Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode? In this episode, we explore how to support your nervous system through small, science-backed practices I call “micro-doses of safety.”
You’ll learn:
• What stress really is—and how it impacts your hormones, brain, and body
• Why your nervous system operates like a bank account (and what happens when it’s overdrawn)
• 5 simple practices you can use today to regulate and replenish
• The role of cortisol, vagal tone, and sensory pathways in healing
• Why stepping away from the grind is essential for nervous system health
I also share about Somatic Waves, my upcoming training retreat in Costa Rica where we explore the art and science of embodied healing. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, coach, or simply on your own healing journey—you can apply now at elaineclark.ca.
Let this episode be your reminder: regulation doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Small steps can shift your state—and your life.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
