✨ What's Your Stress Personality? Quiz 

In this episode of the Nourished Living Podcast, we're talking about some of the most common emotional triggers I see in myself and with my clients, including getting upset when someone is disappointed in you, struggling when things don't go according to plan, feeling triggered by someone else's success, having a hard time resting, and feeling uncomfortable setting boundaries.

For each trigger, we’ll explore where it may have originated, what it could be showing you, and what you can begin working on to loosen its hold on you.

Most times your trigger isn't the problem... it's the clue.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why someone else's anger or disappointment can feel so personal
• The connection between people pleasing and fear of conflict
• Why setting and enforcing boundaries can feel uncomfortable
• What rejection can make you believe about yourself
• Why losing control can activate your nervous system
• The connection between productivity, worth, and rest

Not all nervous system regulation tools work the same way for everyone.

Your go-to stress response: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, can influence which regulation tools are most supportive for you in the moments when you're stressed, triggered, or overwhelmed.

Take my quiz to discover your default stress response and get regulation tools matched to your result.

Have you ever wondered why you feel completely drained, overwhelmed, or anxious even when you feel like you’re doing everything “right”?

In this episode of the Nourished Living Podcast, Courtney is joined by Tarynn Johnson, Human Design and Energy Coach, for a fascinating conversation about Human Design, energy, intuition, and nervous system regulation.

We talk about how understanding your unique energy type may help you recognize the ways you naturally operate and why constantly trying to fit yourself into the way society says you should work, rest, parent, or make decisions can leave you feeling depleted.

Tarynn walks us through the five Human Design types and how each one interacts with energy differently. We also dive into how Human Design can be used as a tool for understanding your nervous system, recognizing when you may be taking on other people's stress, and reconnecting with your own intuition.

Whether you're completely new to Human Design or you've already explored your chart, you'll walk away with practical ways to experiment with your energy and pay closer attention to what your body is telling you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What Human Design is and how Tarynn discovered it
• The five Human Design types and how they each interact with energy
• The connection between Human Design and the nervous system
• How your environment can impact your sense of safety and regulation
• How you may be absorbing stress or anxiety from the people around you
• Practical tools for getting out of fight, flight, and freeze

Anybody else wondering what is going on with avocado oil these days?

Avocado oil has long been one of my favorite healthy fats for cooking, salad dressings, and snacks because of its versatility and high smoke point. But recent testing has raised questions about whether some popular brands are actually selling products that are 100% avocado oil as advertised.

In this episode, Courtney breaks down what she's learned, which brands have come into question, what alternatives you can use, and why this doesn't mean you should be afraid of dietary fat.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Recent concerns surrounding the purity of commercially available avocado oil
• Popular avocado oil brands that have come under scrutiny
• Alternative brands that can be trusted
• Other healthy fat options for cooking, including olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, and grass-fed butter

You don't need to panic or eliminate fat from your diet. Instead, stay curious, read your labels, and make informed choices about the foods you're bringing into your home.

Mentioned in this episode

Avocado oil in question:
Chosen Foods, Primal Kitchen, Kettle Brand, Boulder Canyon, Siete, Briannas, Sir Kensington's, 

Avocado Oils to trust: 

Marianne's Harvest, Madhava Foods, and Bella Vado.

Other cooking fat options:
Extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic ghee, and grass-fed butter.

What if the anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, and constant worrying you've been experiencing isn't just "who you are" but a nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode for far too long?

In this powerful conversation, Courtney sits down with Nancy, one of the very first women to complete Wildly Regulated, to discuss what life looked like before the program, the shifts she's experienced since, and why nervous system regulation has become one of the most important tools in her daily life.

After years of carrying the weight of a family health crisis, Nancy found herself constantly waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Her body was always on high alert even when there was no actual danger present.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, Nancy shares the simple yet profound practices that helped her stop living in a constant state of worry, become more aware of her triggers, and finally experience what it feels like to move through life with greater calm, confidence, and trust.

If you've ever felt like your mind won't stop racing, your body is always tense, or you're exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of everything and everyone around you, this conversation is for you.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What survival mode actually feels like in everyday life
• How unresolved stress and trauma can keep your nervous system on high alert
• Learning that you don't have to fix everyone's problems
• The power of pausing before reacting
• How to identify triggers instead of being controlled by them
• The importance of asking for support instead of carrying everything alone

Memorable Quote

"My body always felt like it was on call."

Nancy's description perfectly captures what so many women experience every day: constantly anticipating the next problem, waiting for something to go wrong, and feeling unable to truly relax.

The good news? It doesn't have to stay that way.

What Nancy Learned Inside Wildly Regulated

• You are capable.
• You are not alone.
• You have support.
• You don't have to react to every thought.
• You don't have to fix every problem.
• You can feel safe in your body again.

Most importantly, Nancy discovered that change is possible at any age when you have the right tools and choose to consciously practice them.

Is Wildly Regulated Right For You?

Wildly Regulated is for the woman who is tired of:

• Overthinking every situation
• Assuming the worst-case scenario
• Feeling emotionally triggered by small things
• People-pleasing at the expense of herself
• Living in a constant state of stress, tension, and overwhelm
• Feeling like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders

Inside the program, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, create safety within your body, break free from survival mode, and respond to life from a place of calm instead of reactivity.

Because life gets a whole lot easier when every little thing doesn't throw you off course.

Ready to Stop Living in Survival Mode?

If Nancy's story resonated with you, this is your sign that things can change.

You don't have to stay stuck in the same patterns.
You don't have to keep carrying everything alone.
And you don't have to spend another year waiting for things to magically get better.

The tools are available.
The support is available.
The transformation is available.

Now it's your turn.

In today’s episode, we are diving deep into why nervous system regulation is so important and why it impacts far more than just stress levels.

Your nervous system is the lens through which you experience life. It affects how you receive information, the meaning you assign to situations, how emotionally reactive you are, how safe you feel in your body, and ultimately how you respond to your life.

We talk about:

• Why the same situation can feel completely different depending on your nervous system state
• How dysregulation causes us to assign dangerous or catastrophic meaning to neutral situations
• Why your brain begins searching for evidence to confirm stress, fear, rejection, and disappointment
• How your internal state creates your external reality
• A simple 5-4-3-2-1 orienting exercise you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed or anxious

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing your nervous system changes the way you experience your entire life.

✨ Wildly Regulated: my group coaching program designed to help you regulate your nervous system, stop living in survival mode, and become the version of you that moves through life feeling calmer, freer, and more intentional.

Doors open soon, and we kick things off at the end of June.
