    Self-Care isn't what you think!

    In this first episode of Holding Space, Ihsane sits down with therapist Nora Elmi to explore self-care beyond quick fixes; through the lens of motherhood, emotional well-being, and nervous system regulation. Together, they unpack the invisible mental load women carry, the impact of stress on the body, and how healing happens through small, intentional daily practices; not perfection.
