Ever wonder why you feel anxious, shut down, or overwhelmed out of nowhere? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between your emotions and your nervous system—your body’s built-in stress and safety response system. You'll learn how your nervous system responds to life experiences and how that response shapes your feelings. We’ll also share practical tools to help you regulate your body, calm your mind, and feel more in control. Emotional healing starts here—with awareness and understanding.
