Alive & Well – Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Productivity, Time Management, Somatic Tools, Work-Life Balance

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stressed, snappy, or depleted—even when nothing “major” is wrong—your habits might be the reason.

Because nervous system regulation doesn’t happen in the big, dramatic moments. It’s built in the small, daily rhythms that either anchor your body in safety… or keep it running on fumes.

In this episode, I’m sharing 4 everyday habits that have completely changed my patience, energy, mood, and ability to show up—at work and at home.

These aren’t flashy, but they’re powerful scaffolding for resilience.

You’ll learn:

🔹 Why rushing through life spikes cortisol and keeps you in survival mode

🔹 How 90 minutes of distraction-free focus rewires your brain for calm productivity

🔹 Why saying “no” is actually a nervous system intervention—not just a boundary

🔹 The neuroscience of early bedtimes (and how sleep resets your emotional regulation system)

💡 None of these habits are about perfection. But when practiced consistently, they change the way your body moves through stress—helping you feel more present, patient, and grounded in daily life.

🎧 Tune in now and pick one habit to experiment with this week. Because your nervous system isn’t shaped in the big breakthroughs—it’s shaped in the everyday rhythms of how you live.
