What if the reason you feel overwhelmed is not your schedule, but your nervous system?

In this powerful and science-backed conversation, Dr. Ashlyn Schwartz, public health expert and founder of The Collective OM, breaks down the real connection between stress, identity, trauma, and long-term health.

In this episode, we explore:

If you are high-performing on the outside but chaotic on the inside, this conversation is your reset.

Because balance is not about doing less. It is about regulating better.
