Yoga rogue and nervous system educator Helen joins me for a deep dive into chronic fatigue, burnout, yoga, and the nervous system. We chat about her journey from psychiatry to yoga, polyvagal theory, brain fog (or should I say, "brain frogs"), and why so many big-name nervous system educators miss the mark. Helen shares practical insights on "safety," ventral brakes, gender-based differences, and the medical model vs. spiritual regulation. This one’s relaxed, insightful, and packed with real-world applications for anyone navigating stress, health, or just trying to feel more human.
