This week’s episode was recorded live at the Return to Nature Retreat, where neuroscience met embodiment.

Dr. Melissa Sonners — chiropractor, nervous system specialist, and co-founder of Be Inspired Mom — shares how modern “self-care” is often keeping us stuck in survival mode. Through science, story, and personal transformation, she reveals how to reconnect to your body’s innate intelligence by syncing with your nervous system, not fighting against it.

Melissa invites us to reimagine self-care as connection care — finding power from within rather than adding more to our endless to-do lists. She shares her journey from burnout to alignment and teaches practical, two-minute tools that help you reset your nervous system in real time.

You’ll learn:

• 🧠 Why stress is not failure — it’s feedback
• ⚡ How your nervous system acts as your intuition’s gateway
• 🌊 The 5 “P’s” framework to restore daily rhythm (Pause, Prepare, Produce, Pulse, Peace)
• 🩵 How brainwave syncing unlocks creativity, clarity, and calm
• 🌞 Simple micro-practices to regulate your nervous system throughout the day
• 🔄 How to shift from “doing” self-care to being aligned

This is one of those talks that changes the way you relate to yourself.

Dr. Sonners combines practical neuroscience with soulful wisdom to remind us that we are designed to live in rhythm, not resistance.
