Description

What if healing meant moving your body — joyfully, messily,and without judgment?

In this episode, psychotherapist, personal trainer, and founder of Chaotic Healing, Jayden Aubryn joins Dawn to explore what it means to live intentionally, move intuitively, and reject all-or-nothing thinking. From their “Twerk for Trauma” course to their reflections on grief, celebration, and creative freedom, Jayden reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be linear — it just has to be yours.

Together, they talk about the power of embodiment, the traps of productivity and perfectionism, and why reframing “good vs. bad” into “helpful vs. harmful” might be the most compassionate boundary you can set.
