You're Still Having a Human Experience (don't miss it)

Before The Year Passes You By

Episode 10: In this episode, I'm reflecting on how quickly the year goes by when you're not really paying attention. This is the season 1 finale of Now, Not Tomorrow, and I wanted to end it with something that actually helps. A reason to pause, look honestly at where you are, and choose how you want to move through the rest of the year before it just passes you by. I'm also sharing a simple 4-step reflection tool I created myself. I'll walk you through it in the episode<3 What we'll cover in the season finale: * why life can pass fast when you're living on autopilot * the importance of checking in with yourself before the year is over * why mid-year is actually the best time to check-in, not just December * how to look at your year honestly without judging yourself * a 4-step mid-year reflection tool you can use right now Season 2 is coming.

Let Nature Regulate Your Nervous System

Episode 9: I share my own relationship with nature, from walking barefoot outside to hugging trees and using cold water as a way to meet stress in the body. This episode is not about pretending nature fixes everything, but about exploring how small moments of contact with the natural world can help your body feel a little safer, calmer, and more present. What we’ll cover in this episode: * what a dysregulated nervous system can feel like * why modern life can leave us feeling overstimulated and disconnected * how nature exposure can support stress regulation * the calming effect of touching and being close to nature * how cold water exposure can train the body to respond differently to stress Studies mentioned: * Shinrin-yoku / forest bathing: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2793346/ [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2793346/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] * Nature walk and amygdala activity: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01720-6 [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01720-6] * Touching natural wood: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/14/7/773 [https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/14/7/773?utm_source=chatgpt.com] * Cold shock habituation: https://pure.port.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/82695257/Habituation_of_the_cold_shock_response_FINAL.pdf [https://pure.port.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/82695257/Habituation_of_the_cold_shock_response_FINAL.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Social links: https://linktr.ee/nownottmrw [https://linktr.ee/nownottmrw] Disclaimer This episode is based on personal experience and research, and is not medical advice.

What I Stopped Using, Eating & Buying

Episode 8: In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to wake up to the fact that a lot of what feels normal in everyday life is not always serving us. This is a conversation about awareness, habits, health, and the slow process of questioning things you once never thought twice about. I share my own journey of going from living on autopilot to becoming much more intentional about what I consume, what I trust, and what I allow into my body and daily life. This episode is not about fear or perfection, but about paying closer attention and making changes that feel right for you. What we’ll cover in this episode: * why it can be so hard to question things that feel normal * how habits, convenience, and blind trust can keep us disconnected * what it looked like for me to slowly become more aware * the emotional side of changing long-held routines * how small shifts can affect your health and wellbeing more than you expect * why this journey is more about awareness than perfection Useful links: https://linktr.ee/nownottmrw [https://linktr.ee/nownottmrw]

Growing up as a mixed girl in Norway, I spent years feeling ashamed of parts of myself I now see as some of my biggest strengths.
