About this episode

You cannot heal your mind or your body in the presence of chronic stress. Full stop.

And here’s the hard truth: all the money, supplements, and energy you’re spending trying to heal without addressing your stress load? It’s mostly wasted.

Because stress is cumulative. 

It’s not just the tough conversation with your boss or the argument with your partner. 

It’s also the poor sleep, the endless notifications, the skipped meals, and the emotions you never process. 

The good news? 

Healing doesn’t require extreme protocols or once-a-year retreats. 

It comes from the daily habits you build into your life—the ones that teach your nervous system, over and over again: You’re safe. You can rest. You can heal.

In this episode, I’m sharing four practices I personally use every single day to keep my nervous system regulated and resilient.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why unprocessed emotions drive stress—and how to release them without spiraling
✔️ How honoring your body’s signals builds safety and trust
✔️ Why time outdoors is the fastest reset for your system
✔️ Simple phone boundaries that protect your brain from constant micro-stress

💡 Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating rhythms that lower your stress load and return your body to safety—day by day, habit by habit.
