EP38 The Perfectionism Trap, Adrenal Fatigue & Listening to the Wisdom of the Body with Kerry Magnus

Today I'm chatting with Kerry Magnus,  a Holistic Psychologist, and BodyTalk practitioner. She supports women who are deeply called to make an impact in the world to embrace their purpose without burning out. Through her own journey of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome Kerry discovered that there was a gift in the fatigue as her body communicated that something needed to change.


In this episode we discuss:

• How perfectionism was hampering Kerry’s ability to show up in motherhood the way she envisioned and how it led her to severe burnout
• The uncomfortable reality of dreading time with your child when you are trying to parent through a fog of exhaustion
• Postnatal depletion and the huge impact it has on a mother’s quality of life
• Living with the crushing weight of adrenal fatigue symptoms (and what they are)
• The roots of not feeling like enough and not feeling safe to be in our emotions based on how our parents responded to us as children
• The 5-step process Kerry used to help herself get out of being in adrenal fatigue
• The value of restorative and nourishing practices like yoga nidra, grounding, and shaking
• Tapping into both divine masculine energy for structure and safety in our lives as well as divine feminine energy for life force
• The Body Talk process and how it can support tapping into the body’s innate wisdom for creating wellness

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place. 

This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.

I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a certified TRE provider (which stands for tension & trauma releasing exercises), trauma-informed yoga instructor, and also a dynamic self-care coach for moms. And of course, a fellow radical mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience-backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
