Regulation Is the Real Flex: Leading, Living, and Thriving with a Steady Nervous System | Ep. 3

What if the key to building a meaningful, sustainable life isn’t more motivation—but a more regulated nervous system?

In this powerful episode, we dive into the real secret behind leadership, longevity, and peace: nervous system regulation. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your to-do list completely frozen, snapping at your partner, or feeling disconnected even when things “look fine”… this episode is for you.

We unpack the Polyvagal Theory in a way that’s relatable and actionable, walking you through the three core nervous system states: 🌿 Ventral Vagal (safe and social) 🔥 Sympathetic (fight or flight) 🧊 Dorsal Vagal (freeze/shut down)

You’ll learn how to spot the signs of dysregulation, stop self-sabotaging patterns, and build a daily “regulation menu” with micro-practices that actually work.

This isn’t a productivity pep talk. It’s a faith-rooted, psychology-backed guide to help you lead, love, and live with more clarity, energy, and resilience—without burning out in the process.

You’ll also hear a vulnerable story from Lacey’s own life—how she moved from burnout to alignment by choosing regulation over hustle.

💡 Plus: • Real-life cues for each nervous system state • Daily micro-practices to reconnect and reset • A journal prompt and 7-day regulation challenge • A free breathwork audio download (linked in the show notes)

Because the real flex? Isn’t just getting things done. It’s feeling safe, steady, and deeply grounded while you do it.
