Your nervous system craves predictability - but that doesn't mean rigid rules. This episode explores why rhythm and routine matter so much for nervous system regulation, what to do when you rebel against structure, and how to create Supportive Structure that feels like freedom instead of restriction. Even if you think you hate routine, this episode might change your perspective.What You'll Discover:• Why your nervous system needs predictability to feel safe• The difference between rigid rules and Supportive Structure with flexibility• How to work with rebellion against routine instead of forcing yourself through it• Why even unwanted patterns (like binge eating) have their own rhythm - and what that means for changeIf you've ever told yourself "I'm not a routine person" or felt trapped by structure, this episode offers a completely different way to think about rhythm and routine.Resources mentioned in this episode:Previous Episode: Supportive StructurePrevious Episode: What Does the Nervous System Have to Do with Binge Eating?Previous Episode: A Nervous System Approach to Goal SettingSchedule a Breakthrough Call to explore 1:1 coachingWant to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

Stress is preventing learning, leadership, and healing—and most people don't know why.In this episode of The Mark Divine Show, Dr. Jeannie Iberlin—transformational coach, former school administrator, and author of The Unbelievable Power of Feelings—explains why mindfulness isn't about escaping emotions, but learning how to feel without being overwhelmed.You'll learn:- Why anxiety shuts down learning and decision-making- The difference between “thinking about feelings” vs actually feeling them- How short, consistent mindfulness practices rewire the nervous system- Why meditation doesn't require bliss, silence, or perfection- How teachers, leaders, parents, and children can regulate emotions daily - The overlooked connection between trauma, stress, and emotional suppression- What “waking up” and “waking down” really means for personal growthThis conversation is practical, grounded, and deeply human—offering tools you can use immediately, whether you're leading a classroom, a team, or your own inner work.

Content note: This episode discusses trauma, parenting stress, and nervous system overwhelm. There are no graphic details, but please take care while listening.Parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system can stir up your own trauma in ways that feel surprising, intense, and deeply unsettling.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Audible and Strong Coffee Company. You've probably heard of the trauma responses fight, flight, and freeze — but there's a fourth response that may be shaping your life without you even realizing it: fawning. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Clayton, PhD a clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, and author of Fawning, to understand why people-pleasing, over-accommodating, and self-abandonment are not personality flaws — they're intelligent survival responses your nervous system learned to keep you safe. You'll learn how fawning develops when fight, flight, or freeze aren't available — especially in childhood, unequal power dynamics, toxic relationships, and work environments where your safety or stability feels at risk. You'll also discover how living in a chronic fawn response can quietly disconnect you from your needs, your voice, your body, and your sense of self. This conversation helps you recognize why "just setting boundaries" often feels impossible, why you may disappear in relationships, and why choosing yourself can feel terrifying even when you know something needs to change. Most importantly, you'll hear why none of this means something is wrong with you — you make sense. If you've been stuck in survival mode, waiting for permission, approval, or safety outside yourself, this episode will help you understand what's been happening beneath the surface — and how you can begin moving forward by reconnecting with who you truly are.

If life feels harder in your body since your person died, if you notice yourself feeling grumpy, exhausted, numb, or overwhelmed in ways that don't always make sense, you're not imagining it. When your person dies, your nervous system loses something foundational that you may not have even realized you had. Suddenly, things that used to feel easy feel hard, everything feels out of whack, and we don't feel at home in our bodies the way we're used to. Join me this week as I help you understand what's happening inside your nervous system after loss, how to recognize different nervous system states when they show up, and how to support yourself in ways that actually help.

In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I explore the powerful connection between fear, conditioning, and the nervous system in birth.I share how fear can affect labour hormones and physiology, why so many of us are unconsciously conditioned to fear birth, and how the stories we hear can shape how birth feels and unfolds. I also talk about simple, practical mindset shifts you can start using now to support your nervous system and feel calmer and more confident as you prepare for birth.This episode is especially supportive if you're feeling anxious about birth, have been affected by negative stories, or want to better understand how to work with your body rather than against it.In this episode, I cover:How the nervous system influences labour and birthThe fear–tension–pain cycleWhy fear around birth is learned, not innateThe impact of birth stories and conditioningSimple tools to create safety and calm before and during labourAccess the Family Sustainability Hub here

Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we're doing “all the right things”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story. So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what's happening beneath the surface. We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing  and real financial freedom becomes possible.

