If you’ve ever told yourself to “just calm down” in the middle of a stressful moment—and it didn’t work—this episode is for you. I just returned from teaching a nervous system reset session at NASA (yes, really!) and today I’m sharing what I taught there. We’re diving into why most of us are stuck in fight or flight without even realizing it, what that does to your mind and body, and why thinking your way out of anxiety isn’t enough. You’ll learn what it actually takes to regulate your nervous system and how to begin shifting out of survival mode—starting today.
In this episode, I cover the following:
1. The surprising ways chronic stress shows up—and why most of us miss it.
2. Why your body gets stuck in fight or flight and how that impacts decision-making, health, and relationships.
3. The two steps required to actually reset your nervous system using breathwork.

Have you ever had a strong urge to do something… and had no clue why? In this episode, I’m joined by Jess Bubbico, an intuitive guide and human design expert, for a deep and inspiring conversation about tuning into your inner knowing.
Jess shares her journey from anxious kid to intuitive healer, how she came to trust her gifts, and why slowing down is often the key to clarity. We talk about how to reconnect with your intuition (even if you’ve been ignoring it for years), how signs and symbols can guide you, and what to do when following your truth brings fear. This episode is part spiritual goosebumps, part practical wisdom—and I know you’re going to love it.
In this episode, we talk about the following:
1. How intuition shows up differently for everyone and how to recognize your own cues.
2. Why fear often follows intuitive clarity and how to trust yourself anyway.
3. How signs, synchronicities, and the nervous system all work together to guide you forward.
