The final part of the Polyvagal 101 series! I hope you've benefited from this series and gotten all your Polyvagal curiosities fulfilled. The only missing piece is self-regulation and co-regulation.

I read a handful of messages I got recently from listeners to the podcast. One of them makes the astute observation that something is off with the host.

I give my thoughts on a couple pieces of feedback I got recently re: censorship of swearing on the podcast and discussing whether or not I know my audience.

I'd love to get your feedback as well. Email [email protected], DM me through Instagram/Facebook or send me an audio message through these avenues. I love audio messages!
