There are three things that have to go hand-in-hand for us to step into our authentic, embodied selves. The first two are authenticity and embodiment. The last one? Nervous system regulation. If we’re stuck in fight or flight mode, then we’re not going to be able to unpack the stories that are keeping us from reclaiming our power and reconnecting with our stories. If we’re stuck in a fawn or freeze response, then we will struggle to realize our inner divinity and be able to set boundaries and connect with our inner self. And yet, so much of our society is designed to separate us not just from ourselves and each other, but our own innate divinity and spirituality. This episode is a first look at how these three things go together and why it’s imperative we work on engaging our parasympathetic nervous system so that we can begin to rest and have the time and space to explore who we really are.

I’d love to hear from you. Reach out and contact me. Let me know how you fit in with my work and what you’d like to chat about. I’m happy to bring in new voices and perspectives, but just so you’re aware, I won’t promote anyone who is selling quick fixes, trying to exploit the communities I’m a part of, or who outright dismisses the work I’m doing. I’m a firm believer we have to stop putting silos around things and understand the glorious interplay between such things as our mental health, our well-being, living authentic and embodied, as well as some of the harms caused by a psychology practice that has for too long been centered in a cis, white, neurotypical, heterosexual frame.
