- 0:47SPEAKER_00: So, as promised, we are back with another little mini episode.
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: Today we are talking about the nervous system.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: Honestly, partly because I talk about the nervous system a lot, and when this is gonna be like your short quick episode for you to really understand the importance.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Your nervous system runs the show, it runs so many things.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: And when your nervous system is filled up in a bad way, then it goes into a frenzy, and this can manifest as so many different physical symptoms.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Honestly, this episode would be like 30 minutes long if I were to list all the symptoms that are linked to your nervous system, think gut, anxiety, depression, hormones-pretty much you name it, and I can definitely link it back to the nervous system.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: And what happens is I'm gonna try to talk slow.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: You guys know when I get passionate, I talk fast, so I'm gonna slow it down for you guys.
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: When you have not processed the trauma in your body.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: Now, if you haven't listened to my What is Trauma episode, please go back and listen to that.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: But trauma does not have to be, you know, you witnessing something particularly horrific or abuse, though it can be.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: Trauma is also, you know, dad never saying he was proud of you, or mom working a lot, and you know, so there she wasn't around, or you know, your parents getting divorced, all of these things are trauma.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: And what happens is that your nervous system has a certain capacity, right?
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: You hear me talk about expanding your nervous system, your nervous system has a certain capacity, and when that capacity has filled up too much from childhood experiences, from whatever maybe there's some bullying in middle school or high school, all of these things, once the cup gets filled, it overfulls, and your body gets stuck in what is called the fight or flight response, which is basically the response we do not want to be in unless it's very short term and we're basically running from a tiger.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: But your body doesn't know the difference between running from a tiger and dad never saying, you know, he loved you, he was proud of you.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: So your body keeps reacting like it's still running from that tiger.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: So if we were to go back and think about all the little incidences that might have sent you into a fight or flight response, you know, even think about that the first day of school, that nervousness, that's a fight or flight response.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: All of these things add up.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: And when you don't process them and you don't finish the cycle, the nervous system is still trying to play catch-up from the stuff that happened to you when you were five years old.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: So it's no wonder at 25 you have horrible gut health and you know, pain or maybe anxiety, depression, whatever it is, because your nervous system is still filled with all of those past experiences, right?
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: So it's not just major trauma.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: This is something that I really want you to understand.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: Your nervous system is integral to pretty much every function in the body.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: Because when your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, it's not sending things for digestion, all right?
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: It's not focused on producing enough enzymes, it's not focused on digesting your food because it thinks it's running from a tiger.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: So it's not gonna focus on that, which means gut health issues, bloating, SIBO, leaky gut, constipation or diarrhea, so many different things.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Your hormones, it's not gonna be focused on balancing and making sure we're making proper amounts of the right hormones.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: So that's gonna look like PMS, endometriosis, fertility issues.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: You know, it's gonna look like trouble conceiving.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: I think I said fertility issues, but like trouble conceiving because your body is stuck in fight or flight.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: Your body does not want to house a baby if you're stuck in fight or flight, which means you need to expand and calm your nervous system and rewire it so that it stops pro like it actually finishes the process of all these traumas and it's no longer reacting to it.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that life wasn't always this way.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: I didn't always have this life.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: I struggled physically out of fear of being seen, negative self-talk, a scarcity mindset, you name it.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: And I would look at others and wanted the life that they had.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: And I knew deep down it was possible.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: I could feel it.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: And by the way, if you desire it, then that means it is a sign that it is possible for you.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: No matter what, I was gonna figure it out and I did.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: And now I glow.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and somehow this life almost doesn't feel real, but yet it's exactly as it should be.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: Like, holy shit, but also, of course.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: Because I choose, and you get to have it all the home, the love, the relationships, friendships, job, life.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: Life truly glows when you allow yourself to receive and you become the embodiment of that woman.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: It's a choice.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: I choose.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: I choose over and over again to trust deeper.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: There is no secret to this, it is about refining your alignment over and over again as you evolve.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: It doesn't logically make sense, and it's not supposed to.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: You go beyond what logically makes sense, and that's where miracles happen, and that's where you quantum leap.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: Your heart knows before your brain does, and that's the world that I play in.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: We aren't looking for logic, we are looking for magic.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: And that's what my clients will tell you that their results don't make sense and that they're magic.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: And what I tell them is that is the world you get to live in.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: That is where limitless lives.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: And on the other side of that deep trust beyond logic is where your heart's desires live.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: That's when you glow physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be working with the four bodies to integrate this on a cellular level inside glow.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: Four weeks, four calls, four bodies, a hybrid of healing and activation, plus a telegram group magic.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: So if you are ready for all of this, then sign up from the link in the description and DM me any questions on Instagram.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: I am over the moon excited for this, honestly, because we're all meant to glow.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: If it's available to me, it is available to you.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: And it is my mission to lead more good-hearted women in this so that they get the life of their dreams.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: So I will see you inside glow.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: Your nervous is also really important for blood sugar regulation, right?
