HACK your CALM (with the Vagus Nerve)

Hijacked- Stop scrolling for 30 seconds

Why is it so hard to put your phone down once you have started scrolling? Why do likes, followers and endless notifications feel so rewarding, even when we feel less connected than ever? In this episode, I unpack these answers.  Join me on a journey and discussion about dopamine, cortisol, neuroscience and even my own doom scrolling down falls.  We will explore the reward system, our evolution in belonging, algorithms, advertising, scrolling habits and what keeps up engaged for far longer than ever expected.   I'll link all of this to the nervous system and how it responds to the constant flood of information, comparison, stimulation, and why these tendencies might be leaving us feeling anxious and disconnected.   We'll close with a grounding somatic practice designed to help you shift out of auto pilot, and back into the body with just a simple pause.  This is about creating a healthier relationship with technology, not giving it up completely.  It's about intentionality, not getting lost and loosing time.   https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/1d750ca5-3789-397a-bf2f-b1c5628fb5aa/ https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/2ed6c51c-962a-4548-876f-165ba4474248/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]

From Scattered to Centered (The ADHD Nervous System)

In this episode I explore the connection between Somatic Work and ADHD.   What if ADHD isn't just in the mind, but also living deep in our nervous system? I discuss how chronic stress, advice from others, masking, and emotional dysregulation often show up physically, and how body based practices can support greater self awareness and resilience when living with ADHD. I wrote this episode hoping to give you a greater understanding of somatic work, how to use it, and some tools to try, to reconnect to your body and nervous system.  I encourage you to be patient with yourself,  begin by being curious, instead of judgmental.  Join me as I explore how working with your nervous system- not against it- can create more ease, presence, and self-trust in everyday life, while living with ADHD. https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/77b84d16-db6d-4d57-8f1e-8bceda990d60/ https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/723c6402-a9ae-4a2a-8f51-38c0d2ba3fba/ https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/723c6402-a9ae-4a2a-8f51-38c0d2ba3fba/ https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/62389998-d503-436b-8034-769cd7465a1d/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]

Solar Plexus Meditation

In this episode we explore the Solar Plexus, Part 3: of a 7 part series through meditation.  The Solar Plexus is the heart of our self-esteem and self-worth. The Solar Plexus is located between the naval and the base of the sternum, and the color associated with the Solar Plexus is yellow.   This mediation invites you to explore your will power and confidence and encourages you to let go of self doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear.  Using affirmations, mindful breathing, body awareness and visualization, my hope is that you can move through your day with a new found confidence that allows you to shine. https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/56285df5-51a3-4a1e-ae31-17f5bce01008/ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605095/fan_mail/new]