207 If you've ever walked away from a conversation with your partner feeling more overwhelmed, more disconnected, or more upset than when you started — this episode is for you.In this conversation, we explore why so many well-intentioned attempts to “talk things through” actually escalate conflict instead of resolving it — especially for highly sensitive people.You'll learn what's really happening in your nervous system during moments of emotional intensity, why communication breaks down when safety drops, and the difference between processing an emotion and unintentionally ruminating in it.We'll also talk about:Why your “survival brain” hijacks conversations when you're floodedHow trying to communicate while dysregulated can create a fight–fight loopWhy timing matters more than technique when it comes to hard conversationsWhat it means to regulate first — and communicate second.This episode isn't about blaming yourself or your partner. It's about understanding the physiology underneath communication struggles — so you can stop trying to solve emotional problems at the wrong level.If you're a sensitive person who wants calmer, more honest, more connecting communication — without forcing or over-explaining — this episode will help you see your patterns with more compassion and clarity.SHOW NOTES:Learn all about and join Hannah in Foundations of Emotional Well-Being For HSPs; The Root Of a Safer Marriage and Heart here.

Have you ever been triggered in a relationship and thought, “Why am I reacting like this?”In this episode, I'm joined by Vienna Pharaon, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to explain how your past shapes your nervous system, and why that's what's really running your relationship patterns.We break down the “family blueprint,” why you're drawn to what's familiar, and how to move from survival mode into choice, so you can respond differently when you're activated instead of repeating the same cycle.This episode will help you change your life by changing your relationship with your past.Vienna Pharaon is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in New York.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction(00:31) The Impact of Family on Future Relationships(02:24) The Role of Awareness and Practice in Healing(04:23) The Importance of Consistency in Personal Growth(06:46) Navigating Familial and Romantic Relationships(09:27) The Subtle Triggers of the Nervous System(11:15) The Challenge of Isolation and Healing(15:25) Choosing Different Patterns in Relationships(20:33) Addressing Origin Wounds for True Healing(24:23) Personal Story: Overcoming Past Patterns(26:35) The Power of Setting Boundaries(27:48) Surviving the Emotional Aftermath(29:11) The Importance of Community Support(30:04) The Reality of Personal Change(34:14) Immersion Therapy and Personal Growth(41:00) Navigating Relationships and Self-Protection(45:12) About the Book and Final ThoughtsGet the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here:go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Vienna:Quiz: https://viennapharaon.com/origin-wound-quiz/ The Origin Healing Method: https://courses.viennapharaon.com/the-origin-healing-method Website: https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmft/ Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever felt shaken after watching the news, cried during a movie you knew wasn't real, or felt your body soften simply by looking at trees or water? In this episode, we explore the science and wisdom behind why the nervous system responds to what we witness, whether it be through screens, sound, story, or nature itself. You'll learn how the brain simulates experience, why mirror neurons drive empathy and emotional replication, and how the autonomic nervous system reacts to perceived safety or threat, even when nothing is happening directly to you. We also take a grounded look at how repeated exposure to distressing media has impacted collective nervous systems, including how continual replay of 9/11 footage affected individuals who were not physically present. This episode gently reframes sensitivity as biological intelligence and offers nature-based ways to restore balance in a modern world filled with overstimulation.

Erin received her Naturopathic Doctor degree from Bastyr University in 2001, and remains true to the primary principles of naturopathic medicine – the healing power of nature, treating the whole person, and doctor as teacher. Dr. Erin Stokes realized her passion and skill for education early in her career.  Shortly after launching her naturopathic practice in Boulder, Colorado, she became an instructor at Southwest Acupuncture College.  She also worked as a Lead Practitioner at Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy providing one-on-one integrative health consultations. Through her different roles as Director of Education and Medical Director over the last 13 years, Dr. Erin has emerged as a media spokesperson, with a unique ability to translate technical knowledge, combined with an engaging personal style. As Medical Director at WishGarden,  Dr. Erin Stokes is energized about finding new and effective ways to help share the power of herbalism to improve people's lives and is a frequent podcast and TV guest. Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erinstokesnd/   WishGarden Herbs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wishgardenherbs/  MY PARTNERS: Stress, poor sleep, and getting run down don't happen in isolation — they're signals from the body asking for support. That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.

