#28: What If You’re Doing Nervous System Work Backwards?


Listen Later

Are you doing nervous system work… and it’s still not working?

In this episode, I’m sharing a realization that completely changed the way I approach anxiety, overwhelm, and “regulation” as an ADHD mom.

For years, I did everything I was supposed to do:
meditation, breathwork, supplements, EFT, energy work…

And yet, I still felt stressed, rushed, and completely out of control in my daily life.

Why?

Because I was trying to calm my nervous system… while living in constant chaos.

Laundry everywhere.
 Unpaid bills.
 An overpacked schedule.
 Always running late.

👉 There’s a disconnect there.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why I believe so many of us are doing nervous system work backwards—and what actually needs to come first.

This is not about abandoning the “woo.”
It’s about putting it in the right order.

The new approach:
Environment → Logistics → THEN nervous system tools

If your life doesn’t feel manageable, no amount of meditation is going to fix that.

Want to take this further?

I created a simple, no-overwhelm guide to help you start:

👉 The Work Before the Woo Reset

This walks you through exactly what I’m focusing on right now to get my life out of chaos and into something that actually feels calm and manageable.

No routines. No pressure. Just real-life steps that make a difference.
