We welcome Jenny Meinen, a German psychologist, mental health coach, and founder of the Her Next Era journal. With a deep focus on somatic experiencing, subconscious belief work, and attachment theory, Jenny helps self-aware individuals regulate their nervous systems, break subconscious self-sabotage, and raise their standards in life, career, and relationships.
In this deep-dive conversation with Seb, Jenny breaks down why our brains prioritize familiarity over safety, leading many to stay stuck in struggle and toxic patterns. She shares actionable somatic techniques to move from panic into regulation (including the power of pausing, breathwork, and EFT tapping) and provides a clear framework for differentiating between the high-pitched panic of fear and the calm, grounded guidance of intuition. Finally, Jenny explains how a regulated nervous system unlocks emotional availability, deeper relationships, and the confidence to take risks in business and life.
