Candid Coaching

This week, I learned something in a class—and then lived it in real time. Our nervous system state shapes the stories we tell ourselves. When we’re hungry, tired, overwhelmed, or dysregulated, the story we believe can sound incredibly convincing… even when it isn’t true. In this episode, I share a personal moment that turned into a powerful lesson about triggers, old programming, and how our bodies try to protect us. We talk about why judgment makes us rigid, why flexibility creates resilience, and how curiosity helps us move through emotional reactions instead of getting stuck in them. You’ll learn: Why story follows nervous system state How triggers are opportunities for awareness, not failure Questions to gently ask your body when you’re activated Why regulation comes before reflection How flexibility makes you stronger than rigidity This isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness, curiosity, and the courage to pause and listen. If you’re ready to work with your nervous system in a safe, nonjudgmental space, I’d love to support you.