If you've ever felt like your body and your mind were working against you—stuck in stress, burnout, or exhaustion—this episode is for you.Marianne sits down with Kelly Hale, a wellness practitioner with over 25 years of experience as an occupational therapist, restorative movement specialist, and nervous system regulation expert. Kelly's not your typical wellness voice—she's a self-proclaimed former meditation dropout who discovered that healing doesn't come from doing more, but from listening within.Through her Gutsy Brain Movement, Kelly helps people move from fight, flight, or freeze into ease by blending nervous system regulation, gut health, and gentle, intentional movement. In this conversation, Kelly shares how her own health struggles with celiac disease and fertility challenges deepened her understanding of the body's innate wisdom—and how we can all learn to trust our own bodies again.Together, Marianne and Kelly explore: ✅ What nervous system regulation really means (and why it matters in midlife) ✅ How gut health and emotional well-being are connected ✅ What it looks like to rebuild trust with your body after years of disconnect ✅ Simple, everyday practices to calm anxiety and restore balance ✅ Why “healing” doesn't have to be complicatedIf you're ready to trade stress for self-awareness and exhaustion for ease, this episode will remind you that everything you need to heal already lives within you.Connect with Kelly:Website:  https://inspiredwell.com/Inner Peace Freebie: https://inspiredwell.com/innerpeaceIG:  https://www.instagram.com/inspired2wellness/FB:  https://www.facebook.com/inspiredwellnesskelly Connect with Marianne: Website: Message In The Middle with Marianne Message In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966 Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with Marianne Subscribe to Message In the Middle: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Leave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

Why do so many people struggle with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone issues, and burnout — even when they're eating “clean” and training hard? In this episode, we break down the real reason your body isn't healing and why most health advice fails to address the root cause.Joined by Lindsay Perry, this conversation dives deep into a systems-based approach to health, exploring how the gut, liver, hormones, nervous system, sleep, and stress all work together to control energy, metabolism, and long-term results.Rather than focusing on symptoms, trends, or extreme diets, this episode explains what's happening under the hood — from ATP production and mitochondrial function to cortisol regulation, nervous system balance, and metabolic flexibility. You'll learn why pushing harder often backfires and how chronic stress quietly sabotages recovery, fat loss, and hormone health.We cover:Why gut and liver health are foundational for hormones and energyHow stress and nervous system dysregulation block healing and fat lossThe role of sleep and circadian rhythm in metabolism and recoveryWhy detoxification and elimination are biological processes — not fadsHow to fuel properly based on stress, activity, and current health stateLindsay Perry brings real-world coaching insight throughout the episode, helping connect science with practical application for people who feel stuck despite doing “everything right.”If you're tired of surface-level health advice and want a clear, root-cause explanation of how the body actually heals, this episode will change how you think about health, fitness, and recovery.00:00 – Introduction & Why Most People Aren't Healing00:41 – The “March Method” & Root-Cause Health Explained01:02 – ATP, Mitochondria & Cellular Energy Basics01:19 – Hormones, Cycles & Why Balance Matters02:44 – Detox, Elimination & Why the Body Gets Stuck04:14 – Cold Exposure, Stress Adaptation & Recovery05:50 – Stress Load, Burnout & Early Cortisol Discussion07:55 – Fueling the Body: Fat vs Carbs Explained10:57 – Sleep, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health12:12 – Gut Health: The Foundation of Healing15:48 – Liver Function, Detox Pathways & Hormones18:35 – Inflammation, Energy Deficits & Fatigue21:30 – Nervous System Regulation & Chronic Stress24:35 – Cortisol, Survival Mode & Weight Loss Resistance28:10 – Why Pushing Harder Makes Things Worse32:24 – Metabolic Flexibility & Long-Term Healing34:27 – Nervous System Reset & Final Takeaways35:57 – Closing ThoughtsDisclaimer:The information discussed in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Blood work is trending — but most people are reading it wrong.“Normal” labs don't mean optimal, and context is what everyone is missing.In this episode, we break down why blood work has become a trend instead of a tool, how people are misinterpreting their labs, and why “normal” results often create false confidence instead of real clarity. Everyone wants answers from a single panel, but very few understand how to read blood markers in context.Joined by Lindsay Perry, the conversation dives into what blood work can and cannot tell you, why markers like insulin, glucose, and A1C must be viewed together, and why relying on isolated numbers leads to poor decisions. We also discuss the limitations of cortisol testing, why blood work alone doesn't capture nervous system stress, and where additional tools like genetics and functional testing actually fit.This episode isn't anti–blood work — it's anti-misuse.You'll hear a grounded, coaching-driven perspective on:Why blood work became popular — and how it's being misunderstoodThe danger of reading labs without lifestyle, behavior, and symptom contextInsulin as a missing piece in most standard blood panelsWhy cortisol is difficult to assess accurately through blood work aloneHow genetics, gut health, and deeper testing inform smarter decisionsWhy data without interpretation creates confusion, not solutionsLindsay Perry brings real-world coaching insight into how health data should guide action, not anxiety, and why context matters more than any single number on a report.If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but still don't feel right — this conversation explains why.00:00 – Why Blood Work Is Trending Right NowBlood work has become the latest health trend and why everyone wants answers from labs.01:18 – Everyone Wants to Be a Blood Work ExpertHow access to data without education creates confusion and false authority.03:05 – Why “Normal” Blood Work Can Be MisleadingUnderstanding reference ranges vs optimal health and why people feel stuck.05:12 – The Missing Marker: InsulinWhy insulin is often ignored, how it connects to glucose and A1C, and why it matters.08:04 – Looking at Markers Together, Not in IsolationWhy single lab values don't tell the full story.10:36 – Cortisol and the Limits of Blood TestingWhy cortisol is difficult to assess through blood work alone.13:02 – Stress, the Nervous System, and What Labs MissWhy lifestyle and nervous system regulation don't show up clearly on labs.15:48 – Genetics as a Coaching ToolHow genetic testing is used to guide smarter decisions, not labels.18:22 – Detox, Methylation, and Mitochondrial Pathways ExplainedBreaking down common genetic categories and what they influence.21:10 – Gut Health, Sensitivities, and Deeper TestingWhen blood work isn't enough and additional testing becomes relevant.24:05 – Why Context Matters More Than Any NumberHow symptoms, behavior, and lifestyle complete the picture.26:42 – Coaching vs Data ObsessionWhy data should guide action, not anxiety.29:30 – Using Blood Work the Right WayHow to treat labs as a tool, not a diagnosis.32:10 – Final Thoughts: Blood Work Isn't the EnemyWhy blood work is valuable when used correctly and responsibly.⚠️ DisclaimerThis content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice.

