Description

In this solo episode, I share the truth about what happens when your nervous system finally starts to crave peace and why that can feel so uncomfortable at first.

After years of pushing, achieving, and chasing stimulation, I never thought I'd end up living in a small town outside the city. But when I experienced the difference in my body, the calm, the clarity, the freedom, I realized how deeply overstimulated and dysregulated I'd been for years.

In this episode, I open up about what it really means to simplify your life, how to listen when your body says "enough," and how to create a lifestyle that supports your nervous system instead of constantly draining it. Whether it's cutting your work hours, saying no more often, or simply slowing down, this conversation will help you reconnect with yourself and find peace in the stillness.

  • Your environment mirrors your nervous system, so chaos feels comfortable when you're dysregulated.
