Have you been feeling scattered lately?

There is so much pain and tragedy in the world, and yet I know we are all still trying to go about our days getting our tasks done, being a calming presence for the many people in our lives, and smiling as we pass one another on the street or in the grocery store.

How can we hold both?

Just this morning, as I walked around Lake McIntosh with a friend of mine (who happens to be Jewish), we spoke about all the upheaval in the world and how it is impacting her Israeli family, while we also noticed the majesty of the perfectly serene lake reflecting the stunning freshly snow-covered Longs Peak.

While living with opposing feelings might feel strange, toggling between opposing emotions and giving ourselves permission to feel it all is the most healing path.

As many of you know, I took a short pause from my podcast early this spring so I could focus on the completion of my manuscript (which is heading into production as we speak), and I have been saving this next episode for you since then.

What is so timely is that in the interview that I am finally sharing with you today, Stephanie Mara Fox and I talk all about cultivating a calm and grounded relationship with self through the lens of food, the nervous system, and Polyvagal Theory.

What would the world feel like if we could all be operating from a more calm, grounded, and regulated nervous system?
