In this solo episode of the That Healing Feeling podcast, host Faith Ashenden (founder and CEO of That Healing Feeling) presents a coaching‑style guide to radical self‑love as the foundation for nervous‑system regulation and self‑healing. She frames the nervous system as a friend that must be understood, listened to, and cared for. Faith argues that subconscious beliefs about worthiness are the primary barrier to consistent self‑care; if we feel unworthy, any technique will fail. She then delivers five concrete, habit‑based tips: (1) Re‑program the subconscious belief that worthiness is innate rather than earned; (2) Tune into everyday bodily cues (hunger, thirst, fatigue, pain, anxiety) and respond to them instead of suppressing them; (3) Set a clear intention for every activity to nourish the nervous system, thereby mobilizing brain resources toward regulation; (4) Each morning list five things you love about yourself to shift attention toward positive self‑attributes and reinforce neural pathways of self‑affection; (5) Prepare for the day with a simple self‑care ritual (e.g., shower, light makeup, comfortable clothing) to signal a fresh start and boost dopamine. Faith interweaves neuroscience, subconscious programming, and energetics, using anecdotes (e.g., carb intake vs. dietitian advice) to illustrate how listening to the body trumps external prescriptions. She concludes with calls to action: rate/review the podcast, share, and consider her Health Transformation Accelerator program or a free call for personalized coaching. The episode’s purpose is to give listeners hope, actionable tools, and a mindset shift that positions self‑love as the gateway to lasting nervous‑system regulation and holistic healing.
