The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Opting Out of Urgency with Sarah Tacy
In this expansive and grounding conversation, I dialogue with nervous system specialist and somatic guide Sarah Tacy, whose work helps high-achieving visionaries move from survival mode into embodied sovereignty.
We explore how urgency culture disconnects us from our bodies, and how learning to pause, feel, and choose can bring us back to self-trust, presence, and liberation. Sarah shares her own powerful healing journey from chronic pain and performance-driven burnout into deep regulation, resourcing, and somatic wisdom.
You’ll hear how slowing down changes everything, from your nervous system to your creativity to your relationships, and why our bodies are not the obstacle, but the oracle.
Whether you’re navigating stress, healing ancestral patterns, or simply longing to feel more grounded and spacious, this episode is a breath of fresh air.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
- Slowing down as a nervous system tool and a radical act
- The difference between co-regulation and self-soothing
- What it really means to “opt out of urgency”
- Sarah’s healing journey and initiation on the island of Maui
- Resourcing without needing more money or time
- Breaking ancestral cycles and honoring emotional waves
- How to build capacity for the unknown
- The feminine voice, healthy expression, and embodied liberation
