The Next ChaptHER

What It Really Means to Regulate (and Why It’s Not Just Breathing)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER, I’m pulling back the curtain on what nervous system regulation really looks like — especially when you're walking through something hard in real time.

Mindset matters — but it doesn’t work alone.


To think clearly, stay grounded, and show up for yourself (and others) when life gets messy, you need tools that bring you back to your center in the moment — not just after the chaos ends.

I’m sharing:

  • What regulation actually means (spoiler: it's not just breathwork and candles)

  • Unexpected ways I regulate in real life — from binge-watching to city walks

  • What I did in the middle of a medical procedure to calm my nervous system

  • Why regulation is about choosing your response — not controlling your emotions

  • The one question I ask my clients (and myself) when everything feels like too much

    Whether you're navigating illness, burnout, parenting, recovery, or just regular life — this conversation is here to help you pause, reconnect, and come back to you.
