In this Reflections with Jess episode, I share a moment from a small-town coffee shop where the simple act of someone typing nearby sent my nervous system into high alert. What unfolded was a reminder that healing is not about proving your strength—it’s about listening to your body, honouring your capacity, and choosing yourself.
✨ I’ve started a Fall Solo Date Reels series on Instagram, where each week I travel to a new small town, explore cozy cafés, and share the magic of solo adventures. The first one is live now—and yes, it features the café where this reflection was born. You can watch on @lifeaftertraumapodcast or on my personal account @jessvanrose.
