change
    • 3 simple ways to begin making your future self feel more familiar
    • One powerful question to help you make different decisions today

    If you’ve been craving more happiness, health, confidence, abundance, freedom, or fulfillment but keep finding yourself pulled back toward the same old patterns, this episode may help you understand why.


    If you’re craving more encouragement, connection, and meaningful relationships, you’ll also hear about the brand new women’s community.

    In this episode you’ll discover:

    * What manifestation actually means

    * How the Reticular Activating System (RAS) influences your focus

    * Why repeated thoughts become repeated behaviors
