This episode goes beyond surface-level self-care and dives into what true healing looks like—messy, real, and deeply human. Valerie brings a refreshing blend of grounded expertise, nervous system wisdom, and feminine insight, offering practical tools and soulful reflections for anyone craving more alignment, energy, and meaning.