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: Like your insulin response.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: If you are your body's perceiving that you're constantly running from a saber-toothed tiger, its blood sugar is not gonna, you know, be balanced because that's not its focus.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna lose weight.
- 7:06SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Because it's in a fight or flight, so it's in it's not feeling safe.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: When we're not feeling safe, it's gonna pack on weight as a cushion from you in the outside world, right?
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: And then let's add on maybe some yo-yo dieting, some binge eating, some restriction, stress of like everyday work.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're also a parent, or you know, the demands of your job is stressful, whatever it is.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: And the thing is, we can't avoid stresses in life.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: This is not what this episode is about.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: It's not about me saying, hey, you gotta try to avoid these, but it's about expanding your nervous system and being able to process through these moments so that it no longer runs the show.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: So many people have not been taught to regulate their nervous system, and they're not setting boundaries, and they're overthinking, over worrying, and then all their physical symptoms just make this so much worse because they're you're not feeling good physically, and I've been there.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: When I was chronically fatigued with bloating acne, and like literally not oh, you can hear Kashi, literally not enough energy to get out of bed.
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, obviously it was very hard to feel good.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: Your nervous system is key to having a healthy body, a healthy mind, healthy relationships.
- 8:21SPEAKER_00: Because let's let's I'm trying to pull up examples so you guys can see how your nervous system affects all areas of your life.
- 8:27SPEAKER_00: If you have abandonment issues or rejection issues from your parents, mom wasn't there, dad wasn't there, or they smothered you too much, or there's they just did not give you what you needed, right?
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: And that's gonna show up in your relationships now.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: And then overthinking and overworry is gonna spike your cortisol.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: When we spike cortisol, we store fat, slash maybe we also lose our cycles, then we get anxious, then we have gut health issues, and it all spirals, right?
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: So we can see how how mom and dad treated you, and or rather your perception of how they treated you.
- 8:59SPEAKER_00: Let me correct that, your perception affects your nervous system, which affects your marriage right now or your relationships.
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: It affects how you show up at work, it affects how you feel in your body, all of this stuff.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: Essentially, if you want to heal your life, you need to heal your nervous system and you need to allow it to feel calm, unless, of course, there is actually like an adrenaline march that you need, like if you're running from a saber-toothed tiger.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: But day to day, we are not running from a saber-toothed tiger.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately, the last two years, if anything, has made people's nervous systems worse, right?
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: So, this is my message to you that if you have not done nervous system work, please, please work on your nervous system.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: This is key.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: This is precisely why I do what I do.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: Because when your nervous system is jacked, I'm sorry, like you can take lots of supplements, yes.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: And do not get me wrong, glycine, ashwagandha, great things.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: Is there a supplement out there that is going to rewire your trauma and release it?
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: No.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: Because I tried that.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: My nervous system was jacked.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on very good quality supplements, and there is a time and place, and they can take the edge off slightly and be semi-helpful.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you, they did not help all the way.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: They made it through I could so I could function so that I could get through med school and like run a business somewhat, even though I was still feeling shitty.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: At least I could like somewhat get through life, luckily.
- 10:32SPEAKER_00: But it's not, there isn't enough like Ashwagandhana in the world that is going to rewire and heal your nervous system.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: Please, please, please work on your nervous system every single day.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: If you're not sure where to start, just send me a message on Instagram.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: But it's very important for you to understand that your nervous system runs this show.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: Alright, I'm trying to think if there's anything else that I want to say about your nervous system.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: I want to keep this short and sweet.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: No, you know what?
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: That is, I think, perfect.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: Let's go ahead and keep it there.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: Your nervous system runs the show.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: This is your reminder that it dictates everything.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: It dictates your perceptions of the world, it dictates how you show up in your work or your job, it dictates your relationship with money, it dictates how you show up in your romantic relationships, your friendships, it dictates how you feel in your body, it dictates how your body physically feels on a day to day basis.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: So if you are struggling in any way, let me know and we will find a container that works for you.
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: And I will see you guys in the next mini sode.
