▶︎▶︎Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code’
If you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or numb — even while doing all the “right” things — your nervous system and hormones may be driving the cycle, not your mindset or willpower.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sonya Jensen, a naturopathic physician and women’s health expert, to explore why so many women feel stuck in chronic stress, why self-care isn’t working, and how hormonal shifts and nervous system regulation shape how safe, calm, or on edge you feel in your body.
We talk about why anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm aren’t personal failures, how survival mode becomes a default state, and what actually helps your body return to calm and regulation. This conversation focuses on real life — small pauses, awareness, and simple nervous system tools you can use throughout the day.
If you’ve been wondering why your body won’t relax, why stress feels constant, or why you feel “off” without a clear reason, this episode will help you understand what’s happening underneath — and how to work with your body instead of pushing against it.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why anxiety and overwhelm are nervous system patterns, not flaws
- How hormones affect stress, mood, and emotional safety
- Why many women stay stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown
- Why productivity-based self-care doesn’t lead to nervous system regulation
- Simple, everyday ways to support your nervous system
