In this episode, we break down the most foundational practice in our entire framework, and answer the question almost every client starts with:
“I know I need nervous system regulation… but how the fuck do I actually do that with the life I have?!”
We talk about why NSR is not just for the meltdown moments, how it quietly transforms your relationship with productivity, parenting, partnerships, and purpose, and how Brandon went from never regulating to knowing with full-body certainty that he’ll never drink again.
We touch on:
-
Why 30–60 seconds of nervous system regulation might be more life-changing than 30 minutes
-
What happened when Brandon finally felt his feelings, after 18 years of numbing
-
The trap of “doing it right” and how it keeps perfectionists stuck
-
Four micro NSR techniques you can do literally anywhere (yes, even in a meeting)
-
Why consistency isn’t the goal, capacity is
-
What two clients in totally different life stages (30 and 60) had in common with burnout, dread, and the exact same NSR win after 4 weeks
Plus, we unpack the real reason so many smart, high-achieving people don’t start NSR (hint: if you’ve ever said “I don’t need it right now,” this one’s for you).
Whether you’re bedbound like Tasha was, burnt out like Jane was, or just stuck in the doom-scroll loop like Della, we’ve got you.
