This episode is brought to you by Caldera Lab and WHOOP. Today we sit down with interior designer, TV host, and wellness advocate Sabrina Soto to explore how our homes profoundly shape our mental health, nervous system, relationships, and sense of identity. Sabrina shares her deeply personal journey—from growing up in chaos and creating a safe haven as a teenager, to landing her first HGTV role through a Craigslist ad—and explains why design isn't about trends or perfection, but alignment. This episode explores the emotional weight of clutter, how environment influences cortisol and stress, why small changes can create massive life shifts, and how designing your space is ultimately about designing the life you want to live—one intentional step forward at a time.

The new year began with a successful U.S. military operation to capture Venezuela's president. But the mission killed approximately 80 people and is being condemned by some American and international leaders as illegal. Esau McCaulley joins Phil and Skye this week to discuss the fallout from the operation. Was it legal? Was it moral? And what does it reveal about Trump's vision of America? Kaitlyn talks with author Sara Billups about her new book, "Nervous System," and how our age of anxiety is affecting Christians and the whole church. Also this week—the Trump administration celebrated the holidays with Christian memes, festive taunts, and "Ice Ice Baby."

Has the shaking of the world left you feeling paralyzed or unsure of how to step forward? Are you looking for a safe harbor in the midst of the "Venezuela events" and global instability? What if the chaos around you is actually an invitation to create an unshakeable sanctuary within you? In this urgent and deeply healing transmission, Michael Sandler shares a powerful nervous system reset designed for right now. Following the recent events that have shaken many to the core, Michael channels Archangel Michael to deliver a message of safety, grounding, and empowerment. This isn't just about surviving the news cycle; it is about finding your footing when the ground feels like it is moving. Michael explains why 2026 is the "Sanctuary Year", how to move from a "lizard brain" reaction to a heart-centered power, and provides specific, real-time energetic clearings to remove the ancestral fears of war and chaos from your field. Key Topics: The "Sanctuary Year": Why Archangel Michael is relabeling 2026 as a year of safety and haven, despite the external "quickening." Turtle Breathing: A specific breathing technique ("Tai Chi" style) to immediately slow down a racing mind and find peace. A powerful grounding method to root yourself into the earth when you feel "spun" by world events. Why asking "How's the weather?" no longer serves us, and the brave question you must ask instead: "How is your soul doing?" The science behind why chanting "OM" can double your cell membrane's water-holding capacity and instantly switch off the fight-or-flight response. The "Bunny" Strategy: Why looking at "cute and fuzzy" things (like Rabbit Island in Japan!) is legitimate medicine for a fried nervous system. This episode is a balm for your spirit. If you have been holding your breath waiting for the next shoe to drop, this message will help you exhale, remember your power, and realize that your calm is not passive; it is powerful. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

The Holidays: A Group Project My Nervous System Didn't Agree To In this New Year's episode, Patricia Young (she/her) explores why the holiday season can be especially challenging for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD nervous systems. Through personal stories about gift giving, overstimulation, masking, PDA, rejection sensitivity, and the need for sameness and predictability, she unpacks how small changes and social expectations can quietly dysregulate neurodivergent people. The episode also includes updates on her purple hair and tattoo, reflections on attunement and fairness, and a gentle alternative to New Year's resolutions—offering practical categories for reflection that center self-compassion, regulation, and realistic support. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why holidays are uniquely overstimulating for neurodivergent nervous systems · How transitions, visitors, and disrupted routines impact regulation · The role of predictability, sameness, and visual memory in autistic well-being · Why gift giving can activate PDA, executive dysfunction, and shame · How attunement in gift giving can feel deeply regulating—and deeply stressful · The pressure to perform gratitude and enthusiasm while masking discomfort · Why opening gifts in front of others can be overwhelming for autistic adults · How fairness, justice sensitivity, and reciprocity complicate holiday dynamics · The emotional labor involved in "doing it right" socially · How body doubling supports assertiveness and nervous system regulation · Why small environmental changes can create disproportionate stress · The difference between order as regulation versus control · How animals, sensory joy, and flexibility can increase tolerance for chaos · Reflections on regret, learning, and doing things differently over time · Why curiosity and problem-solving are often misunderstood in autistic communication · How rejection sensitivity and object permanence affect relationships · A compassionate alternative to New Year's resolutions · Reflective life categories including health, finances, relationships, self-care, creativity, home, and novelty · Why survival mode is sometimes the only valid goal · A reminder that sensitivity is wiring—not a flaw SOUND BITES · "Our nervous systems really do best with sameness, repetition, and predictability." · "Masking is all about making other people feel comfortable—and that's a lot of work." · "Regret doesn't mean you did something wrong. It means you're learning." · "You have a right to be regulated, dysregulated, organized, disorganized, content, or discontent." 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 Holiday Challenges 10:06 The Complexity of Gift Giving 20:39 Reflections on Relationships and Expectations 29:26 Looking Ahead: New Year Reflections 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.

