This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Dr. Jen Johannsen. Jen is a dentist by trade, but she’s also a self-development nerd with a passion for financial, time, and emotional freedom. Join us as we dive into her journey from dealing with seasonal depression to becoming a self-care advocate and nervous system health enthusiast. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • The impact of nervous system health on our daily lives
  • Practical tools for emotional well-being
  • The transformative power of Dr. David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness.
  • Mentorship’s role in personal growth and self-discovery
  • Why regular practice and self-care routines are essential for lasting change
  • How understanding the polyvagal theory can help you manage stress

ABOUT GUEST:
Dentist by profession and a self-development nerd by passion. We’re debt-free (mortgage included) and I’ve scaled back to working 12 hours per week. I’m deeply passionate about financial freedom, time freedom, and emotional freedom. I am endlessly fascinated by how we can shift ourselves internally, and radically change our perceptions and experiences. Much of our interaction with the world around us is filtered through the lens of our (often negative) mental chatter. Through a combination of medical knowledge, tools for nervous system regulation, and a lot of trial and error, I’ve drastically improved my baseline mood and have teachable tools to return to it. If any small thing I’ve learned helps someone else or builds belief, that’s a win!
