Ep. 9 | Finding the Glimmers

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about the practice of noticing the small moments of safety and peace that help us regulate when the world feels like one long trigger. We'll explore how our nervous systems search for safety in all kinds of ways - from food to scrolling to control - and how recognizing "glimmers," a concept from Deb Dana's training in Polyvagal Theory, can bring us back to gratitude, calm, and what actually sustains us. Question to carry into your day: What's one glimmer you can notice today - one small, ordinary moment that reminds your body that you're safe, alive, and deeply blessed?
