Show Notes: Sara Cate and Ashley bring you a conversation from their new setup, Denver AND Atlanta! Today’s episode illuminates the function of a highly active nervous system, meaning those of us who are running at the speed of light. Sara Cate explores her own internal struggle with being habitually busy as a bypass strategy for the emotions trying to catch her. Slowing down can feel painful and terrifying if you have learned to be "high functioning" or "hyper busy" as a safety mechanism to survive your life. They explore ways to re-pattern your nervous system by beginning to explore what it means to slow down, even just a bit. Connect with us!
