Rooted in Wellness with Mona Sharma

62. You’re Doing Everything Right—But Your Nervous System Isn’t On Board


Listen Later

What if the first step in healing isn’t a new supplement or test—but learning how to feel safe in your own body?
In this episode, I’m guiding you through the foundational (yet often overlooked) first step in any healing journey: regulating your nervous system. We explore why your body can’t heal when it’s stuck in fight-or-flight, how to recognize the subtle signs of chronic stress, and the ancient rituals that help us come back home to ourselves—starting with the breath.
I also share the deeply personal story of how my own health unraveled in my 20s—despite doing “everything right”—and how it took walking away from the noise of modern wellness to remember what healing truly feels like.
This episode is an invitation to soften. To get curious. To stop chasing protocols and start listening to your inner wisdom. We’ll walk through breathwork, circadian rhythms, and the power of building your own sanctuary for rest—because you deserve to feel good again.
If your symptoms feel confusing, your stress feels constant, or you just need a moment of grounding... this is for you.
