About this episode

The APP has arrived! https://studio.com/apps/rebecca

If you like the podcast, you will love the Everyday Calm app. It is a daily program that teaches simple skills to reduce stress and anxiety in a few minutes a day. GET IT!

Ever wonder why you feel calm one minute and spiraling the next?

In this short episode, you'll learn how your nervous system impacts your mental health and why understanding its patterns is key to feeling more steady and self-aware.

You'll discover the three core states your nervous system moves through daily, what they feel like, and how they drive everything from burnout to disconnection to real presence.

Listen in to get familiar with the system that’s quietly shaping your emotional world and start responding instead of reacting.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) stop overthinking, overcome emotional overwhelm, and actually feel better...for real.

💥 Ready to feel calm and clear again?

Check out Back to Calm, my complete self-paced program that teaches the exact skills I’ve used with thousands of clients to reset their nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and finally feel present in life again.
