31. Nurturing the Nervous System

In this episode, we talk about how to regulate and support the nervous system – from a scientific and spiritual perspective – and why doing so is such an important part of your self-love, and self-care and healing journey. The nervous system affects all parts related to your health: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The nervous system governs how you respond when you are emotional, your ability to move the way you want, your memory and your thought processes, and even the ageing process. Let’s unpack it together! Plus, we kick off the episode with a cosmic update and life update from both of us.
