Ep. 400 - How to Regulate Your Nervous System to Hold More Abundance


Listen Later

You’re fine…so why do you feel stuck? Where is the fear coming from, even when you know you’re safe? 

The truth is, lasting change requires more than mindset work alone. It means training your nervous system to build new associations with things that once felt uncertain or threatening.

Today, Lacy, Jessica, and somatic expert Janelle unpack the true role of the nervous system in manifestation. They explore how your body's sense of safety determines when to shut down and protect you from potential threats—and when to expand, receive, and take aligned action towards your goals. Plus, the small, doable steps ("small steppies") that lead you back to yourself.

If you've ever felt stuck despite doing all the inner work, this episode is your roadmap back to safety, embodiment, and sustainable growth.

                In this episode we talk about:

                • Why nervous system regulation is essential for manifestation—not optional
                • A regulated system isn’t always calm; it’s flexible and adaptive
                • Why self-sabotage often comes up – and how it’s related to the nervous system
                • The “upper limit problem” reflects your nervous system’s capacity for receiving
                • Expanding your “energy well” allows you to hold more success and joy
                • Why overwhelm and shutdown are protective responses, not failures
                • “Small steppy” actions help avoid burnout and build sustainable growth
                • Overstimulation from modern life impacts your ability to regulate
                • Somatic practices help the body align with mental breakthroughs
                • Beauty, nature, and sensory experiences regulate the nervous system
                • Avoidance habits that may signal dysregulation
                • Authenticity reduces pressure and supports nervous system safety
                • How relationships and co-regulation are deeply healing
                • Movement, sound, and breathwork activate the vagus nerve
                •

                      The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.

                      At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

                      Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
                       – Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
                       – Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
                       – Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
                       – Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

                      With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
