In this episode of Mom on the Verge, we’re diving into the connection between our nervous system states and how we show up in our lives. When we’re stuck in survival mode—constantly in fight-or-flight—it can be nearly impossible to access our inner wisdom and align with our Dharma. But when we regulate our nervous system and shift into a calm, balanced state, we unlock creativity, intuition, and a deeper connection to our purpose.Katie breaks down what it means to live in fight-or-flight versus rest-and-digest mode and shares how this affects everything from our relationships to our spiritual journey. Plus, stick around for a guided breathwork exercise (4-7-8 Breathing) designed to help you calm your nervous system and shift into a state of ease and alignment. This simple technique is a powerful tool for everyday stress relief and will help you reconnect with your higher self, even in the midst of chaos.Whether you’re navigating stress, searching for purpose, or just wanting to deepen your sense of peace and presence, this episode is packed with insight and practical tools for your journey.
