Have you ever noticed how quickly stress escalates? One moment you feel fine… and the next your body is tense, your thoughts are spiraling, and you can’t seem to calm yourself down.

In this episode of Roots of the Rise, Sarah Hope explores why stress lives in the body—not just the mind—and why learning to regulate your nervous system can completely change the way you experience overwhelm, anxiety, conflict, and connection with the people you love.

You’ll learn simple, practical tools to help interrupt stress before it spirals, including:

• grounding practices
• breathwork and the physiological sigh
• progressive muscle relaxation
• nervous system regulation
• ways to stop looping thoughts and overthinking
• how to reconnect to the present moment when triggered or overwhelmed

This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to think your way out of stress.
Body first. Mind second.

If you’d like to go deeper, Sarah also shares a guided progressive muscle relaxation practice inside the Rising with Sarah membership.
