A few days back, I wrote a list of things that I had mused on, read, or noted down to consider when the world feels hard or tense.

I shared it first on Facebook, and then when the time came for our live Q&A in my membership program, JoyRide, I decided to share it there as well. 

Today's episode is a repeat of that conversation. It's neither conclusive nor definitive, but I think gives us some ideas that we can hold close to inform our action and behavior as we're moving through the world.

I hope it's useful in some way, thanks for listening!

Oh, there are so many things that I have learned from being in coach with a focus on the nervous system.   In this episode, I pick five things that spring to mind as 'standouts'; things you may not have considered or fully understood previously when it comes to being in the world, working with horses and your nervous system health.   We talk about:   1. Why there is nothing wrong with being in fight flight. What we are ultimately seeking is "appropriate responsiveness", a nervous system that is accurately responding to the reality of the moment. 2. Why calm is not the goal   3. Why we need to take care not to use meditation, breath and mindfulness practices as another substitute for control. 4. The necessity of adaptability within the sympathetic system and why you want to be able to access the full spectrum of fight flight.     5. How our dominant western culture doesn't support a healthy nervous system state and what it is you need to thrive.     I hope you find it useful!    xx Jane

Fabulous souls, we are back with our second to last Christmas Conversation and it's another (christmas) cracker (I couldn't help adding that in there).

I'm so blessed to be joined by the wonderful trio that is Kimberly Carter, Brigid Piccaro & Terry Kuebler. In all truth, I don't know how to reduce the vast expanse of ground we covered over the course of our time together, so I will leave you to listen to it instead!

I hope you enjoy it, happy listening!

When I was considering what overwhelm feels like as an experience in the body, the image that came to mind was one of foggy, misty cliffs; a landscape where we are aware of what lies in front of us but where the weather patterns at play are preventing us from getting a clear sense of the path that we should follow and the direction we should head.

In other words, the experience of overwhelm is immobilising and removes us from the ability to act. 

In this episode, we discuss the atmospheric experience of overwhelm including:

• The indecisiveness of overwhelm, and how this creates a negative loop that compounds on itself
• Nervous system considerations when navigating overwhelm and how listening to your body is not always the best way forward
• Reclaiming agency and voice, and creating space between you and the experience of overwhelm

I hope you find it useful!

If you are interested in joining me in JoyRide for the course navigating overwhelm, you can learn more or sign up here.

Thanks for listening,

xx Jane

What does it mean to begin?

What gets in the way of us beginning again?

How can we approach beginning with tenderness?

This episode is a contemplation, meditation on beginnings; on the challenges we face, the stories we tell ourselves, beginning as an art in and of itself.

I hope you find it useful in some way,

xx Jane
