Episode 4: This episode is a softer one. A conversation about slowing down, care, and coming back to yourself when the world feels loud.

Madeline sits down with Lauren McCourt, founder of Wild Hart Rituals and creator of The Wild Hart Year, a guided healing journal for women navigating burnout, grief, and emotional overwhelm. Together, they talk about nervous system care, ritual, journaling, and what it means to tend to yourself gently — without rushing the healing process.

Lauren shares how her own lived experience shaped this work, why helping even one woman feels meaningful, and how healing can be held rather than forced. This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself.
