Welcome to 'Reignite with Reet,' where I, Reet, take you on a journey through the transformative year of 2025. This year was all about facing challenges, embracing change, and setting intentions for a softer, more intentional life in 2026. Join me as I share personal stories of launching my podcast, overcoming fears, and the path to self-discovery.

2025 was a year of immense growth and learning. It was a time to face myself with compassion and grace, to let go of control, and to embrace the changes that life brought my way. Through the ups and downs, I learned the importance of taking risks and learning from experiences, setting the stage for a more intentional life in the coming year.

One of the most significant milestones of the year was launching my podcast. It was a dream I had nurtured for years, and finally taking the leap was both terrifying and exhilarating. The journey taught me that sometimes you just have to jump, even when you don't have all the answers. It was a lesson in trusting the process and believing in my ability to learn and grow.

As I navigated the challenges of 2025, I discovered the power of self-reflection and growth. I learned to balance giving and receiving, to seek help and build supportive communities, and to embrace my unique path and identity. These lessons have set the foundation for a softer, more intentional life in 2026.

As we step into the new year, I am filled with hope and excitement. I am setting intentions for a life filled with courage, compassion, and authenticity. I invite you to join me on this journey, to pursue your dreams, and to embrace the unique path that lies ahead.

Thank you for being a part of 'Reignite with Reet.' I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on your own journey, to embrace change, and to set intentions for a fulfilling and intentional life in 2026. Let's step into the new year with courage and compassion.

Stay tuned for more episodes and join me as we continue to explore the themes of growth, change, and self-discovery. Subscribe now to be a part of this transformative journey.

In this deeply nourishing conversation, Reet sits down with Jaime, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and somatic therapist, to explore what true healing really looks like when we move beyond the mind and into the wisdom of the body.

Jaime shares her powerful journey from marketing and nonprofit work into therapy, a calling that emerged during the transformative postpartum season after birthing twins. What began as curiosity became a soul aligned path into somatic experiencing, nervous system regulation, and trauma informed healing.

Together, Reet and Jaime unpack:
• Why healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but returning to who you’ve always been
• How trauma lives in the nervous system, not just the story
• The difference between retelling pain and renegotiating it safely in the body
• Why safety, slowness, and curiosity are essential for lasting healing
• How substances, coping mechanisms, and “fix-it” culture can unintentionally bypass true connection
• The power of co-regulation, especially in parenting and relationships
• Why curiosity must become greater than fear for real transformation to occur

Jamie beautifully explains somatic experiencing, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and how the body naturally seeks balance when given the right conditions. This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, your body is intelligent, and healing unfolds when we learn to listen inward.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in repeating stories, overwhelmed by healing culture, or longing to feel safe in your own body again, this conversation is for you.
