275. It's a Scary Situation, I’m Not Okay - But Here's What I'm Doing
Manage episode 481693021 series 3474787
Right now, my husband is stuck in India during a time of political unrest. I’m navigating real fear, emotional exhaustion, and nervous system overload. I’m scared. I’m tired. And I’m trying to regulate my nervous system while living in the middle of this fear.
This episode is not pre-planned or polished—it’s real. I’m bringing you inside what I’m experiencing right now and walking you through exactly how I’m supporting my nervous system during this incredibly stressful time.
I’ll share the tools I’m using in real-time (like breathwork, EFT, and co-regulation), how I’m protecting myself from burnout, and why I’m choosing to regulate even when the fear is valid. I’ll also break down the let-down effect—what happens to your body when the stress ends but the crash begins—and how I’m working to prevent it.
This isn’t about bypassing. This is about nervous system healing in real life.
In this episode, I share:
- What’s happening in my life and why my nervous system is in overdrive
- How I’m regulating in real-time (not just teaching—living it)
- The exact tools I’m using to stay grounded
- Why nervous system care matters even when the fear is valid
- What the let-down effect is and how to protect yourself from the crash
- A reminder that simple acts—like water, sunlight, and warm food—are regulation
