329. 3 ways to regulate your nervous system when life feels messy!

As I’m recording this, we are just ten days away from Emmy’s wedding (cue all the happy tears and chaos 😅). And let’s just say… my nervous system has had a lot of practice lately staying grounded and peaceful! Between my acid peel (what was I thinking?), a full closet overhaul, rewriting our business guidebook, and even starting English horseback riding lessons — it’s been a wild couple of weeks.

But here’s what I’ve noticed: many of these things have actually been helping me regulate. They’re creative, grounding, and keep me present — and that’s what we’re talking about today: how to calm your nervous system and come back to peace, no matter what’s happening around you.

In this episode, we’ll chat about: ✨ The difference between your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems — and why it matters ✨ How your body doesn’t know the difference between being chased by a bear and getting a snarky comment from your teenager ✨ Why it’s not about never getting stressed, but learning how to come back to calm ✨ My three favorite ways to bring yourself back to peace when life feels like a lot

Here’s the thing: your nervous system needs to know you’re safe — that all is well. And when you can create that internal sense of safety, even when things feel busy or uncertain, everything changes.

So take a deep breath, dear ones. You are safe, you are loved, and all is well. 💛
