Listen Later

Ever feel like your mind and body just can’t chill—no matter how much lavender oil, deep breathing, or “self-care” you try?

You might be missing the real MVP of nervous system regulation: your vagus nerve.

It’s not just some wellness buzzword.  The vagus nerve is your nervous system’s on switch for calm—and if it’s not firing well, neither are you.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why your system won’t stop buzzing, even when you’re doing all the “right” things (deep breathing, journaling, nightly tea… anyone?).

And more importantly?

Exactly how to reset your system in a way that’s simple, science-backed, and actually doable in real life.

You’ll learn:

  • What the vagus nerve actually is (and why you should care)
  • The difference between high vs. low vagal tone—and how it impacts your stress, digestion, sleep, and mood
  • 7 science-backed, ways to naturally tone your vagus nerve starting today


No expensive gadgets. No hour-long routines. Just real tools for real life.

🎧 Hit play to start rewiring your stress response from the inside out.
