Shownotes

You’ve likely heard about your nervous system before, but you’re probably not sure how it works, what it does for your body, and, most importantly, why it matters. So, in this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know using simple and practical language. The truth is that your nervous system is constantly sending and receiving signals throughout your body that affect everything from your stress response to pleasure. And when you know how to work with your nervous system, not against it, you can make lasting changes and turn your brain into a calmer place to be.
