Hello - how are you doing? I hope you’ve had a good weekend…I did parkrun yesterday morning, then met up with a friend for a coffee, walk and a potter around the shops, which was lovely. What about you?
This episode of the podcast is a bit of an overview of the nervous system and how it fits into burnout and female hormones. There’s a LOT more I could share on this topic - as it forms the basis of a lot of my work, either implicitly or explicity, depending on the context - and I find it fascinating.
In this episode I share….
✨ What the nervous system is - and how it links with burnout and female hormones
✨Why you need to become aware of your own nervous system patterns
✨Why we don't need to 'regulate' - and what we can do instead
✨I also suggest a couple of simple practices to help you ground yourself and connect to your sense of inner safety and resource.
🎧 If you give it a listen - I'd love to know your thoughts and reflections on what I've shared here...does any of this resonate with you?
I've got SO much more to share on this topic - do let me know if you'd like to hear more.
Have a great week,
Rachael x