In Day 6 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Balance—releasing anxiety by layering the week's most effective practices into one calming sequence you can use anytime. This episode combines a longer-exhale breathing technique (Anchor Breath), a grounding focus, Prithvi Mudra for emotional protection, and a solar plexus (3rd chakra) nurturing practice to restore steadiness and self-trust. You'll learn how anxiety can pull you into extremes and how a predictable "return to center" routine helps your nervous system settle faster. If you've been feeling overstimulated, reactive, or scattered, this layered meditation will help you come back to calm, clear balance—one breath at a time. Featured practice: Layered balance stack (Release + Rest + Ground + Protect + Nurture) Best time to practice: transitions, before conversations, before sleep, after overstimulation Intention: restore inner steadiness and reduce anxiety spirals This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3:  Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.) Day 4:  Prithi Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Third Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

SURPRISE!! I've got a bonus episode for you this week.  I'm going to explore three of the most commonly asked questions I hear from students about the chakras — especially how they relate to the nervous system, your fascia, and lived experience.

There's something deeply relieving about having a five-minute practice that can actually help your nervous system calm down. This short episode was created for those moments when your system feels a little keyed up, a little stressed, or just in need of a grounding pause. In this gentle somatic practice, you'll be guided through soothing touch, slow, settling breathing, and simple somatic awareness. These are all very direct ways of giving your nervous system signals of safety and support, so it can begin to soften and come out of high alert. If you've been wanting something that's truly small, truly doable, and still genuinely supportive, this five-minute practice is a beautiful place to begin. Press play and let your nervous system slow down and settle.

Send us a textTrauma isn't only about what happened—it's about what happened inside your nervous system when an experience was too much, too fast, too soon, or too long, without enough support, choice, or protection. In this episode, we clarify what trauma is (and isn't), using simple, polyvagal-informed language—so you can replace shame and confusion with understanding. You'll also be guided through a short grounding practice you can use anytime.In this episode, you'll learnA clear, compassionate definition of trauma that goes beyond the “one big event” narrativeWhy two people can experience similar events and be impacted differentlyThe difference between stress and trauma (and why that matters)Why trauma responses are adaptations, not character flawsHow trauma can be remembered as sensations, triggers, and patterns—not just a storyA simple polyvagal lens: safety & connection, mobilised protection (fight/flight), and shutdown protectionA short, trauma-neutral grounding practice to support regulationGentle remindersTrauma is not a competition. You don't need to justify your pain.If your body reacts while listening—tightness, racing thoughts, numbness—this is information, not failure.You're invited to pause, skip ahead, or return later.