This anchoring practice is about creating a daily habit of tuning into your nervous system with curiosity.A few years ago, one of my mentors shared something that has stayed with me. You don't want to attune to your nervous system only when life gets hard or everything feels like it's falling apart. You want nervous system hygiene. A daily relationship. A practice of checking in before you're overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted. So that when life does get hard, you don't find yourself upside down and completely shaken.Because this is how we change generational patterns.Not in the hot moments of crisis.Crisis will happen. Life will inevitably get hard but this is not the time to try to figure out your nervous system. You don't learn how to anchor a boat for the first time in the middle of a storm. When you've practiced anchoring in calm waters, you intuitively know how to respond when things get rough.It's pretty easy to move through life when things are going well. When our health feels stable, our kids are okay, our relationships feel calm, and life isn't asking too much of us.Our strength isn't tested when life is easy. It's tested when something feels uncertain. When a symptom shows up. When a child is struggling. When we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying more than we know what to do with.And in those moments, most of us instinctively look outward for support. For answers. For something to fix or soothe what we're feeling.But one of the most powerful shifts we can make is realizing that the greatest support isn't external. It's internal.It's the relationship you have with your own body. It's whether you know how to check in. It's whether you can notice what's happening inside of you before you're pushed into reaction.This is what we are doing in this practice.Just learning how to be with yourself, consistently, so that when life gets hard, you know how to loving sit with yourself and respond with confidence instead of reacting with fear.This practice is about connecting your own dots and getting curious about how your system speaks.Thanks for listening!

What if this life after divorce never gets better?What if this is just how it is now?What he ruined everything? What if I can't be healed?If those thoughts have been looping in your mind after divorce, this episode is for you.In the Season 5 premiere of Dear Divorce Diary, we're opening a powerful six-week series devoted to naming the thing under the thing—the deeper, often invisible forces that keep women stuck in anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion after divorce.And today, we begin with one of the scariest experiences of all:the fear that the way you feel right now is permanent.Here's what most of us have never realized:Those thoughts aren't coming from weakness or fear.They're coming from a nervous system trying its best to keep you afloat while you're completely collapsed.In this episode, we're not fixing anxiety—we're explaining it.Because understanding what your body is doing is often the first moment it finally exhales.In this episode, we explore:Why divorce anxiety often intensifies after the divorce is finalThe difference between panic… and the deeper fear of permanenceHow anxiety gets mistaken for identity—and why that mattersWhat happens when trust has been wounded by loss, betrayal, or overwhelmWhy solutions often arrive from places you never could have predictedHow protective, pessimistic parts can reject help—and how to soften that patternYou'll also hear personal stories from Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini about moments when they couldn't see a way forward—until something unexpected showed up and changed everything.And at the end of the episode, we debut a new community segment: ✨ Small Wins, Big Shifts ✨ where we share listener-submitted moments that prove healing after divorce doesn't have to be dramatic to be real.If you've been afraid that this feeling will never end… If you've wondered whether you'll ever trust yourself—or life—again… Let this episode remind you:Nothing you're feeling means you're broken. It means your system learned how to survive.And survival is not the end of the story.

