In this conversation, Danielle, host of the Feeling and Healing Podcast sits down with me for a fun discussion about the brain, nervous system, and the journey of healing our deepest wounds. We even talk about how dating is like a box of chocolates.

🧠 What We Cover:

- How our brains default to survival mode in our overstimulated world

- The science behind triggers and what they reveal about our beliefs

- Understanding neural pathways and how to rewire limiting beliefs

- Why our emotional brain moves faster than our logical brain

- The difference between reacting and responding

- Attachment styles and how early childhood experiences shape our adult relationships

- The power of inner child work in developing self-compassion

- How shame keeps us in survival mode and dysregulates our nervous system

- Why loving yourself is the key to calming your amygdala

💡 Key Takeaways:

- Self-compassion and connecting with your inner child can transform your relationship with yourself
