Choosing Yourself, Regulating Your Nervous System & Becoming a Magnet for What You Want

What if the thing that's really running your life isn't your to-do list or your goals… but your nervous system and your sense of worth?In this episode of Do Tell with Nina Westbrook, Nina sits down with writer, coach, and author Amber Lyon (You Are a Magnet) for a deep, honest conversation about self-worth, nervous system regulation, and what it actually means to become "magnetic" to the life you want. They talk about: ✳️ Growing up around addiction and low self-worth — and how those patterns quietly shape our own beliefs ✳️ Dating as a "battlefield" and the moment you stop waiting to be picked and start choosing yourself ✳️ Why your nervous system tells the truth long before your mind does ✳️ How to build presence in the middle of a busy, ambitious life (especially as a parent) ✳️ The hidden cost of staying the same and why life eventually "comes knocking" ✳️ What it truly means to be a magnet — beyond perfection, aesthetics, or "reinventing" yourself Amber shares simple, grounding micro-practices you can use today — no extra time required — to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and show up more fully for yourself and the people you love. If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns, exhausted from living in survival mode, or torn between your ambition and being present, this one will hit home. 👤 Connect with Amber Lyon Follow Amber on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modernmind___/?hl=en Grab her book You Are a Magnet: https://a.co/d/8vdYO5T 🎙 Connect with Nina & Do Tell Follow Nina on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninawestbrook/ Follow Do Tell on Instagram/TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/dotellpodcast/ ▶️ Watch Next from Do Tell 📽️ Latham Thomas on Worthiness, Rest & Listening to Your Body – https://youtu.be/vdVkJkg4c-8 📽️ Trinity Mitchell: "Walk Away or Walk Through It" & Owning Your Story – https://youtu.be/pplfyighQQs 📽️ A'ja Wilson on Mental Health, Pressure & Protecting Your Peace – https://youtu.be/0cOLUl8unfs Watch more Do Tell episodes on YouTube
