When stress and disruption pile up, burnout isn’t always a personal failure — it’s often a nervous system that’s been holding too much without support.

In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, Erin Vandermore talks with Leigh Schultes, founder of Wilderness Muse in western North Carolina, about what regulation looks like after crisis. They explore how community, creativity, and clear boundaries can support nervous systems recovering from prolonged stress — especially for small business owners and caregivers.

This is a grounded conversation about pacing, trust, and learning to stop before the body forces it. No fixing. No performance. Just what actually helps people settle and keep going.

This conversation isn’t about heroics or resilience as performance.It’s about what actually helps a nervous system recover after disruption — community, creativity, boundaries, and knowing when to stop.

Get the real conversations and mom therapy you need to understand your gifted nervous system. Discover why sensitivity is a strength and how to find emotional regulation.In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, Erin Vandermore sits down with therapist Gordon Smith to explore what it means to live in a gifted nervous system — especially after burnout, crisis, or long-term emotional overwhelm. Giftedness and high sensitivity (HSP) are characterized by "Depth of Processing." A gifted nervous system doesn't just see the world; it processes it with a higher degree of neural complexity and emotional intensity.

Giftedness is often misunderstood as simply high intelligence. As Gordon explains, it is a neurodivergent nervous system that processes the world more intensely — emotionally, cognitively, and sensorially. For many gifted adults, this heightened sensitivity can make life feel louder, heavier, and harder to navigate, particularly in systems that weren’t built for how deeply they experience the world.

• The Gifted Nervous System (06:15): Why giftedness is a form of neurodivergence that impacts emotional regulation.

• Real Conversations on Sensitivity (15:30): Why the world feels "louder" and "heavier" for sensitive adults.

• Mom Therapy & Overwhelmed Systems (24:10): Why traditional environments fail gifted systems and how to rebuild safety.

• Creative Tools for Regulation (32:45): Using improv and storytelling as a nervous system reset.

This episode serves as essential mom therapy—providing the real conversations and psychoeducation needed for those navigating life with an intense, gifted nervous system.Together, Erin and Gordon explore:

• Why gifted people often feel “too much” or misunderstood

• How chronic overwhelm and self-doubt can develop over time

• Why traditional school and work environments often fail gifted nervous systems

• How creativity, imagination, and improv can support regulation and recovery

Gordon shares how storytelling and creative expression can help the nervous system feel safer, expand capacity, and rebuild meaning after stress or trauma — without forcing performance or perfection.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt different, emotionally intense, overwhelmed by their own mind, or exhausted from trying to fit into systems that don’t quite fit them.

Stop the cycle of codependency and learn how nervous system therapy can help you set boundaries. Join Dr. Jennifer Dragonette for a real conversation on building secure attachment and emotional regulation. In this powerful episode, we challenge the idea that codependency and boundary struggles are character flaws. Join Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, a psychologist specializing in relationships and the nervous system, for a conversation that reframes your deepest struggles as adaptive, protective responses.

You'll discover:

• Codependency as Protection: It often stems from an early-life belief that safety requires "make sureing"—controlling outcomes to prevent rupture. We explore how this unintentional control can undermine the other partner's competence, rupturing secure attachment.

• Boundaries as Regulation: Why setting boundaries feels so difficult. It's not a lack of willpower, but a sign your nervous system associates the boundary with risk. You'll learn how awareness of a "flooded" state is the key to pausing and setting a boundary as a "trust gesture."

• The Power of Asking: The essential shift from a guessing culture to an asking culture in relationships. Learning to ask brave questions instead of making assumptions is the foundation for building the two criteria for secure attachment: feeling known and feeling competent.

• Glimmers of Safety: How focusing on "glimmers"—moments when you feel safe and connected—helps your nervous system build internal evidence that the world is not "only danger."

If you want to move beyond shame and into safety, this episode is your gentle reframe. This is essential mom therapy for those struggling to balance parenting, self-regulation, and boundary setting at home.

You'll Discover

• 04:15 - How Codependency acts as a nervous system protection.

• 12:30 - Using Emotional Regulation to set harder boundaries.

• 22:10 - Shifting to Secure Attachment in your relationships.

This episode serves as essential mom therapy—providing the real conversations and psychoeducation needed to understand how your nervous system impacts your relationships and attachment.

• Mom Therapy & Attachment (22:10): How regulating your system shifts your "attachment set point" to attract emotionally available partners.

• The Chemistry of Cortisol: Why high-stress attraction is often mistaken for soulmate chemistry.

• The Science of Scent: How your nervous system state actually changes your pheromones and the subconscious signals you send to potential partners.

• Breaking the Cycle: How regulating your nervous system shifts your "attachment set point" to attract emotionally available partners.

Discover real conversations on nervous system healing and mom therapy. Learn how self-compassion and mindfulness stop burnout and support emotional regulation.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, or quietly convinced that something is wrong with you, you’re not alone. Many of us were taught — directly or indirectly — that growth requires self-criticism. That kindness toward ourselves has to be earned. That rest comes after we do enough.

But from both lived experience and neuroscience, we know this isn’t how healing actually works.

In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, I spoke with meditation teacher and author Kimberly Brown about mindfulness, loving-kindness, and what self-compassion really means when life feels heavy.

• Nervous System Overload (05:20): Why self-criticism fuels burnout and how to switch to a state of safety.

• Emotional Regulation Tools (14:10): How loving-kindness (metta) meditation builds resilience.

• Mom Therapy & Mindfulness (22:45): Practical meditation tips for busy parents and people who struggle to sit still.

Kimberly shared a message she would give her younger self — and one so many of us need to hear now: There’s nothing wrong with you.

For years, she described trying to fix herself, feeling frustrated and angry at who she was. Mindfulness didn’t magically erase struggle — but it helped her stop turning pain inward.

We explore:

• Why self-compassion isn’t selfish or complacent

• How loving-kindness (metta) meditation supports emotional regulation and resilience

• Why just a few minutes a day of mindfulness can make a meaningful difference

• Meditation tips for busy people, parents, and anyone who struggles to sit still

Kimberly also shares insights from her books — including Steady, Calm and Brave, Navigating Grief and Loss, and Happy Relationships — all centered on using mindfulness and loving-kindness to support ourselves and our relationships through difficult seasons.

This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering that kindness doesn’t need to be earned — and that a regulated nervous system grows best in an environment of safety, not shame.

You can find Kimberly and her work at meditationwiththeheart.com, where she offers classes, one-on-one support, and a free weekly newsletter with guided meditations. IG: @kimberlyjbrown FB: @meditationwithheart

In this insightful short, Leadership & Career Coach Shira Baron (@shirabaroncoaching) addresses the paralyzing fear that keeps high-achievers stuck in roles that no longer serve them. Whether it's the "Golden Handcuffs" of a stable income or the comfort of a flexible schedule, Shira explains why the leap to something new feels so terrifying—and why you don't actually have to leap yet.

Shira breaks down the transition from burnout to breakthrough:

• The Stability Trap: Understanding why we cling to "safety and security" even when we are at a breaking point of unhappiness.

• The One-Conversation Rule: Why one simple talk about possibilities is the antidote to the fear of the unknown.

• Reconnecting with "Flow": How to rediscover the activities and moments that once made you feel confident and alive.

• Coaching vs. Therapy: Why Shira believes these two worlds should collaborate. While therapy often heals the past, coaching focuses on the "here and now" to build your future.

If you are feeling disconnected from yourself and overwhelmed by the "six months from now" anxiety, Shira’s "baby step" method offers a manageable path back to your most confident self.
