Laughter, the Nervous System & Breaking the Stress Loop w/ Bianca Spears #29

What if the way out of burnout wasn't more discipline - but more play?In this episode I sit down with Bianca Spears, a thought leader shaking up the coaching and facilitation world by blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation and a whole lot of laughter into what she calls the NeuroPLAYstic Way.We get right into the onion. Bianca shares the burnout that cracked her open in 2021 - the 2am wake-ups, the can't-switch-off loop, the chronic stress that no amount of "doing it right" could fix. I share my own version from my consulting years: the meditation, the fitness, the clean foundations all in place, and still that inner voice waiting in the chair - you're not enough, do more, prove yourself.Together we explore why high-functioning, Type-A, caretaking people so often burn their wick all the way down, and what actually breaks the pattern when willpower can't.In this conversation: ✦ Why a dysregulated nervous system keeps you stuck in the same survival loop ✦ The difference between understanding burnout and actually healing it ✦ How laughter moves the body out of fight-or-flight and into safety ✦ Neurons that fire together wire together - and how to rewire them ✦ A live demo you can feel through the screenThis one is for the high-achievers, the carers, the ones who can't seem to stop - and are ready to come home to their bodies and live, not just function.Rooted. Alive. Full out. ✦| Bianca Spears |Bianca Spears is a thought leader shaking up the coaching and facilitation world in the most playful way possible.