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company and Fatty15. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, performance coach Natalie Hummel reframes what it truly means to be a high performer—arguing that excellence isn't built through discipline, talent, or mindset alone, but through nervous system mastery. Natalie explains how fear, pressure, and self-sabotage are not problems to eliminate but sensations to build capacity for, and why separating sensation from story is the key to performing with ease under stress.

I'm Gina Ryan, and I reflect on my personal journey as I navigate my first winter in Central New York after spending over two decades in the perpetual warmth of Hawaii. Moving from the lush, vibrant landscapes of Hawaii to the cold and snowy winters of New York has been a challenging yet transformative experience for me, sparking insights on the health benefits that winter can offer our nervous systems and mental health.I begin by discussing how the cold weather presents a mild, steady stressor that can unintentionally bolster our nervous systems. Each encounter with the cold, from the first sharp breath of freezing air to the challenges of navigating snow-covered pathways, acts as a form of natural exposure therapy. Instead of succumbing to panic, we are encouraged to build resilience and presence, fostering a sense of calm amid discomfort. This winter, rather than viewing the season as something to endure, I invite listeners to consider how it can teach us tolerance and mental strength, emphasizing compassion for ourselves as we adapt to environmental challenges.Moreover, winter grants us permission to embrace rest and reflection. I observe how nature instinctively slows down during this season, from the hibernation of wildlife to the way the trees withdraw. This natural pause offers us the rare opportunity to step back from our relentless productivity and find restoration in stillness. I share my own experience of improved sleep rhythms and a deeper emotional processing that arises when life becomes less hectic. In a world that often glorifies busyness, winter stands as a testament to the power of slowness and presence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
I wanted to approach the transition into a new year differently. For the past couple of years, I felt like it was more somatically aligned to explore a feeling word for the year rather than resolutions. This feeling word could then be a guiding light throughout the year toward actions or food or environments or hobbies that support you in feeling the way you want to feel. But, I decided to move away from that this year because I sensed it could be used as another way to disembody and to try to force the body into a state or way of being that is mentally desired but not actually what the body wants or needs. So, I'm moving in a different somatic direction this year.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: The history of a New Year What it means to live somaticallyWhat this looks like as an ongoing practice And how this could all lead to decreasing food behaviors and increasing the creation of living the life you want to be livingYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-death-of-new-years-resolutionsI'm excited to explore somatics, trauma, and nutrition more with you over this next year and one exciting piece of news is that the Satiated Podcast has been chosen as one of the Top 40 Women In Food Podcasts by FeedSpot.

In this episode, I unravel how to extend connection to our children while acknowledging that some might see this connection as a threat. I offer insights on toning down the demand for connection, enabling our children to relax in it, and thereby strengthen their stress response system. I also reference the previous episodes in this four-part series by talking about the science of opposition, some practical strategies, and tackling kids stuck in protection mode, all with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of making connection a safe experience.In this episode you'll learn:That providing too much connection can often be overwhelming and feel more like danger than connectionTo titrate connection and supply only as much as the child needs or wantsShowing your child you think of them when are not together like buying their favorite snack, titrates connection by showing that you are thinking of them and you see themResources mentioned in this podcast:Exploring Low Demand Parenting: Shifting Power Dynamics And Nurturing Trust {EP 142}Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/oppositional4We're kicking off 2026 with a LIVE webinar- Creating Felt Safety!

In this episode, Liv breaks down the three nervous system upgrades required to get everything you desire this year and actually sustain it.You can set goals, build vision boards, and follow the right strategies, but if your nervous system is not on board, none of it sticks. The nervous system always wins. This conversation explains why effort alone is not the problem and what has to shift internally for expansion to feel easeful instead of volatile. Inside this episode:
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we are rebroadcasting one of my all time favorite episodes. I got to sit down with someone I deeply admire, Dr. Stuart Shanker. His book Self-Reg was a game changer for me when I was teaching infants and toddlers, and honestly, it shaped so much of how I approach emotional development today.In this episode, we talk about what self-regulation really means, how it differs from self-control, and why so many behaviors we label as “bad” are actually stress responses. Stuart shares powerful stories and practical insights, from what's going on in a newborn's nervous system to what to do when your teenager melts down over the wrong hoodie.We explore the idea that all behavior is communication, how adults can become “stress detectives,” and why regulating ourselves is the first step in helping kids thrive. This conversation is packed with gems, and I'm so thrilled to share it with you.Alright folks, Let's dive in.

