309: Letting My Groans Out — and the Deeper Nervous System Work I'm Doing Now
Sun Feb 01 2026
In episode 308, I shared my practice of "letting my groans out" — a practice I've been doing for nearly a decade to release stress, unwind tension, and support deeper sleep. Today, I'm going deeper into the whole origin story from my 30s, plus giving you the play-by-play on the nervous system work I'm doing today.
Specifically, I share:
A modality called Network Spinal Analysis and how it opened my eyes to the body's capacity to release stored emotion through sound, breath, and spontaneous movement.
How I've continued following subtle breadcrumbs toward deeper nervous system regulation over the years.
What's shifted for me in the last six months since working with a practitioner focused on holistic biomechanics — and how this deeper rewiring has reduced my anxiety and changed how I relate to my body day to day. If you've been curious about nervous system work — or feel there might be something deeper available beyond tools and techniques — this episode offers an intimate peek at what my experience has been.
And if you want more reflections like this, you can join me over on Substack at THIS SEASON → blairbadenhop.substack.com
