Shownotes

Have you ever quietly judged anything that felt “woo woo”, only to later crave something deeper than logic alone? Or felt the pressure of believing it’s all on you, your growth, your healing, your parenting, your relationships?

This episode is a personal one.

In this episode, Lauren Dry, Master Marriage Coach and founder of Rise into Regulation™, shares her journey from proud skeptic to curious explorer of spirituality, religion and science, and how opening that door changed the way her nervous system experiences stress, support and safety.

Rather than telling you what to believe, this is an invitation to get curious. To hold space for different perspectives. And to consider what happens in your body when you allow yourself to feel supported by something beyond your own effort.

You’ll hear about:

  1. Why high achievers often feel like everything rests on their shoulders
  2. The nervous system science behind co-regulation and feeling supported
  3. The “third man syndrome” phenomenon and what it reveals about human resilience
  4. How exploring faith and spirituality can sit alongside psychology, not against it
  5. How faith, prayer or curiosity can create measurable calm in your body

If you’re in a season of stress, parenting pressure, identity shifts or big transitions, and you’re tired of feeling like it’s all on you, this is your reminder, you don’t need every answer to feel steadier. Sometimes safety starts with curiosity.
