As we close 2025 and step into 2026, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and stop abandoning yourself in the name of growth. If you’re exhausted from “doing the work” but still feel disconnected from your body, your voice, or your truth — this episode is for you.

In this season-threshold episode of The Arise with Anita podcast, somatic mindset coach and embodiment guide Anita invites you into a slower, more honest conversation about self-abandonment, nervous system regulation, and what it really means to grow without leaving yourself behind.

This episode isn’t about fixing, forcing, or reinventing yourself for the new year. It’s about recognizing the subtle ways high-achieving women override their bodies, silence their truth, and confuse survival with strength — and how that pattern quietly shapes burnout, disconnection, and dissatisfaction.

Through gentle reflection, embodied insight, and nervous-system-led awareness, Anita explores:

• How self-abandonment shows up in everyday life
• Why “pushing through” often disconnects us from ourselves
• The difference between survival-based growth and embodied presence
• What it means to stay with yourself as you enter 2026

This episode also bridges into the first guest conversation of the year with Craig Siegel, setting the tone for a deeper exploration of manifestation, embodiment, and alignment that doesn’t bypass the human experience.

Take a breath.
Slow down.
And begin the year by coming back to yourself.

If you felt something shift inside you today… hold that. Honor it.

This is how we rise — one choice, one voice, one brave breath at a time.
