Episode Description
Learn how to restart your healing journey after you fall off, and why taking a break from the work doesn't mean you quit. In this trauma recovery podcast episode, trauma survivor Tracy Smaldino shares why healing burnout is real, why fall is the true reset season, and how the emotional weight she was carrying kept her body from letting go for decades.
Every tour has a break in it. Coming back is always harder than starting. That doesn't mean the tour is over.
In this episode:
- Why healing burnout is real and why your break was necessary, not a failure
- What touring actually does to a body — and why healing is the exact same job
- The story you tell yourself about the gap and why it does more damage than the gap
- Why fall is the real reset season, not January
- Why you shouldn't come back to something new
- How unprocessed emotional weight kept Tracy's body holding on for decades
- Why the inside work has to come before the outside work
- 5 steps to get back on tour this week
"Missing your practice is a gap. Believing you're someone who can't sustain a practice is an identity. One of those takes a week to fix."
