EP:147 Hey there! In this episode, I'm diving deep into something that changed my life completely - the difference between external and internal regulation. Let me tell you, for years I was that person constantly seeking validation from everyone around me, putting myself last, and feeling frustrated when no one could read my mind.

I'm sharing my personal journey of how I transformed from constantly seeking external permission to becoming my own biggest supporter. We'll explore how external regulation looks like constantly waiting for your partner to notice you're exhausted, or feeling angry when your kids don't magically understand your needs. Sound familiar?

The game-changer? Learning to check in with MYSELF. What do I feel? What do I need? And most importantly, recognizing that I'm worthy of taking care of myself - not because someone else says so, but because I say so.

I'll walk you through practical steps to start your internal regulation journey, share vulnerable stories from my own life, and help you understand that you have everything you need to support your own nervous system.

Start your internal regulation journey today! Pause right now and ask yourself: "How am I feeling? What do I need?"
