In this week's More Yourself episode, we explore the connection between personal growth, guilt, and the nervous system and the impact this interaction can have.Many women carry guilt quietly in their bodies. It can show up as chronic illness, pain, and other physical sensations. Over time, these emotions can settle into the nervous system and begin shaping how safe or unsafe change feels.In this clip from a recent More Yourself episode, we explore how learning to notice the physical sensations in our bodies can help us understand what we’re holding onto, and where growth might be trying to emerge.In this episode, we explore:Why growth and change can feel activating for the nervous systemHow guilt can show up physically in the bodyThe emotional weight many women carry without realisingHow guilt can quietly influence our decisionsWhy being a woman can add extra layers of expectation and pressureHow to recognise the blocks that can appear when we start thinking about changeHow recognising sensations in the body can help release stuck emotionsCreating space for new intentions, possibilities and directionsThis episode is a reminder that sometimes growth doesn't come from pushing yourself harder, but by gently noticing what your body has been trying to tell you all along.Why not start by asking yourself this question: If guilt wasn’t leading the way, what might growth feel like instead?Timestamps:00:10 - Exploring Growth and Change03:31 - Understanding Guilt and Growth07:44 - The Impact of Guilt on Decision Making11:57 - Releasing Emotional Blockages14:39 - Exploring Self-Sabotage and Personal GrowthWant to go deeper?This episode is taken from a recent monthly More Yourself live, where we explore these themes together in real time, alongside a community of women who understand ADHD and the complexity that comes with it.If this conversation resonates and you’d like more gentle, nervous-system-safe spaces for reflection, learning and support, we’d love to welcome you into the More Yourself community.Inside the More Yourself Membership, you’ll be able to:Connect with like-minded women who understand youLearn from guest experts and practical toolsReceive compassionate prompts & gentle remindersEnjoy voice-note encouragement from KateJoin flexible meet-ups and mentoring sessionsAccess on-demand workshops and quarterly guest expert sessionsTo join for £26 a month, click here.
