In a time when the world feels like it’s spinning faster and more chaotically than ever, many are silently carrying a deep, unrelenting exhaustion. Constant alerts of violence, political unrest, climate crisis, and collective grief are not just affecting our minds — they are infiltrating our bodies. In this soul-grounding episode, host Andrea Atherton sits down with somatic specialist and nervous system educator Gustavo Gil to explore why so many of us struggle to feel safe, calm, or connected, even when we’re doing “all the right things.” This is not about weakness — it’s about biology. And understanding how your nervous system reacts to global dysregulation is the first step toward reclaiming your power.
Together, Andrea and Gustavo unpack the hidden toll of high-functioning survival, the emotional loops that trap us in cycles of self-doubt and hypervigilance, and how early trauma adaptations are being reactivated by today’s unrelenting stimuli. Through personal, professional, and practical wisdom, they reveal that you can’t out-think your way to peace — you must feel your way there. This episode offers more than insight; it offers embodiment tools and real-time practices to restore your capacity to respond, rather than react, to life’s overwhelm. From titration to somatic resourcing, you'll learn how to ground yourself in a body that remembers safety.
If you’ve felt numb, flooded, shut down, or like you’re carrying the weight of the world in your chest, this conversation is your exhale. You are not broken; you are responding to a dysregulated world with a brilliantly adaptive system. Join us as we explore how regulation becomes not just personal healing, but a revolutionary act of love that allows collective transformation. 🌍💙 Ready to soften, reconnect, and harness your energy differently? Andrea invites you to DM “I AM READY” to begin your return home to yourself.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