Who dropped into 2026 with renewed creative energy? Sit with this question: What does it actually take for a creative nervous system to feel safe enough to create? So many sensitive, intuitive, imaginative people carry so much potential and yet feel stuck, scattered, or quietly overwhelmed. In a world that rewards urgency, productivity, and performance, creativity often becomes something we push instead of something we EMBODY. You feel me? This episode is an invitation to return to that truth: to explore how your nervous system shapes your creativity, your energy, and your ability to move forward without forcing. ▲ DAYDREAMER ARCHETYPE QUIZ: https://alwaysplay.org/dreamer ▲ DAYDREAMER PORTAL: https://alwaysplay.org/daydreamer ▲ Free Healing Arts Community: https://tinyurl.com/playground222 ▲ MYSTIC CODES MASTERMIND waitlist: https://www.alwaysplay.org/mystic ▲ Become a certified breathwork facilitator: https://www.flowbreathworktraining.com/ ▲ Read my Breathwork book, Breathe: www.alwaysplay.org/orderbreathe ▲ Connect on social: @shanila.sattar

Dr. Lara Briden challenges everything you think you know about metabolism, revealing why energy—not weight—is the true marker of metabolic health. This conversation explores how modern life has pushed our physiology into states it was never designed for, and offers a compassionate, science-based approach to understanding your body as a logical system rather than a problem to fix.GUEST INFORMATION:Name: Dr. Lara BridenTitle/Credentials: Naturopathic doctor, author, former evolutionary biology researcher Background: Has peer-reviewed publications and thesis in evolutionary biology, specializes in women's health with focus on centering female physiology as normal mammalian function EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Evolutionary Biology FrameworkDr. Briden explains how her background in evolutionary biology informs her medical practice, viewing women's bodies as logical systems that make biological sense Menopause as Evolutionary AdvantageDiscussion of how menopause evolved as a survival advantage, with post-reproductive women being essential for family group survival Debunking the Willpower MythChallenges the narrative that metabolic issues are about eating too much and exercising too little The Asthma AnalogyExplains why telling people to "just lose weight" is like telling someone with asthma to "just breathe better" Environmental FactorsDetails how environmental toxins, gut microbiome changes, and epigenetics contribute to metabolic dysfunction across species and generations Energy as Metabolic MarkerExplains metabolic flexibility and how the body should preferentially burn fat in fasting states Blood Sugar CrashesDiscusses how insulin resistance often presents as reactive hypoglycemia rather than high blood sugar Seed Oils DiscussionDr. Briden shares her perspective on high-dose omega-6 oils as metabolically problematic signaling molecules Nervous System and MetabolismExplores how the autonomic nervous system significantly impacts insulin sensitivity and metabolic rate Key Metabolic NutrientsDiscuss essential nutrients for metabolic health: magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine, historically obtained from organ meats Mitochondria as MastersFascinating discussion of mitochondria as dynamic cellular powerhouses affected by emotions and social activity Lab Testing SimplifiedProvides practical lab markers for insulin resistance: ALT levels, ALT to AST ratio, and triglycerides RESOURCES MENTIONED:Metabolism Repair For Women, by Dr. BridenPeriod Repair Manual (previous book) Potential upcoming cookbook collaboration KEY TAKEAWAYS:Metabolism problems often come before weight gain, not after—it's about insulin resistance first Energy levels and satiety between meals are better indicators of metabolic health than body weight Environmental factors including toxins, processed oils, and gut dysfunction are major contributors to metabolic issues The body has a complex system that can't be micromanaged—focus on removing obstacles and supporting overall health Simple lab tests (ALT, triglycerides) can reveal insulin resistance more effectively than complex testing Website: https://www.larabriden.com/CALL TO ACTION:Subscribe to the One Thing Podcast for more conversations that challenge conventional health wisdom and center biology over blame.

