How do we retrain the nervous system to slow down, soften, and trust the support that is always beneath and behind us, even in a world that urges us to keep doing?

Welcome to episode 04 of Transformative Harmonics with your host, Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, SEP.

In this conversation, Paula introduces the foundational concept of yield, a developmental movement that lets us receive, belong, and rest in presence. She weaves together neuroscience, somatic psychology, and sound to show how cultivating yield can reshape our inner “operating system,” foster healthier relationships, and spark creative insight.

Along the way, Paula offers practical micro-practices, transition rituals, resourcing, and the “plenty of time and space” mantra that listeners can apply immediately.
