  Lane Kennedy: Hi, I'm Lane Kennedy, and I'm making this short introduction before we get into the actual show because I want you to understand, who I am and why I'm doing this, and who should listen, and who you might wanna
• 0:18
  Lane Kennedy: share this show with.
• 0:20
  Lane Kennedy: So I've been teaching meditation and mindfulness stress management for years.
• 0:25
  Lane Kennedy: I've studied the nervous system, trained.
• 0:29
  Lane Kennedy: I've done a ton of nutrition, breathwork, and most importantly, the brain-body connection.
• 0:34
  Lane Kennedy: I spent a lot of time, working with first responders, helping people of all different walks of life, ER doctors, students, teachers, attorneys.
• 0:45
  Lane Kennedy: you name it, I've probably tau- I've probably taught to them.
• 0:49
  Lane Kennedy: and, I...
• 0:50
  Lane Kennedy: When I teach people about what's going inside their body, right?
• 0:53
  Lane Kennedy: Like stress is a physical symptom that we, we create, and typically a lot of people don't understand that, and we just ignore it.
• 1:04
  Lane Kennedy: I ignored it.
• 1:06
  Lane Kennedy: My own nervous system collapsed, and it collapsed about, 14 months ago, 15 months ago, and I didn't see it coming.
• 1:17
  Lane Kennedy: I didn't expect it.
• 1:18
  Lane Kennedy: And it...
• 1:19
  Lane Kennedy: My body stopped working.
• 1:23
  Lane Kennedy: And I have to say it's been very humbling.
• 1:26
  Lane Kennedy: It's been very humbling.
• 1:27
  Lane Kennedy: It's humbling to land in an ER.
• 1:28
  Lane Kennedy: And I don't wanna get into that because that's episode one, but what I want you to share is that...
• 1:35
  Lane Kennedy: What I want to share is that, going through my own recovery has fundamentally changed how I teach, how I show up, how I meditate, how I breathe, and even how I think about what it means to be air
• 1:48
  Lane Kennedy: quote "calm."
• 1:50
  Lane Kennedy: And the title of this podcast is Calm by Lane, right?
• 1:54
  Lane Kennedy: Calm by Lane.
• 1:55
  Lane Kennedy: And I chose that because I want you to understand that calm...
• 2:00
  Lane Kennedy: I want you to look at the word calm differently.
• 2:02
  Lane Kennedy: I don't want you to think, "Oh, I have to be calm."
• 2:05
  Lane Kennedy: No.
• 2:07
  Lane Kennedy: I want you to see things differently, so that's why I chose the word Calm By Lane, because I really want that to make an impact on you, that we're not here to be calm.
• 2:17
  Lane Kennedy: We're here to be flexible in our world.
• 2:19
  Lane Kennedy: I could have named it Flexible By Lane.
• 2:21
  Lane Kennedy: I don't know.
• 2:21
  Lane Kennedy: that doesn't sound right though.
• 2:23
  Lane Kennedy: Anyways, so I created this podcast for someone who perhaps is stressed out and knows it, but also for somebody who has no idea, like me, high-functioning.
• 2:34
  Lane Kennedy: I was a high-functioning stress addict, for real, and it was normal, and maybe you're like that too.
• 2:41
  Lane Kennedy: Maybe you're exhausted and you can't settle.
• 2:44
  Lane Kennedy: You wake up in the middle of the night and your body and your brain is, going.
• 2:47
  Lane Kennedy: you reach overwhelm quickly.
• 2:50
  Lane Kennedy: You're-- And here's like you, you're burnt out or your leg is constantly shaking or you're twitching, like you're twiddling, twitching your leg.
• 2:58
  Lane Kennedy: there's, little things that I can look back at my life now and go, "Oh yeah," like my body was signaling to me constantly, and I just kept moving through.
• 3:06
  Lane Kennedy: I kept going to the gym and working out and having Celsius and doing all the things.
• 3:11
  Lane Kennedy: but maybe, you've hit that wall and you're s- like, "I don't feel like myself anymore."
• 3:16
  Lane Kennedy: and maybe you've gotten to chronic illness.
• 3:18
  Lane Kennedy: Maybe you're in long COVID, right?
• 3:20
  Lane Kennedy: Like I am dealing with long COVID and chronic fatigue.
• 3:24
  Lane Kennedy: But again, all of that is a part of being.
• 3:32
  Lane Kennedy: And this episode, this show could be for you, and maybe there's nothing technically wrong with you at all.
• 3:38
  Lane Kennedy: Maybe you're good and you just want to learn more about stress.
• 3:42
  Lane Kennedy: Or maybe you have somebody in your life that has long COVID or has chronic fatigue or...
• 3:49
  Lane Kennedy: There's so many things I don't want Calm by Lane to be different from the endless conversations about how to fix your nervous system.
• 3:55
  Lane Kennedy: There are so many great people out there that can, talk to you or talk at you about fixing your nervous system.
• 4:03
  Lane Kennedy: My job here and my goal with this little podcast is to share with you my experience, which is a lived experience, and that I've also been teaching for many years.
• 4:13
  Lane Kennedy: For you to discover how to regulate, how to live with an activation, how to breathe in a healthy nervous system, how you can be flexible, how you can go from being excited to focused, to being, energetic to chill.
• 4:33
  Lane Kennedy: This flexibility and the capacity is where I want you to start moving towards.
• 4:40
  Lane Kennedy: So we're gonna talk about meditation, yes, breathwork, yes, somatics, yes, open focus, burnout, fatigue, homeostasis, my favorite thing to talk about, nutrition.
• 4:49
  Lane Kennedy: We're talking about phones and relationships, boundaries, a lack of boundaries.
• 4:52
  Lane Kennedy: all of the things that put pressure on the nervous system.
• 4:57
  Lane Kennedy: But most importantly, we're gonna practice, and we're gonna practice together.
• 5:00
  Lane Kennedy: I'm gonna be bringing you weekly practices.
• 5:04
  Lane Kennedy: That is key.
• 5:06
  Lane Kennedy: I'm not gonna micromanage you or how you do everything, but I'm just gonna, again, share my lived experience and the practices that I teach weekly in person.
• 5:16
  Lane Kennedy: So I hope that this will resonate with you.
• 5:18
  Lane Kennedy: I'll have new episodes weekly that come out.
• 5:22
