Get on the waitlist for Season to Shift, Whitney's signature, six-week mastermind for moms that starts September 2025.
Have you ever felt like you’re simply surviving rather than truly living? In this episode, I connect with Melissa Romano, a woman deeply passionate about helping others reclaim their sense of self and shift from feeling overwhelmed to deeply connected. Together, we explore the powerful link between the nervous system and living a balanced, intentional life.
Melissa shares how nervous system regulation can transform how we navigate stress and create meaningful change. We discuss tools like breathwork and body neutrality, diving into how these practices can bring calm, clarity, and alignment into daily life.
For parents, we also explore how co-regulation can nurture children’s emotional well-being, offering simple strategies to build connection and resilience at home.
As someone who shares Melissa’s commitment to helping others live fully, I loved exchanging insights and practical ways to help you step into more joy and connection. This conversation is an invitation to deepen your awareness and discover how tuning into your nervous system can unlock a more intentional, fulfilling life.
Here’s what you can look forward to in today’s episode:
- Understanding the nervous system
- Activation vs. dysregulation and how to identify dysregulation
- Strategies to actively heal the nervous system
- Breathwork as a tool to regulate the nervous system
- The role of body neutrality
- The importance of observing, describing, and participating in emotional experiences
Reflection question to ponder: What do I need right now from myself?
