Episode 23: The Success Tax Audit
from The Regulated Life · host Erica Carter-Folk
It's Friday. You've given everything this week. But if tonight goes the way the last few Fridays have gone — the blowup, the cold shoulder, or the heavy silence — Saturday morning won't be rest. It'll be recovery. In this episode, Erica breaks down why Friday night is biologically set up for detonation. Your Cortisol has been stacking all week like a tower of blocks. Your partner's has too. Two depleted nervous systems in the same room isn't a recipe for connection — it's a recipe for shrapnel. You'll learn the Friday 6-Second Anchor — the simplest way to knock down the Cortisol tower, signal both nervous systems that the war is over, and start your weekend from connection instead of damage control. Plus a full recap of every somatic tool from Week 3.
