I Went to Nicaragua to Slow Down—Here’s What It Did to My Brain, Body, and Baby


Listen Later

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share how our trip to Nicaragua became a transformative journey in nervous system regulation, parenting, and conscious living. 

From barefoot grounding to outdoor schools, I dive into how slow, intentional living changed my perspective on health, tech, food, education, and motherhood.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just crave a deeper connection with yourself and your family, this episode is for you.

26:00 — Real signs of healing: HRV improvement, deeper sleep, less stress, and feeling home in my body

32:30 — Hydroponic permaculture farming, fresh food, and gut-brain health

38:00 — Touring off-grid schools: biologically aligned education, tech-minimal classrooms, and food policies

46:00 — Health education, and navigating controversial parenting choices

56:50 — Traveling with a baby: sleeping tips, gear recommendations, flexibility, and letting go of routines
