What if the exhaustion many high-achieving women feel isn’t failure—but a body asking to be heard? In this episode of Soul Sparks, hosted by Yusuf, trauma-informed somatic practitioner Leslie Draffin joins the conversation to explore feminine spirituality, womb wisdom, and nervous system healing through simple daily rituals.
This episode is for women who appear successful on the outside but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or constantly pushing through. Leslie shares how womb-centered awareness, nervous system regulation, and small intentional rituals can help rebuild trust with the body. Listeners will discover how slowing down, honoring intuition, and adding intention to everyday moments can shift burnout into balance.
