Is it often a challenge to unwind after a long day? Do you often feel tense, like your body is holding onto stress even when you’re trying to relax? 

As high-achieving women, we often carry stress in our bodies without realizing it, leaving us stuck in a constant state of overwhelm. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into why this happens and sharing practical, somatic ways to show your body that it’s safe to settle down & relax.

We’ll explore the connection between your nervous system and stress through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, discussing why working with body-based practices is key to finding real relief.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Polyvagal Theory explains the body's responses to stress and how to shift out of fight/flight mode.
• Why body-based practices (not just cognitive strategies) are essential for nervous system regulation.
• Three practical, somatic tools you can start using today to signal safety to your body.

Listen in to learn how to show your body that it’s safe to calm down and finally start feeling the relief you deserve.