In this deeply human episode, my client Founder and CEO Denise Gosnell shares how she went from zero revenue and feeling the constant pressure to prove herself, to building a multiple 6-figure business, and finally feeling calm in her own skin,  all in just 90 days!You'll hear what it looks like when a high-achieving executive stops leading from fear and starts creating from deep conviction in herself. For Denise, that meant forgiving and releasing the patterns from society and family that kept her chasing more success, and learning to trust herself again.This is not another “success story.” It's a blueprint for the new paradigm of leadership: where your results expand as you come into deeper alignment with who you truly are.Because when you stop second-guessing every move, pushing through exhaustion, and trying to prove your worth, you start leading from trust instead of anxiety. And that's when your results come with ease. The big revenue goals, the deeper love, the grounded calm you've craved to feel every day….they all start to unfold.Follow Denise Gosnell:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisekgosnellWebsite: https://denisegosnell.aiSubstack: https://substack.com/@denisegosnell

In this episode, Liv breaks down the five nervous system habits that determine whether money feels volatile or sustainable, and why wealth is not created through strategy, mindset, or effort, but through regulation, identity, and what your body has been trained to normalize.Inside this episode:

Most Christians don't lose their faith overnight. They lose it slowly—through fatigue, distraction, and disorder. In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down why mornings are not just a productivity hack, but a spiritual battleground.Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, circadian biology, and lived discipleship, he shows how your first 30 minutes shape your faithfulness, clarity, and emotional regulation for the entire day. You'll learn why Scripture before screens matters neurologically and biblically, why sunlight and movement anchor your nervous system, how prayer realigns your loves, and why delaying dopamine restores authority over your mind.This isn't aesthetic “quiet time.” It's embodied stewardship of the body God designed.Main Discussion Themes-Why mornings are about consecration, not self-care-First fruits theology and the discipline of order-Scripture before screens: neurological and spiritual implications-Circadian rhythm, cortisol, testosterone, and morning light-Dopamine, novelty, and nervous system dysregulation-Training attention toward truth instead of threat-Prayer as alignment, not performance-Habit formation and spiritual plasticity -Stewardship of the body as worship-A simple, repeatable, faithful morning rule of lifeTimestamped Outline0:00 – 0:45 Hook: “If Satan can't steal your salvation, he'll gladly steal your morning.” Why most Christians drift through fatigue, distraction, and disorder.0:45 – 1:45 Biblical foundation: Psalms 5:3, Mark 1:35, Lamentations 3:23. Mornings as first fruits and consecration.1:45 – 2:45 Orientation: Who is Lord today?

Why God designed your body to win the day early. 3:45 – 4:45 Dopamine, novelty, phones, and nervous system scrambling.

What if healing doesn't come from doing more — but from being more fully here?In this episode of The Future of Wellness, Keith Parker explores the power of presence and how the simple act of being fully present becomes one of the most effective healing forces available to us.Drawing from therapeutic practice, nervous system regulation, meditation traditions, and direct perception of the human energy field, Keith unpacks why presence is the common ground beneath all healing modalities — and how it works in real, tangible ways.In this conversation, you'll explore:Why presence is the foundation of all effective healing workHow neutrality and non-judgment create safety for deep transformationThe role of presence in nervous system re-regulation and trauma healingHow the present moment restores coherence and groundingA rare look at how presence mechanically reorganises the energy fieldRather than chasing change through effort or force, this episode reveals how coherence, regulation, and healing naturally emerge when the system returns to the present moment.Coming soon our next EHT-100: Level 1 — Energy Healing Training, a four-month live immersion designed to cultivate presence, perception, and energetic skill from the inside out.If you feel called to deepen your capacity to hold space, regulate the nervous system, and work skillfully with the energy field, this episode offers a powerful orientation to the work — and the training offers a path to embody it.Enjoyed the episode?

