The state of our nervous system influences how 'at home' we feel in our body. When we're feeling stressed and anxious we often look outside of ourselves to try and feel better. We might try to control the stress in our life, which isn't always easy to do, or turn to unhelpful coping strategies to help us relax and feel more regulated. Today's episode reveals a better way.  In this conversation globally renowned nervous system educator Jessica Maguire teaches us nervous system fundamentals, what influences the state of our nervous system, how we can coax our nervous system back to a more regulated state using different strategies and more. Jessica helps us understand what's underneath the symptoms we feel and why we respond in different circumstances the way we do. We talk about anxiety, people pleasing, parenting, the Vagus Nerve and how we can repair our own nervous system over time.    ABOUT JODI: Jodi is a speaker, educator, and bestselling author specialising in anxiety and well-being.
