In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Lara Bokovay, an intuitive coach and nervous system guide, for a powerful conversation about choosing healing over hustling. Lara is a solo mother who walked through burnout and betrayal, only to rebuild her life and business without abandoning herself. We're getting into the messy parts of trauma and self-betrayal, and why the relentless need to perform is a garbage-sauce tactic that keeps you shrinking.
Lara embodies the radical truth that softness isn’t weakness, it's the foundation of real power. Her work blends truth-telling and trauma-informed support to help women lead from their wholeness, not their wounds. This is a crucial reframe: your ambition doesn't have to be fueled by an activated nervous system. We discuss practical takeaways on how to root into your power, set boundaries that stick, and finally stop editing the parts that make you magic.
This episode is your permission slip to prioritize nervous system regulation as a form of radical self-love. You'll realize that you can have a successful business and a full life without constantly performing. Julie May and Lara Bokovay prove that healing gets loud when you decide to take up space and live ridiculously real.