Your gut's nervous system directly influences whether you tolerate foods or react to them, making it a key factor in food sensitivities and allergy risk A tiny nerve messenger called the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) tells your gut stem cells how to rebuild the intestinal lining; when VIP drops, your gut produces too many tuft cells that trigger allergy like inflammation Everyday exposures — like microplastics, seed oils, and emulsifiers found in processed foods — damage tight junction proteins, weaken your gut barrier, and increase the flow of irritants into your bloodstream Low vitamin D, disrupted sleep, and high stress interfere with your gut's ability to maintain barrier integrity and calm immune activity, raising your vulnerability to allergic reactions You can lower your allergy risk by supporting mitochondrial function, removing gut damaging triggers, restoring healthy carbs in the right order, and improving the nerve-gut connection that regulates intestinal healing
Podcast Show Notes | Christian Wellness & Stress Recovery Introduction Do you feel constantly stressed, wired, tired, or unable to truly rest — even when you slow down? In this episode, Alexandra shares a faith-fueled, holistic approach to stress recovery and explains why many women never fully recover from stress in the first place. We rush, suppress emotions, push through exhaustion, and repeat the cycle day after day — leaving our bodies stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This episode is for Christian women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, chronically stressed, or physically depleted and want a biblical, body-wise way to restore calm, energy, and clarity — without relying on numbing distractions or unhealthy coping mechanisms. You'll learn: Why stress recovery matters just as much as stress management How movement and focused activities help your body exit fight-or-flight What God's design for stress, rest, and healing really looks like Practical, natural ways to help your nervous system reset Why We Don't Recover From Stress (And Why It Matters) Many women experience stress all day long — at work, at home, in relationships — but never give their body permission to release it. When stress is left unresolved: The nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight Digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation suffer Fatigue, anxiety, and chronic symptoms begin to appear God designed the body to be resilient — but not to stay in survival mode forever. How Focused Movement Helps the Body Release Stress Alexandra shares a personal story about noticing stress symptoms (like eye twitching) disappear after activities like martial arts training, even when she didn't feel excited about going beforehand. Why does this work? Certain activities: Force your brain into the present moment Activate stress briefly, then allow it to fully resolve Signal safety to the nervous system after the activity ends This “closed stress loop” allows the body to finally relax. The Science Behind Stress Relief and the Nervous System Focused, structured activities such as: Martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai) Partner dancing Rock climbing Playing musical instruments Chess or strategic games Escape rooms …can help: Improve focus, attention, and executive function Elevate mood and endorphins Reduce anxiety Support emotional release (yes, even crying afterward) These activities don't allow rumination — the brain must stay present. Why Scrolling and Numbing Don't Heal Stress Many people cope with stress by: Excessive social media scrolling Alcohol or other numbing behaviors Avoidance instead of release These habits do not complete the stress cycle — they only delay healing. True recovery requires helping the body recognize safety again. Biblical Perspective: Fight-or-Flight, Rest, and God's Design Alexandra reflects on how fight-or-flight became necessary after sin entered the world, but it was never meant to dominate our lives. Jesus invites us into rest: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 The goal isn't to eliminate stress entirely — it's to move out of survival mode and back into rest and trust. You're Not Too Old to Heal or Try Something New One of the biggest lies women believe: “I'm too old to start something new.” The body is adaptable. Strength, coordination, and resilience can be rebuilt at any age. Ask yourself: What did I love doing when I was younger? What challenges my brain and body in a healthy way? What helps me feel calm, grounded, and alive afterward? Healing often begins with movement, curiosity, and courage. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Why most women never recover from stress 01:05 – Stress symptoms showing up in daily life 02:28 – Why focused movement changes the brain 03:20 – Mental and emotional benefits of martial arts 05:44 – Fight-or-flight vs. stress release 06:42 – Why structured dancing works similarly 09:35 – Emotional release and nervous system safety 12:01 – Non-movement stress relief options 14:28 – Biblical reflection on stress and survival 15:55 – Numbing doesn't heal 16:24 – You're not too old to start again 18:18 – Encouragement to find your path to recovery Key Takeaways Stress recovery is just as important as stress management The body needs signals of safety to heal Focused activities help close the stress loop Healing doesn't require perfection — just intention God cares about your rest, not just your productivity Ready for Clarity and Support? If you're unsure what your body needs right now and want faith-centered guidance without overwhelm, you can learn more about Health Clarity Sessions.

