Season 2, Episode 6: Joy Rewire: The Vagus Reset

JOY Unfiltered: Choose Joy on Purpose · Oct 14, 2026 · 12m

Stress climbing? This Joy Rewire gives you a simple, guided practice to tell your brain you’re safe, using your favorite new nerve: the vagus nerve.

In this episode:

Box breathing, the four-count rhythm Navy SEALs use to stay steady

The long exhale that presses the brake pedal on stress

Why humming is a secret calm-down tool

A 30-second version you can do anywhere, even mid-dinner

This week’s challenge: Pick one moment today to use The Vagus Reset, then tell Rachel how it felt.

“Rewiring is about reps, not perfection.”
