Join me and Amanda Armstrong, founder of Rise As We and author of "Healing Through the Vagus Nerve," as we delve into the intricacies of nervous system regulation and its impact on our mental health. In this episode, Amanda walks us through the science behind low vagal tone and its connection to stress resilience, anxiety, and more. 

Together we explore the difference between living in the yellow zone of excitement and the red zone of depression, and how our nervous system shapes our reactions to everyday situations. We also discuss practical tools—both reactive and proactive—for managing anxiety and feeling more grounded in your everyday life.