Welcome back to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, where today's empowering episode asks a transformative question: Can You Rewire a Dysregulated Nervous System? Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. Cat King, founder of Primal Trust™ Academy and a leading educator in nervous system healing, brain retraining, vagus nerve toning, and trauma-informed somatic practices. In this heartfelt and science-driven conversation, Dr. Cat explains why safety is the foundation of all healing—and why no protocol, supplement, or therapy can work when the body feels threatened. She shares how cultivating genuine safety, both internally and within therapeutic relationships, can shift the autonomic nervous system out of fear and into healing mode.

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Morgana Lakatos Hayward discuss the complexities of perimenopause and menopause, focusing on the hormonal changes that affect women's health, weight loss, and overall well-being. They explore the inadequacies of traditional dieting methods, the importance of understanding women's unique biological needs, and the role of stress and nervous system regulation in health. The discussion also covers the significance of intuitive eating, self-trust, and the challenges faced by women in the sandwich generation. Morgana shares insights from her 60-Day Shed program, emphasizing a holistic approach to health and wellness. Takeaways Many traditional weight loss methods are based on male biology. Cortisol spikes can lead to hormonal imbalances and weight gain. Fasting may not be suitable for all women, especially during hormonal fluctuations. Chronic dieting can lead to a negative relationship with food. Nervous system regulation is crucial for managing stress and health. Building self-trust is essential for successful intuitive eating. Women in the sandwich generation face unique stressors and challenges. Perimenopause can be reframed as a positive transition phase. HRT and supplements should complement a solid lifestyle foundation. Creating a sustainable lifestyle involves understanding individual needs and preferences.

You can have the most mind-blowing healing experience of your life and still find yourself right back in familiar patterns. Why? Because the nervous system defaults to what it knows. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why insight alone does not create lasting change and why the most intense healing experiences do not start in the mind, they start in the body. Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof, founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification, and Jennifer Wallace, Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, unpack peak somatic experiences through a trauma-informed lens. Together, they examine how experiences like breathwork, somatic practices, and psychedelics interact with neuroplasticity, interoception, and complex trauma. They also name an often-missing piece of the conversation: these experiences are not inherently healing without preparation, capacity, and integration. This episode offers a grounded, nuanced discussion of why peak somatic experiences can be both transformative and destabilizing, especially for nervous systems shaped by chronic stress, dissociation, or developmental trauma. Rather than promoting quick fixes or heroic doses, Elisabeth and Jennifer emphasize nervous system safety, minimum effective dose, and relational support as essential ingredients for real, embodied change. Timestamps: 00:00 – Why insight alone does not create change 05:40 – What peak somatic experiences are and are not 14:20 – Neuroplasticity, psychedelics, and the default mode network 28:10 – Somatic memory, dissociation, and complex trauma 44:30 – Why preparation and integration matter more than the experience itself 58:45 – Risks, discernment, and trauma-informed support 1:12:30 – Capacity building and minimum effective dose 1:24:00 – Integration, regulation, and long-term nervous system change Key Takeaways: Peak somatic experiences amplify existing nervous system patterns rather than replacing them. Neuroplasticity is neutral and requires direction, support, and integration. Somatic memory often surfaces without narrative recall, especially in complex trauma. Preparation and capacity determine whether an experience is healing or destabilizing. Lasting change happens through consistent, embodied integration, not one-time breakthroughs.

Glennon sits down with artist and healer Eset Rose for a grounding, soul-stirring conversation – live from the Kripalu Center in Massachusetts – about what it really means to stop abandoning ourselves. They discuss burning old scripts, reimagining relationships, claiming agency, the spiritual power of midlife and menopause, and why “enoughness” can feel terrifying when we've been raised inside capitalism. This one is for anyone craving rest, renewal, and a gentler way to begin again.
