#54 - Nervous System Lessons from a Toddler

What if your two-year-old could teach you the most profound nervous system regulation technique you’ve ever heard?In this solo episode of Playful Spirituality, Cara reflects on the tender, tangled experience of coming down from the high of her wedding in Costa Rica and how her toddler’s one-word wisdom became the nervous system cue she didn’t know she needed.From dreamy days surrounded by loved ones on the beach to the messy reintegration of daily life, Cara digs into the emotional whiplash of big transitions…and how her little one’s honest expression of overwhelm illuminated her approach to her own.You’ll walk away with a simple, grounding nervous system check-in you can use anywhere (yes, even mid-meltdown), a powerful reframe for handling stress with compassion, and a gentle invitation to pause when life gets loud.Blending lighthearted insight with embodied wisdom, Cara invites you to treat your stress responses with tenderness, follow your body’s cues like a wise toddler, and shake it off just like the animals do.____Check out Master Your Magic here and get on the waitlist!Connect with Cara!Website -⁠⁠ https://www.caraviana.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cara_viana/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/caravianaYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/caravianaEpisode Time Stamps00:00 Introduction to Playful Spirituality01:11 Personal Update: Wedding and Life Events04:24 New Dreams and Financial Goals07:04 A Lesson from My 2-Year-Old16:10 Nervous System Awareness Exercise25:58 Conclusion and Gratitude
