5. Recognize that emotions are simply energy moving through you and that you have the capacity to hold and process them.
6. Practice staying present in the moment, focusing on the here and now rather than getting caught up in past or future concerns.

By incorporating body scanning into your self-care routine, you can cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and build resilience in the face of life's challenges.

This meditation episode introduced you to the practice of body scanning as a powerful tool for overcoming overwhelm and reconnecting with the present moment.

This episode is a powerful somatic practice of centering designed to help overwhelmed moms find their center amidst the chaos of daily life. Whether you're dealing with overstimulation from the kids, riding an emotional rollercoaster, or navigating conflicts, this practice offers a simple yet effective way to ground yourself and regain stability.

Embodied Centering practice:

1. Notice when you feel off-centered or overwhelmed during the day.
2. Ground yourself by feeling all four corners of your feet pressing into the ground.
3. Find your height and length, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
4. Locate your center of gravity, usually along your belly, and explore micro movements to stabilize it.
5. Feel into the depth of your body, from the front to the back, and from side to side.
6. Connect with your purpose and what matters to you, allowing it to fill the space of your body.
7. Practice purposefully moving off balance and finding your center, even in moments of imbalance.

By integrating this somatic practice into your daily routine, you can cultivate a sense of calm and resilience, empowering yourself to navigate the challenges of motherhood with grace and presence.

Grappling with fears, uncertainties, and the sheer weight of love, Camille discovered pathways that help navigate the complexities of her role as a mom. In an intimate chat with Camille, a diversity, equity, and inclusion facilitator, we share her poignant story of motherhood. She shares about her daughter's heart condition and likely Down syndrome diagnosis and how somatic experiencing has become a lifeline amid the storm for her in motherhood.

Camille's candor sheds light on the struggle against shame and toxic positivity, teaching us the art of staying grounded in the present while acknowledging a spectrum of emotions.

Camille teaches us how she felt and found safety even in moments and seasons where it would have been easy to live in fear and constriction, bracing for future pain and griefs.

Discover through Camille's experiences how motherhood's vulnerabilities can be met with resilience. We discuss self-care in the face of a child's medical diagnoses and the significance of self-attunement for sustaining our capacity to care. The conversation further delves into the emotional rollercoasters of motherhood, the fluctuating tides of grief, and the empowerment found in acknowledging life's inherent uncertainties.

There is so much out there right now around nervous system regulation and so much of it is about how to calm yourself down, essentially how to be peaceful or regulated, and a lot of it is like breathing and calming yourself down, and it feels like just another way that women are trying to control their natural, healthy responses.

I don’t think your anger, rage, anxiousness, or dysregulation is a problem we need to fix with control. And the more we try to shame or repress these nervous system responses- the more exhausted and dysregulated we typically become.

Has anyone ever told you to calm down when you were upset? To not worry about something when you were in an anxiety attack?

Did that make you actually feel better or worse? This is what so many of us are trying to do with the tool of “nervous system regulation”

To regulate your nervous system, we don’t need to control or suppress it, we get to relate to it and work with it. We can learn to move and work with it, not against it.

This is what actually helps us feel and act better. It’s how we create a nervous system that is responsive and not just stuck in trauma triggers or the emotional roller coaster. In this episode I'll teach you to work with your somatic nervous system, your animal body, and your emotional intelligence to be able to feel your agency, choice, and safey. I'll teach you to work with your nervous system and not against it.

Want to learn how your nervous system is impacting your boundaries?
