The Drum and the Drumsticks | Brittney Muñoz • Brittney Fusion

"They have the drumstick. You're the drum. And you bought them the drumsticks."

 

That's the line that lands halfway through this conversation, and it's the one that stays with you.

 

In this episode of Tap Intuit, Ravyn RB sits down with Brittney Muñoz of Brittney Fusion for a conversation about what actually happens in a nervous system that's been running on push-through for too long, and what it takes to come back from it.

 

Brittney is a yoga teacher and trauma-informed practitioner based in Colorado Springs. She teaches gentle and warm gentle classes at Cambio Yoga and works one-on-one with clients through her virtual offerings and 12-week mentorship program. She came to this work through the medical field, where she learned firsthand what it costs to skip lunch, skip the bathroom, and skip yourself for years at a time.

 

The conversation moves through the moment she realized her reactivity to her kids' noise wasn't actually about the noise. It was about whether she had eaten. Whether the sun had touched her skin. Whether she had given herself 30 seconds that day. She walks through the self-check questions she now asks before she reacts, and why building those 30-second moments ten times a day did what twice-weekly yoga classes couldn't.

 

She also speaks plainly about what she is and isn't. "I'm not a healer. I don't fix things." Yoga, for her, is the door. Not the fix.

 

Where this episode lands is in the permission to start small. Not 20 minutes. One minute. Not a perfect sunset hike without the kids. Thirty seconds in the middle of the noise, while the kids are still banging on things, asking yourself one honest question.

 

Her message is direct. You don't need more time. You need to stop pushing through.

 

You'll learn:

• Why "I don't have time to meditate" is the wrong problem, and what to do in 30 seconds instead
• The self-check questions that shift reactivity into regulation, especially for moms and caregivers
• How gentle, trauma-informed yoga creates choice on the mat, and why that matters more than the workout
