In this episode of the Weekly Recharge audio series, Renae shares a personal story from a recent Brainspotting training in Pasadena and the unexpected nervous system lesson that followed: how scent, sensory input, and the body’s instinctive cravings may reveal more about emotional regulation than most people realize.

We explore:

  • Why smell has a direct connection to the limbic system
  • The surprising overlap between Brainspotting and sensory regulation
  • How burnout and stress disconnect people from their body’s signals
  • Why nervous system healing isn’t always cognitive
  • A simple sensory anchor practice you can try this week

Renae also reflects on identity loss, nervous system survival mode, and her conversation with Aaron Tisdale Parker about rebuilding yourself after career disruption and major life change.

If you’re a high achiever, first responder, caregiver, or someone constantly operating in overdrive, this episode will help you reconnect with the signals your body has been trying to send all along.

Subscribe to Hustle Rebels for conversations around burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, identity, leadership, and sustainable performance without glorifying exhaustion.
