In this episode of Two Mystic Mamas, Krystyn & Rachael are hanging out with the fabulous Vanessa Sestina—leadership coach, somatic practitioner, and all-around incredible human! She’s partnered with leaders across five continents, helping them unlock their full, vibrant aliveness in work, play, and everything in between.

We dive deep into the pressures we all feel to be "perfectly healed”, and how exhausting it is to chase all the "should be's" in life. Vanessa shares her wisdom on how to release the burnout and drop the burden. Turns out, calibrating yourself with awareness and choice might be exactly what you need—especially if you’re living with chronic illness. We also chat about how to center and down-regulate your nervous system when you’re feeling overwhelmed, but also how sometimes, it’s necessary to rev up your energy when life calls for it.

Bonus: Vanessa leads us through a centering practice you can follow along with. It’s a feel-good, soul-nourishing episode packed with real talk, self-compassion, and tips for reclaiming your energy.

We know you’ll walk away from this episode feeling more connected and ready to drop those “should be’s”! If you loved this episode as much as we did, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your friends who might need a little somatic wisdom in their lives.
