Does life have you in contant states of stress and anxiety? Did you know that your nervous system elicits these states NOT your mind? That your nervous system has been programmed by your life's experiences? That life traumas lead to a 'dysregulated' nervous system that leave you in states of stress, anxiety and even chronic illness? That our culture is made up of dysregulation? That your nervous system profoundly affects purpose and relationships.   Sarah Baldwin, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma-trained Life Coach is back for part two to teach us how you can reprogram and regulate your nervous system for relief. How somatic tools such as swaying, tapping and even playing music can regulate your nervous system and how proximity to others who are dysregulated can dysregulate you. She also breaks down the three states we enter in times of stress and how our states create our story (NOT vice versa) as well as somatic boundaries vs. normal boundaries.   If you're looking for a system reboot, to be a

All of these reactions are our nervous systems talking to us!   Today we have Sarah Baldwin, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma-Trained Life Coach breaking down our nervous systems and the different states of dysregulation, which state you could live in most and then how to best heal your nervous systems and become regulated.    We talk: -How trauma gets stored in our bodies & how to heal trauma -The benefit of somatic therapy & what somatic therapy actually is -A breakdown of how our autonomic nervous systems work  -Neuroception: what it is & how it protects us -The three states of dysregulation -The three states of regulation -Tips and tricks on how to get regulated -The best ways to get out of the “freeze” state   To find out which state of

The healthiest way to apply 'ima do me'? Your valuable 'life data', how to collect it and why it's your best means to wellness and fulfillment. The purpose(s) in your job you don't realize and how realizing it will be the difference. Three simple. easy ways to alleviate stress. The most precious life commodity we all take for granted - hint - it's NOT money! Have a great week Heal Squad!

We interrupt Kelsey's Burfday weekend with breaking news: Robert the Robber, the perp who has been breaking and entering into our studios, was caught and confronted by Keven early this morning. Tune in to hear if "Robert" received his comeuppance as well as learn his real name, criminal past and motivations. Did Keven take the high road, the low road or the road to comedy? For those following the saga, only Pot Luck Saturday has the scoop.  

If You Were Born Yesterday or on yesterday's date, you would share a birthday with Dr. Suess, Rebel Wilson, the King of Scotland, Pope Pius and...Heal Squad producer and RGF Host Kelsea! Yes it's a special RGF 'Burfday Edition'. Does astrology factor into who you are as a person? Do oracle cards work? We put them to the test on Kelsey. What is the 'ick' factor and why is it plaguing our youth? The struggles young people have with perfectionism, how they have been set up for disappointment, how that disappointment is magnified by your 30's and what can be done to ascend beyond it. Happy Burfday Kelsey. Stay #Krisp. Bye Betches.
