What if urgency is the trauma, not the tool? A conversion on reclamation with Madison Abdullah
In this episode, I’m joined by Madison Abdullah, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and creative coach, and founder of Radiant Somatics for a powerful conversation about what it means to unravel urgency as a survival strategy and reclaim time as a space for safety, presence, and choice.
Inside the Holistic Time Practitioner Certification, Madison didn’t just learn new tools—she practiced and learned a new way of being. A way of following through without pressure. A way of working without collapse. A way of honoring her body’s truth instead of overriding it.
We talk about:
how urgency becomes embedded in the nervous system
reclaiming time as a trauma-healing practice
the difference between “doing it all” and being with what matters
letting go of internalized time pressure without losing momentum
how changing your pace changes the way you hold space for others
“I became more productive—but only after I stopped treating time like a threat.”
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck between burnout and ambition. For those who are tired of urgency—but afraid of what might happen if they actually slowed down.
