Your mind starts racing, your body tenses, and suddenly you’re either spiraling into overthinking or completely shutting down.

But when your body stays stuck in that loop, it’s exhausting.

In this episode, we’re breaking down three science-backed tools to help your nervous system settle in real time so you can shift from anxious and reactive to calm and grounded.

You’ll learn:
