Why changing the state of your nervous system can change your life (and how to do it)

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, reactive or completely drained isn’t about willpower at all?

Today’s guest has taught me how to recognise what’s happening in my body and stop trying to think my way through everything… and the results have been incredible.

I’ve become more patient, more playful, less in my head and more present with my loved ones. And because of that - my relationships have improved SO much.

I want this for you too - so today I’m chatting with Jay Fields, the coach that taught me how to have a good experience being myself.

Key moments:

0:00 - Why so many women reach midlife feeling exhausted, disconnected and like they’re not enjoying being themselves

10:28 - Why you keep saying yes to things you don’t want to do even when you promised yourself you’d start setting boundaries

19:24 - How to recognise when your body is gearing up for conflict before you even realise it

21:28 - Why constantly staying busy and productive can actually be a sign your body is stuck in stress mode

25:56 - Why some days you feel flat, foggy and completely unmotivated no matter how much you try to push through

29:55 - Why people-pleasing feels automatic and how your body learns to prioritise everyone else over you

32:46 - What it actually feels like when you are calm, clear-headed and fully yourself

37:33 - How to identify the things that reliably bring you back to your most calm and connected self

47:20 - Ways to shift how you feel in your body when you’re overwhelmed, reactive or shut down

1:02:00 - How learning this changes the way you respond to stress, relationships and everyday life