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, you keep falling into the same food and emotional patterns? If you feel stuck in cycles of emotional eating, self-sabotage, or using food for comfort or distraction, this episode is for you.In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most powerful forces shaping your relationship with food and your behaviors: your triggers. These patterns aren't accidents or a lack of willpower—they're deeply ingrained programs in your mind and nervous system. And the good news? They can be recognized, understood, and transformed.We explore how triggers exist in all five senses—smells, sounds, tastes, sights, and touch—and how they activate dysregulated emotions that feel hard or impossible to sit with. These emotions aren't weaknesses; they're signals from your nervous system shaped by past experiences, conditioning, and unmet emotional needs.I break down the difference between protection mode and safety mode, and why your nervous system state plays a massive role in emotional eating, weight loss resistance, and habit change. This is the missing piece most diets never address.You'll learn:Why emotional eating is an automatic response, not a personal failureHow triggers activate unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and coping behaviorsWhy awareness alone begins to unravel patternsHow learning to sit with emotions retrains your nervous systemPractical steps to gently interrupt old patterns without judgmentThis episode will help you see that your food choices and habits are deeply linked to how safe your body feels—not discipline or willpower.Awareness is your superpower. Once you can see the “movie” of your triggers, you can pause, choose differently, and begin rewiring patterns that no longer serve you. Healing happens step by step, with patience, self-compassion, and curiosity—and your next decision is the one that shapes your transformation.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

In this insightful episode, Michael and Ally discuss their annual meetings focused on self-improvement and navigating life transitions. They reflect on the last year's theme of managing transitions, driven largely by personal changes such as moving countries and taking on new projects. The conversation delves into understanding change versus transition, with an emphasis on the significance of the nervous system in handling life's challenges. They introduce six pillars crucial for transformation: origin story, value system, nervous system management, vision roadmap, identity and foundations, and implementation. Practical advice is shared for managing stress, the importance of morning routines, and the critical need for self-awareness to achieve long-term growth. Listeners are encouraged to focus on incremental improvements and regularly reassess their goals to maintain a healthy balance in life and work.Connect with Ally:https://allygordoncoaching.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ally-gordon-coaching/Connect with the podcastJoin the Hospitality Mavericks newsletterTune in via your favourite podcast platform - here More episodes for you to check out here A big thank you to our episode sponsor Monotree.They help hospitality operators strengthen operations and scale company culture by creating a "Branded Front Door" for your workforce.Head to their website to sign up.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.You didn't fail. Your nervous system did.You didn't manifest the house, the partner, the money, the peace — not because you didn't believe hard enough. Not because you weren't disciplined or “aligned” or didn't script your affirmations just right. It's because your nervous system wasn't safe enough to receive it.This is why manifestation fails in 2026. And I'm done watching powerful women blame themselves when the truth is: mindset isn't enough anymore. We're in a whole new energetic frequency now. Survival mode blocks creation mode. And if you don't know how to regulate your nervous system, your manifestations are going to keep slipping through your fingers.Episode Takeaways:Why mindset and belief alone do not create manifestationHow an unregulated nervous system blocks receivingWhy manifestation fails faster in 2026Survival mode vs. creation modeRegulation as the foundation of real manifestationIf this hits, it's because it's true. I'm not here to coddle you — I'm here to crack you open and regulate you back into your power. You don't manifest what you want. You manifest what your body can hold. So we start with safety. Identity. Regulation. From there, we create miracles.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY ✨(previously called Secret Society of Manifestors)Your Gateway to Manifesting Wealth, Love, Joy, and Freedom.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships⬆️ Try it out for free for one month!

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything “right” as a parent, yet connection still feels harder than it should? You're showing up, staying patient, trying your best… and something still feels off.In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson explores a truth most parenting advice misses: your child experiences your nervous system before they experience your words. Long before kids understand logic or explanations, they feel your tone, pace, breath, and tension. That nervous system state becomes the environment they live inside.Leah unpacks how well-intentioned parents often slip into over-functioning, why meltdowns register as danger in the body, and how trying harder can actually make things worse. You'll learn why regulation, not perfection, is what builds resilience and how regulating yourself first creates the safety your child needs to settle and grow.We'll explore:Why children feel your nervous system before your intentionsHow tension, urgency, and “holding it together” shape your child's experienceThe difference between regulation and over-functioningWhy meltdowns trigger your nervous system as dangerHow resilience is built through shared regulation, not fixing feelingsWhat repair really looks like after moments of disconnectionLINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

