Fight, Flight, Rest: Getting Stuck in Stress

What if asking for help is the one thing you’ve been avoiding that could change everything?

Reset Month 5: HAPPINESS

This month, we dive deep into a powerful and often overlooked tool for healing: asking for help. In this episode of Reset Month, Nadia and Katia, renowned for their work on nervous system regulation and self-care, share how the simple act of vulnerability can be life-changing.

Many of us are stuck in “fight or flight,” constantly feeling like we’re running on empty and unable to truly connect with ourselves or others. Nadia and Katia explain why you are not broken, you just need to learn how to reset your nervous system, and that starts by letting go of the need to do it all alone.

Through personal stories, including their journey to self-awareness and the profound lessons learned from their own relationship dynamics, they reveal how co-regulation, the act of supporting and being supported by others, can bring us back to a place of safety, connection, and peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- How to recognise the signs of an overwhelmed nervous system

- Why asking for help is the first step to healing

- The surprising benefits of co-regulation and how it transforms your relationships

- How to embrace vulnerability without fear or guilt

- The simple daily practices that reset your nervous system and bring you back to balance

- How tiny moments can change your life

Whether you’re dealing with stress, emotional overwhelm, or simply want to live a more connected and fulfilling life, this episode will guide you to a path of self-compassion and mutual support. Nadia and Katia’s insights are a must-watch for anyone wanting to break free from constant tension and start living with ease and love again.
