  • 5 Signs Your Nervous System is Dysregulated (And How to Finally Heal)

    5 Signs Your Nervous System is Dysregulated (And How to Finally Heal)
    Feb 19 2026
    Bonus: Why exhaustion isn't a badge of honor + Tina's personal story of ignoring the signs until it was almost too late THROWBACK THURSDAY ⏪ Happy Throwback Thursday! Today we're resurfacing one of our MOST-LISTENED-TO episodes because the message is more urgent than ever. Since this originally aired, thousands of you have reached out saying these five signs were the wake-up call you needed. If you're new here, or if you need the reminder, this one's for you. Do you wake up exhausted no matter how much sleep you get? Does your mind race at 3 a.m. while your body feels like it's carrying a hundred pounds of bricks? Here's the truth most people miss: You might not just be "stressed." You might be dysregulated. When your nervous system gets stuck in overdrive, it quietly takes the driver's seat of your entire life, your energy, your emotions, even your physical health. And the scariest part? So many of us dismiss these signs as "normal modern life" when they're actually red flags your body is begging you to notice. In this episode, your host Tina, who had a stroke at 39 from ignored stress and burnout, breaks down: The 5 most common signs your nervous system is screaming for help Why "doing it all" is actually keeping you stuck The real reason you can't turn your brain off at night Simple, gentle practices that actually reset your nervous system (no hours of meditation required) Plus, Tina shares details on her new Gentle Self-Care Nervous System Reset, an intimate coaching experience designed for women who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to feel safe in their bodies again. Now offering in place of this program that is not running at this time, The Inner Sanctuary: A Guided Journey of Breath, Meditation & Journaling In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ The #1 sign your nervous system is dysregulated (that most women ignore) ✅ Why waking up at 3 a.m. is a cortisol red flag ✅ The difference between "normal stress" and something deeper ✅ How micro-moments of self-care rewire your brain (even 5 minutes a day) ✅ Why putting yourself first isn't selfish, it's survival ✅ The connection between unpaid labor, the patriarchy, and women's burnout ✅ What Tina wishes she'd known before her body gave out Key Takeaways 🔹 Exhaustion is not a badge of honor. The amount you do is not proof of your worthiness. You're worthy simply because you're here. 🔹 Balance is like riding a bicycle. It's not a destination you reach, it's a constant, conscious adjustment. You have to keep paying attention. 🔹 Your nervous system isn't broken. It can be reset with simple, consistent practices. Grounding, breathwork, and small daily rituals add up. 🔹 Women's unpaid labor upholds a system that doesn't serve us. If we're worn out and exhausted, we can't step into our power. It's by design. 🔹 Joy and ambition are not opposites. Rest is the fuel that keeps ambition alive without burning you out. 5 Signs Your Nervous System Needs a Reset Racing thoughts or mental fog – Can't turn your mind off OR can't focus at all. Memory feels like Swiss cheese. Poor sleep – Tossing, turning, or waking up at 3 a.m. with that jolt of anxiety (hello, high cortisol). Chronic fatigue – You wake up tired and feel like you're running a marathon all day, every day. Irritability or numbness – Snapping at loved ones OR feeling completely disconnected from your body and life. Physical symptoms – Tension headaches, tight shoulders, upset stomach, shallow breathing, or numbing out with wine, scrolling, or food.

  • A New Way to Live: Using Your Feminine Rage to Build Enduring Communities & Invisible Infrastructure

    A New Way to Live: Using Your Feminine Rage to Build Enduring Communities & Invisible Infrastructure
    Feb 4 2026
    Feeling the heavy weight of burnout, isolation, and a world in crisis? This episode is a practical, powerful response. In this episode we move beyond venting and into building, offering a clear 10-step blueprint for creating what we call a Circle, a small, intergenerational, long-term structure of mutual care for women. This is not a new concept but one that we need right now more than ever before. This isn't a movement or a protest; it's a return to the ancient, matriarchal way women have always organized life. Learn how to withdraw your energy from broken systems and quietly reinvest it into building "invisible infrastructure" with other reliable women. Discover how to form a Circle, set agreements, handle conflict with calm clarity, and create a support system designed to last for decades. It's time to turn your overwhelm and feminine rage into the foundation for a new, sustainable way of living. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The Core Principle: Why withdrawing dependence, not fighting, is the first step to real power. (04:30) What is a Circle? The definition of a small, intergenerational, low-drama group built for replication, not expansion. (06:45) The Blue Zones Inspiration: How the concept of the Okinawan "moai", a lifelong social support group—informs this model for longevity and well-being. (15:20) The 10-Step Framework: Start Small: Why 5-8 women is the ideal "commitment container." (18:10) Invite for Reliability: Who to invite (and who to avoid) based on consistency, not just personality. (19:45) Set Clear Intentions: How to name the purpose of the Circle from the start. (22:30) Embrace Mixed Ages: The critical importance of intergenerational wisdom and stability. (23:15) Create Simple Agreements: The key promises that prevent gossip and build trust. (24:50) Structure Your Meetings: A sample 60-90 minute format focused on practical support and shared topics. (26:10) Build Practical Support Early: From meal trains to emergency funds—how to turn intention into action. (30:05) Handle Conflict the Matriarchal Way: Calm, direct, and focused on patterns, not apologies. (33:00) Scale by Replication: How to grow by splitting Circles, not letting them get too large. (34:40) Think in Decades: Future-oriented questions that solidify long-term commitment. (35:20) How to Invite Someone: A simple, scripted invitation to start the conversation. (36:00) The "Why Women?" Question: Tina's reasoning on why building matriarchal systems must start with women leading together.
