Stimming and Stewardship: The Sacred Work of Regulation

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, my friend Kristina Coombes joins me for an exploration of stimming across all our senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, interoception, proprioception, and the quiet wisdom of the vestibular system. Together we name stimming not as something to suppress, but as a faithful way of tending our nervous systems, a practice of stewarding our energy with compassion and clarity. We wonder aloud about the movements that help us stay present, the rhythms that regulate us, and the possibility that these small, honest motions might even become prayer.

And as we talk, a gentle shift begins: an invitation to see our own stimming—and the stimming of those we love—with new eyes. Not as distraction or disorder, but as communication, as care, as expression, and as an embodied path toward wholeness.
