Journey to Self-Care
Journey to Self Care is a gentle listening space created to support moments when rest, grounding, and self-kindness are needed more than answers.
This offering weaves intentional sound with carefully held language, creating a steady, non-demanding experience the nervous system can trust. Rather than guiding or directing, the sounds invite presence — allowing listeners to arrive as they are, without expectation or effort.
There is no goal to reach and nothing to fix. You may listen lying down, seated, or moving slowly. You may stay for the full experience or step away and return later. Each choice is welcome.
Created collaboratively by Sound Alchemists JS Worldbridger and Julie Jewels Smoot, with reflective contribution from Author Honey Badger, this piece holds space for restoration, regulation, and quiet reconnection.
This is care without performance.
A place to pause.
A reminder that tending to yourself is allowed.Nothing is required of you.
About Journey to Self-Care
Journey to Self Care is a song created for the moments when turning inward feels safer than explaining, performing, or holding it together.
Rather than asking the listener to change or heal, the song offers companionship. The sound moves slowly, creating space for breath, sensation, and quiet noticing. It doesn’t rush or resolve. It stays. In that staying, the body is given permission to soften.
This song was shaped with care by Sound Alchemists JS Worldbridger and Julie Jewels Smoot, alongside the voice and sensibility of Author Honey Badger. Together, they created a piece that honors self-care not as a checklist or trend, but as an ongoing relationship with oneself — one that includes rest, boundaries, and listening.
Journey to Self Care can be returned to again and again: during recovery, after difficult conversations, or in moments when the nervous system needs reassurance more than words.
It is not a destination.
It is a practice.
A reminder that coming back to yourself counts.Professional Use License
