In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I emphasise the importance of managing energy and well-being, especially for parents who often feel exhausted and overwhelmed. I discuss the importance of understanding the nervous system, differentiating between the parasympathetic and sympathetic states, and the need for regular relaxation to maintain health. I also get a bit personal and share my journey of healing and self-discovery, highlighting the societal pressures that often lead to neglecting self-care. I’m also inviting you to join a workshop aimed at teaching techniques to regulate the nervous system and encourage you to prioritize their needs to prevent burnout and chronic illness.

Sound bites from this episode:
“Energy is multi-layered. It’s not as simple as do this one thing, then you’ll have more energy.”
“Our nervous system is the key to our wellness. And that’s huge, right? That’s huge.”
“As a parent, our children challenge us and show things up. They hold mirrors up to us about things, about ourselves that we didn’t even know… Parenting’s really opened my ability to heal and it’s opened my capacity to heal.”
“We can do anything, but we can’t do everything.”
“It’s not possible for us to survive if the only time our nervous system gets to relax is in sleep.”
“Wouldn’t it be beautiful to make that decision proactively rather than have it forced upon us in ill health?”
