#46 - When Regulation Stops Working - And Why That's Not A Problem


Listen Later

There comes a moment in growth where your usual tools stop working.


Regulation feels flat. Clarity loosens. Self-doubt returns - quietly.


And the immediate assumption is:

Something must be wrong with me.


In this episode, I want to name something carefully: Sometimes the nervous system isn’t dysregulated. It’s between orientations.


This is a conversation about the phase no one prepares you for - the space after clarity, before coherence reforms.


We explore:

  • the difference between dysregulation and existential disorientation
  • why regulation tools can feel insufficient during transitions
  • the Stoic emphasis on endurance - and where it can fall short
  • why philosophy is born from loss of certainty, not clarity
  • how forcing calm too early stabilizes identities that are meant to dissolve
  • what it actually feels like to be between selves
  • and how to stay present without bypassing what’s reorganizing


This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about staying with yourself when the old map no longer fits.


If you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things again - this conversation is here to walk with you through it.
