If you've been feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed lately, you're not alone. I don’t know about you, but it feels like I've lived through three years' worth of challenges in just the first two months of this year. Even with ten years of energy work, coaching, therapy and somatic healing, overwhelm can still creep in.

The good news is that I've developed a strong relationship with my body; I can recognize when I'm feeling off-kilter, and use the tools in my regulation toolbox to keep my nervous system in check.

In today’s solo episode, I explore somatic healing and its connection to nervous system regulation. Understanding this relationship will help you manage feelings of overwhelm, allowing you to reconnect with your sense of self and experience more freedom within your body. I also share practical tools to calm your mind, release tension, and strengthen the mind-body connection, making your nervous system more flexible.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The science of overwhelm and it affects your nervous system.
  • How to identify the physical, emotional, and mental signs of stress before burnout occurs.
  • Somatic healing techniques to gently release tension and reconnect with your body, especially in response to the sensations that accompany overwhelm and stress.
  • A simple mindset shift to prevent anxious thoughts from spiraling.
  • The role of trauma healing methods and their relationship to nervous system regulation.
  • How to build your own regulating toolbox for daily nervous system support.
  • Seven powerful tips to enhance your mind-body connection and bring more peace into your life.

If you’ve been wondering how to alleviate feelings of overwhelm, pop in those earbuds and listen to the practical tips that will help you regulate your nervous system so you can navigate life with more ease and confidence.

Cheers to finding more freedom in your mind, body, and spirit!
