Your nervous system is brilliant. It’s always working—regulating your breath, heart rate, digestion, and how safe you feel in the world. But most of us never learned how to work with it. We were taught to push through, stay calm, be normal. The result? A lifetime of coping, burnout, and bodies that feel unpredictable.
In this episode, I’m sharing a foundational truth: you’re not broken. Your nervous system has been adapting since the moment you arrived—and it’s doing exactly what it learned to do. I’ll walk you through how childhood experiences shape your wiring, why your patterns aren’t random, and what it really takes to change the way you feel.
I’ll also share the turning point in my own story—how long COVID, a neck injury, and deep personal loss helped me see what was missing in the way we think about healing.
This episode will shift the way you see yourself—and offer a new lens that just might change everything.
