In this episode, I'm chatting with Pilates instructor Tabitha Green about how Pilates can help you regulate your nervous system and reduce anxiety. 

Tabitha explains how Joseph Pilates, the founder of Pilates, designed the method to create a more breathable body, and how this can tap into your nervous system and promote relaxation. 

We also discuss how breathwork is an integral part of Pilates and how to use breathing exercises to down-regulate your nervous system.

Key Takeaways:

• Pilates can help you breathe easier and improve your overall lung capacity.
• Focusing on your breath during Pilates exercises can help regulate your nervous system and reduce anxiety.
• There are specific Pilates exercises that can be tailored to address individual needs, such as pelvic floor dysfunction.
• You don't have to spend a long time doing the same exercise in Pilates - the variety of movements helps keep your nervous system engaged.

You can connect with Tabitha by following her on Instagram, Threads, Pinterest and Facebook @talltreespilates or on her website.

Can you really rewire your brain to manage anxiety and stress? I’m Megan DeVito, and in this episode, we’ll uncover the remarkable science of neuroplasticity and how it can help you feel calmer and more in control of your life. You’ll learn how your brain, much like muscles in the gym, can be trained to form new neurons and synapses, offering a powerful tool for overcoming anxiety.

We’ll explore how habitual thoughts and behaviors carve lasting neural pathways in our brains, akin to sledding down the same hill over and over. By intentionally redirecting our thoughts and actions—whether it’s picking up a new hobby, shifting our focus from negative to positive, or even overcoming sensory loss—we can create new, beneficial pathways. I’ll share practical strategies to train your brain to respond differently to anxiety, including the importance of handwritten notes to reinforce positive thinking.

Finally, we’ll tackle the common pitfalls of anxiety, such as catastrophizing and all-or-nothing thinking, and how these habits keep us trapped in a cycle of stress. Drawing inspiration from Jen Sincero’s book "You Are a Badass," we’ll discuss how to shift your mental focus towards positive outcomes without falling into the trap of toxic positivity. Join our community, engage with these insights, and explore personal coaching opportunities to enhance your mental well-being journey.

In this episode I'm talking about one of my favorite tools I use to help the people I coach lower anxiety and stress and grow their confidence. You'll learn how to use guided imagery and/or future pacing , what it is, and why  it works.

Be sure to stay until the end or pause and come back when you're in a place where you can relax and feel comfortable. I'm taking you through a quick relaxation imagery session so you can destress and feel great anytime you listen.

Combining future pacing with coaching helps my clients get the results they came for faster without having to dig into the past or fearing the future. To talk to me about how you can work with me as your coach, CLICK HERE.

Welcome Niki McGlynn to the podcast. Niki is a neurodevelopment therapist and ADHD coach, and in this episode she shares her wisdom on how retained primitive reflexes, like the Moro reflex, play a huge role in adult anxiety.

Niki also shares how each individual experiences traumatic events differently, and the concept of inherited trauma  and how that can shadow families for generations.

Additionally, we talk about the connection between movement and mental health in kids and teens, that movement can be simple, that it doesn't require a class,  and she shares pointers on accessing the right support and resources so you can get started.

Join me in Episode 89 as I talk about how you're sabotaging your career, your growth, and giving up on your dreams when you let anxiety make your decisions for you. 

I'm sharing how you can use the feeling of anxiety in your body to check and challenge your thoughts, 
find evidence that you're already succeeding, 
and take steps forward even and especially when you feel anxious - on purpose.

You want to grow and expand - to get the promotion, to build your business, to have time for more fun but it feels scary.

• You see all the roadblocks that you think are too big
• You have great ideas on what you want but they feel impossible because of where you are now - you brain only has the past to go on and what you’re living in now was built on the past.
• You feel anxious when you think about trying new things
  • Spending money that you haven’t made yet
  • Asking for what you want because you’re afraid of what someone else will say or think about you for asking.

You keep doing side projects that feel productive but when it comes to promoting yourself, you hold back. You work but you don’t make changes because they make you feel anxious - again based on what you think you’re capable of or what other people will think of you.

You have to learn to feel anxious and not believe what you think. You have to learn to choose the things that feel uncomfortable and believe in yourself before anyone else will believe in you - even if you have the cutest cupcakes on the planet - yes, you’ll sell some but you won’t grow and eventually you’ll fade away only because you aren’t truly believing in yourself.

1. Learn how to calm your body and stop thinking.
2. Decide what you want to believe about yourself and start gathering evidence to show you that you already have it.
3. Make a first step plan that makes you uncomfortable and take the step - even and especially if it scares you.
4. Repeat.

You use your problems and anxiety as a notification and motivation instead of rolling around in feeling defeated, angry, or small - which are okay to feel but not a place you want to or can stay in for long if you truly want to grow and expand personally or in your career.