You can find Jessica Walker on IG @hellojessicawalker   In this week's episode, we're talking to debut novelist and assistant professor of fine arts at Parsons School of Design Jessica Walker, whose novel Amy discovered late last year. The Secret Astronomers is an illustrated novel, which is not the same as a graphic novel.  This is a novel that is written on sticky notes between two people inside a book.  It's in full color and really eye-catching. Although it is technically geared towards young adults, it is a feast for the eyes for any age reader.  The story is about two girls who keep their identities secret from each other and converse through an old astronomy textbook in the school library. This new take on the epistolary novel takes the reader on an adventure to solve a mystery in this small West Virginia town.     And in our book rec section, inspired by the West Virginia setting of The Secret Astronomers, we're giving you other books set in The Mountain State. We have a mystery, a Pulitzer Prize winner, several historical fiction, and an investigative nonfiction.   Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- The Secret Astronomers by Jessica Walker  2- I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak  3- Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe by Preston Norton  4- Floreana by Midge Raymond  5- What You are Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte  6- Yellow Singing Sail: A Memoir of an Only Child in China by Yinfan Huang  7- Otto: A Palindrama by Jon Agee  8- Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Address Book by Nick Bantok  9- My Father's Paradise: A Son's Search for a Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq by Ariel Sabar 10- The Doorman by Chris Pavone 11- A Five Star Read by Fellow Book Lover Karla @karla_bookishlife - Blood Like Ours and Blood Like Mine by Stuart Neville 12- The Road to Blair Mountain by Charles Keeney 13- The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer 14- The Unquiet Grave by Sharyn McCrumb 15- Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips 16- The Quiet Zone: Unraveling the Mystery of a Town Suspended in Silence by Stephen Kurczy 17- The Third Rainbow Girl by Emma Copley Eisenberg 18- Foote: A Mystery Novel by Tom Bredehoft 19- The Coffin Quilt: The Feud Between the Hatfields and McCoys by Ann Rinaldi 20- The Grand Design by Joy Calloway   Media Mentioned: 1- Footnotes and Tangents Substack - War and Peace 2- Eden (Netflix, 2024) 3- Our episode with Meg Shaffer - https://ThePerksofBeingaBookLover.podbean.com/e/s12ep249-the-lost-story-with-guest-meg-shaffer-11525/ 4- Article about Reading Resetting the Nervous System - https://www.hellomagazine.com/healthandbeauty/health-and-fitness/873671/why-reading-cures-overactive-nervous-system-experts-explain/    

As I think about 2026, I've realized that for the first time ever, I'm not craving more ambition, more structure, or more systems. I'm craving less, and I want to create more peace and calm in my daily life. In this episode, I'm sharing why regulating my nervous system has become one of my biggest personal goals this year, and how I'm intentionally becoming more analog to support that. We talk about overstimulation, doom scrolling, decision fatigue, and how constant input has quietly become normalized in our lives. I walk through the practical shifts I'm making - from using paper instead of apps, reading physical books, sitting in silence, reducing phone time, and creating calmer mornings and evenings - along with the mental patterns I'm unlearning around productivity, stimulation, and burnout. This is a grounded, honest conversation about slowing down, reducing noise, and creating space to actually feel calm again.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/BREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

Why does “New Year, New You” feel so motivating… and then fall apart just weeks later? In this episode, we explore why New Year's resolutions often backfire—not because you lack discipline or willpower, but because they ask your nervous system to do something it's biologically wired to resist. Through a nervous-system and mental-health lens, we unpack why massive change feels threatening, how winter is a season of rest (not reinvention), and what a more sustainable, regulated approach to the new year actually looks like. This is an invitation to move away from pressure and performance—and toward safety, support, and gentle, lasting change.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why your nervous system resists big, fast change—and why that resistance is protection, not self-sabotageHow “New Year, New You” puts your body into threat mode and leads to burnout, not transformationWhy January is biologically a season for rest and reflection—not aggressive goal-settingThe four phases of the Resolution Crash: Mobilization, Sustainable Burn, the Crash, and the Shame SpiralHow to use "laughably small" habits to bypass your internal alarm system and create lasting change3 Takeaways:Resistance Is Protection When your nervous system pushes back against change, it's not because you're broken—it's because your body equates familiarity with safety. Change requires resourcing, not force.Winter Is Not a Growth Season Nature rests in winter, and so do we. Trying to overhaul your life in January asks your body to act like it's spring—when it's wired for conservation, reflection, and repair.Measure Regulation, Not Performance Lasting change doesn't come from dramatic overhauls. It comes from tiny additions, moments of safety, and choosing regulation over all-or-nothing goals.—Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

