In this episode of Authentically Connected, join me in a gentle exploration of Polyvagal Theory — the science of how our nervous system moves between safety, stress, and shutdown. I'll explain how to map your own “ladder,” understand your body’s signals, and find your way back to connection. From the wandering vagus nerve to the power of co-regulation and tiny steps out of overwhelm, this episode is a hopeful guide to reshaping your inner world one nervous-system moment at a time. Let this be an invitation to listen inward and rediscover your own rhythm of regulation.
