Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker: Motherhood, Self-Connection, Joyful Living & Self-Care

166. Simple Strategies to Calm Your Nervous System When Mom Life Feels Overwhelming with Michelle Grosser


Listen Later

Did you know that every word we say and every action we take is ruled by our nervous system? It's the command center that shapes how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us, and yet, most of us rarely stop to notice what's actually happening inside our bodies. Whitney sits down with Michelle Grosser, an expert in nervous system regulation, to discuss how becoming aware of the cues in your body can help shift how you move throughout the day.

Michelle offers tangible steps we can take to become more somatically aware of what's going on in our bodies and how to regulate before stress builds up. She also shares her big three: movement, stillness and play, and how each of those can help make us feel more grounded.

If you've been craving more calm, ease and connection in your everyday life, this conversation is a must-listen.

Here's what you can look forward to in this episode:

  • Our nervous system determines how we show up

  • Becoming somatically aware of what's happening in our nervous system, even with a busy life

  • Tangible actions we can take to release any tension that we feel

  • How we can change our baseline

  • Michelle's big three: Movement, stillness and play

  • What happens when our bodies are in fight or flight mode

Reflection questions to ponder: Am I playing an inside-out or an outside-in game? How can I shift my judgment to curiosity?
