If you only listen to one episode of this podcast, let it be this one. 

I am certain your life will look different to you after you listen to this powerful story, friend. 

Our guest is Dr. Tasha Faruqui. She is a Pediatrician and a mother of three, an author, a speaker and an advocate for parents of medically complex children and those with limited life expectancy. 

Tasha's debut memoir, Keep Your Head Up: A Mother's Story of Chasing Joy in the Face of Grief, was published in September 2025. 

This book fundamentally changed me, dear listener. I strongly recommend you read this book immediately, if not sooner. 

In this conversation, Tasha and I unpack her powerful story of how she and her family have decided "to suck the joy out of life" while facing their middle daughter, Soraya's complex, life-limiting and little known genetic medical disorder.

In this solo episode, we explore something subtle yet revolutionary: co-regulation, the way our nervous systems talk to each other beneath the level of language.

This is the quiet magic that helps us settle, soften, and reconnect to our natural steadiness — and it’s built into us from birth. As infants, co-regulation is a biological requirement for survival. As adults, it becomes the foundation for effective self-regulation, healthy relationships, and a felt sense of safety.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

The Nervous System’s Secret Language

Our bodies communicate continuously — micro-expression to micro-expression, heart rate to heart rate.
It's not intuition. It's biology.

We explore the ventral vagal system, the social engagement system described in Polyvagal Theory, and how it serves as our internal bridge to safety, connection, and presence.

Presence as Medicine

In yoga and Ayurveda, the energy of sattva represents clarity, balance, and calm.
When your nervous system is regulated, you radiate sattva — and modern science agrees. The heart’s electromagnetic field extends several feet, shifting measurable rhythms in people around us.

How Co-Regulation Supports Self-Regulation

Even with all the self-care tools in the world, humans are wired as relational beings.
 We regulate through each other before we regulate by ourselves.
 

Practical Tools for Cultivating Co-Regulation

You'll learn how to:

• Self-regulate first
A brief pause, a grounding breath, allowing your energy to arrive before your words do.

• Signal safety
Soft eyes, warm tone, relaxed jaw — subtle cues that whisper “you’re safe here.”

• Maintain energetic hygiene
Shake out your hands, brush your arms, breathe and remind yourself:
“I can love deeply without absorbing.”

• Create micro-rituals of reconnection
Group singing, chanting, shared laughter, improv — ancient and modern ways we return to each other.

Healing Through Connection

Trauma happens in disconnection, but healing happens in connection.
 Co-regulation triggers oxytocin, deepens trust, and supports emotional resilience.

When you breathe calmly next to someone in distress, you’re lending your nervous system.

✨ Guided Co-Regulation Exercise

We end with a gentle practice: placing a hand over the heart, recalling someone who feels safe and kind, and then imagining offering that same steadiness to the next person you meet — not through doing, but through being.

In a culture that glorifies radical independence, co-regulation brings us back to a profound human truth:
 We were never meant to heal alone.

We all know what scattered energy feels like. 

In this episode, we’re talking about something every high-achieving, big-hearted human needs to understand:

Your energy can be present… or it can be leaking.
And most people don’t even realize how much of their energy they've given away to worry, people-pleasing, multitasking, future-tripping, mental tabs left open, or conversations they’re still unconsciously holding.

🔥This is your invitation to call your energy back to you — not metaphorically, but biologically, emotionally, and energetically.

💫We're at episode 100, friend! In this special episode, we explore one of life’s quietest yet most powerful practices — letting go of expectations.

From expectations about how others should act to the subtle attachments we hold to outcomes, letting go is not about giving up — it’s about returning to presence.

I share stories as a reminder that peace isn’t found in controlling life, but in allowing it.

You’ll learn:
-Why expectations are “frustrations waiting to happen”
-The cost of attachment and how it steals our presence
-A simple 3-step practice to nourish the art of letting go
-Why, like a snake shedding its skin, true release can’t be forced — only allowed

As we celebrate 100 episodes of Inner Peace and Power, this one is an invitation to trust, soften, and remember that your inner peace is your greatest power.

Listen, reflect, and share this milestone with a friend who’s ready to release what no longer serves.

In this episode, we'll discuss top 3 practices for you to live a more aligned, powerful, peaceful and purposeful life. 

As always, I'm so grateful for you and this community. Please share and let's keep evolving together.
