Episode 4 - Fight, Flight, Freeze, or F*ck This: Nervous System Basics

Welcome to the first episode of our Nervous System Mini-Series! Today we’re breaking down the basics of your body’s wiring and why it sometimes makes you react like life is way scarier than it really is.

We’ll cover:

• The biology of the nervous system and why it matters

• The different states your body flips between (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, rest, digest)

• How your ancient brain isn’t always built for modern stress

• Why your nervous system sometimes gets it “wrong” — and how to bring it back into balance

• A simple practice you can use to calm yourself down in real time

If you’ve ever thought, “Why the hell am I like this?” — this episode explains it, and more importantly, gives you something easy (and surprisingly fun) to do about it.
