Spaciousness | Are You Creating Space or Just Creating Distance?

Spaciousness has long been a guiding word in my life — but I’ve come to realize that truly living it is different from simply offering it to others. In this solo reflection, I explore what it means to create space in our lives — not as avoidance or burnout-fueled withdrawal, but as a life-giving, grounding practice of rehumanization. Together, we explore the difference between spaciousness that reconnects and survival-driven distance, and how this theme weaves into nervous system care, seasonal rhythms, and the ongoing practice of embodying what we teach. This episode is an invitation to reclaim spaciousness as a living practice — one that nourishes your nervous system, restores your clarity, and brings you into right relationship with your own capacity. Not every kind of space is life-giving. But the space that brings you back to yourself? That kind of space can change everything.
