The Nervous System Is Not a Machine—It is a Mythic Weaver
In this episode, Dr Rachel Taylor—sanctuary architect, relational cartographer, and neurosorcerer—invites us into a fascia-safe reframe of the nervous system. Far beyond biology, the nervous system is a sacred web of light and listening. It is the body’s mythic whisperer, attuning to breath, rupture, and relational rhythm.
Rachel explores how neuroscience and somatic therapy converge to reveal the nervous system’s relational intelligence, emotional memory, and capacity for restoration. She names the nervous system not as a battlefield, but as a sanctuary—one that unfolds when held with care.
This episode honours the nervous system’s adaptability, its fascia-deep wisdom, and its role as the architecture of presence. It’s a call to dignify rhythm, refuse pathologisation, and ritualise the unfolding of emotional coherence.
Let us honour the nervous system not as reactive, but as relational.
Not as broken, but as saturated.
Let us ritualise its unfolding as sacred.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
