In this episode of the Let’s Get Vulnerable podcast, I answer your questions about nervous system regulation—and share what actually helps when you’ve been stuck in a dysregulated state for years. This is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected—and wants to heal.

I talk about how prevention is the most underrated tool in nervous system healing—things like sleep, movement, and meaningful connection matter more than you think.
I explain what nervous system debt is, and how years of neglect can catch up with you—and what you can do to gently start the healing process today.
I walk you through how I regulate my own nervous system daily and why your morning routine might be the most powerful thing you can change.
