#162: Is Your Nervous System a Hummingbird or a Turtle?


Listen Later

This episode focuses on our nervous system and how it shapes our everyday experience, often before our minds even catch up. I share a helpful way to connect with our nervous system by thinking of it as an animal (such as a hummingbird, turtle, or dog). Thinking of ourselves in this way lets us step away from judgment and move toward compassion. Instead of criticizing ourselves for being “too sensitive” or “not strong enough,” I explore how we can learn to listen, respond, and care for our nervous systems with curiosity. This shift lets us build self-trust and show up more fully for our lives.
