Episode 8: Tending to the Nervous System, Reclaiming Power

Message me at [email protected] this soul-deep episode, Briony Montgomery invites you into the sacred terrain of your nervous system - where shutdown, freeze, rage, and grief live in the body - and where your power is quietly waiting to be reclaimed.We unravel how dysregulation isn't just personal, but ancestral and cultural - shaped by trauma, colonisation, the mother wound, and archetypes like the Martyr, the Parentified Child, and the Death Mother. Together, we name how women in midlife often become hollowed out, dried up, tired of holding it all and how tending to your nervous system is the first act of revolt and return.This episode explores:What dysregulation really looks like (and how we get stuck in it)How your nervous system was shaped by your lineage and environmentThe functional freeze state (and why you can’t "just try harder")Why grief and anger are vital, sacred, and necessarySomatic pathways to move from collapse into connection, from exhaustion into reclamationThis isn’t about self-improvement.
