In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore how to stop a bad day from taking over — starting with the moment you notice yourself getting “crunchy.”

Georgianna shares two stories: discovering how a simple Heart 7 acupressure point helped her recover her breath and calm her system on a hot uphill bike ride, and how asking for a hug on a noisy Vancouver sidewalk shifted an entire day from irritable to connected. Steph reflects on her own history of craving anxious caretaking and how learning to receive undramatic presence has changed her relationships.

Together, they break down the skills of noticing, naming, and resetting — including how co-regulation works best when you know what’s regulating for you and your people.

Discover how:

• Noticing early “crunchy” signals can keep them from escalating

• Co-regulation can deepen connection instead of fueling drama

• Tiny tools like breath cycles or acupressure can shift your whole day