The Day My Nervous System Chose Violence (Internally) Patricia Young (she/her) explores what happens when big feelings meet medication changes, OCD spirals, and unmet needs. Through a vulnerable personal story about adjusting OCD medication, asking for support, and reacting more intensely than expected, Patricia reflects on autism, relational OCD, RSD, and trauma responses. She also discusses how to hold grief and joy at the same time, how to create meaning when life is profoundly unfair, and why it's okay to share joy without making yourself smaller. This episode is a compassionate reminder that awareness, baseline tracking, and self-permission are key tools for sensitive and neurodivergent people navigating relationships, mental health, and change. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Big reactions aren't character flaws — they're often signals, especially for autistic and OCD brains · Medication changes can remove protective buffers, even when life circumstances are stable · Asking for what you want can activate PDA, RSD, and old relational wounds · OCD often pulls in "evidence" and tallying to justify emotional pain · Feeling justified doesn't mean the story is accurate — it means the feelings are loud · You can manage your behavior externally while still experiencing internal emotional chaos · Walking, movement, and problem-solving can help — but they don't erase vulnerability · A "hard day" doesn't mean failure — it means data · Knowing your emotional baseline is critical when adjusting meds · It's okay to decide that you don't want more days like that · You don't have to accept injustice to learn how to live alongside it · Two truths can exist at the same time: devastation and joy · Therapy and coaching work best when clients feel safe giving feedback · Neurodivergent-affirming practitioners change the entire therapeutic experience · You don't have to make yourself small to protect others from discomfort SOUND BITES   · "It wasn't about the coffee — it was about how big everything felt in my body." · "The bigger my feelings got, the more justification my brain wanted." · "This hasn't been my baseline — and that matters." · "I don't think this is something you ever 'accept,' but you can still create meaning." · "I don't want to live a life where I write people off when I'm overwhelmed."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. CHAPTERS (PLEASE ALLOW FOR ADDITION OF INTRO) 00:00 Navigating Big Feelings and Reactions 21:13 Creating Meaning Amidst Unfairness 34:21 Embracing Joy and New Experiences PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

It's not just bad apps or lack of flashy photos — the real challenge of gay dating is that many men carry early-life conditioning around intimacy, rejection, and safety, which makes closeness feel threatening.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeWhat does it look like to navigate mental health struggles while living out your faith?It's a question many of us carry—sometimes silently. And it's one I was honored to explore in this week's conversation with Carla Arges.Carla's story isn't neat or easy. She experienced childhood trauma, homelessness at 14, misdiagnoses for years, and eventually received an accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder just six years ago.But here's what moved me most: Carla talks about thriving, not just surviving. And she does it in a way that's gentle, honest, and deeply rooted in partnership with the Holy Spirit.Carla Arges is a mental health coach, podcaster, and writer who helps Christian women navigate trauma and mental illness with grace and truth. After experiencing childhood trauma, homelessness, and a journey through misdiagnoses, Carla was accurately diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder six years ago. Through partnering with the Holy Spirit, therapy, medication, and holistic healing practices, she has moved from surviving to thriving—and now equips other women to do the same.Carla is the host of the Affirming Truth podcast and a content writer for the Bible app, where she creates bite-sized, accessible devotionals for women struggling with mental health. She offers courses on nervous system regulation and biblically based boundaries, and provides one-on-one coaching to help women integrate faith, healing, and practical tools for everyday thriving.In our conversation, you'll hear:Why a diagnosis is information, not identityThe role of medication and therapy in faith-based healingHow to regulate your nervous system in practical waysWhy thriving isn't about living on the mountaintop all the timeHow God doesn't waste our pain—He redeems it for purposeConnect with Carla:Website: carlaArges.comPodcast: Affirming Truth (available on all podcast platforms and YouTube)Bible App: Search for plans by Carla ArgesLearn More about Moving Forward TogetherApply by January 23 My latest recommended ways to nourish and move your body, mind and spirit: Nourished Notes Bi-Weekly Newsletter Be Strong and Vibrant!

Send us a textHave you ever felt the weight of a career transition and wondered if you were falling behind?On this episode of the Unarmored Talk Podcast, I share a different perspective: when transition feels heavy, it's not failure—it's awareness. It's your nervous system paying attention because the moment matters.I walk through three practical pro tips for navigating career change, job transitions, and identity shifts—especially for professionals, service members, and veterans. The focus is simple: move from pressure to progress without losing who you are.I explain why fear isn't weakness but information, why your value extends beyond titles and income, and why you don't need a life plan—just the next right step. Small, consistent actions build momentum, reduce stress, and restore clarity.Key TakeawaysFeeling heavy doesn't mean you're behind—it means you careYour identity is bigger than your titleCalm comes from action, not clarity
