S3 | 13. Before the Next Chapter: Supporting the Human Nervous System Through Transitions


Listen Later

Have you ever felt a new chapter approaching… but sensed that something needed to be tended to first?

In this episode, we explore why transitions (even the ones we want) can feel disorienting, exhausting, or hard to move through, especially after long seasons of vigilance, rehab, grief, burnout, or survival mode.

You'll hear why slowing down isn't always accessible when your nervous system has learned safety through doing, fixing, or staying alert - and why this isn't a mindset problem, but a capacity one.

We'll explore:

  • why your nervous system may be asking to "catch up" before you move forward

  • how hypervigilance and fixing can become protective habits

  • the role of the soul, heart, body, and mind during periods of change

  • why resistance doesn't mean you're off track - it often contains the medicine

  • what it actually looks like to tend your nervous system through transitions

This episode isn't about forcing yourself to be calm or pushing through. It's about learning how to meet change without bracing... and understanding why support and co-regulation matter during these chapters.

If you're standing at the edge of something new and wondering how to move forward without overriding yourself, this conversation is for you.
