hey, wait From Overfunctioning to Nervous System Regulation with Erin Washington | Episode #28
Do you ever feel like you're constantly running at 100 miles an hour, stuck in a state of high-functioning anxiety? You know all the "right" things to do for self-care, but you just can't seem to slow down, feel present, or access that inner wisdom. You might know what to do, but you can't actually do it.
That is exactly what today's guest, Erin Washington, has experienced. Erin is the author of From Pain to Purpose, the host of the top 1% podcast thERINpy, and the creator of the Blue Butterfly Foundation, a mentorship program for teen girls. She has navigated a decades-long struggle with perfectionism, body image, and self-worth, and publicly shares her evolution as a way of making other women feel seen and less alone.
The big hey, wait moment in this episode comes when Jay coaches Erin live on the air. Jay introduces a simple framework for understanding and regulating your nervous system, guiding Erin (and you!) from a state of anxious over-functioning to a place of calm presence in just a few minutes. It's a powerful demonstration of how you can learn to truly be with yourself, even when life feels chaotic.
In this episode, Erin talks about: ► Her journey from finding confidence through fitness to discovering her deeper purpose. ► The evolution of her identity and her brand from "Squats and Margaritas" to theERINpy. ► Navigating divorce in your 40s when you and your partner are no longer aligned. ► A live coaching session on regulating your nervous system to move from anxiety to calm. ► How to break generational cycles of body image and perfectionism.
