Ever feel like your heart’s racing before a pitch, your voice cracks during a tough convo, or you just want to scream when your kid won’t put on their shoes? Yeah, same.

This episode is your new emotional reset button.

We’re talking vagus nerve hacks — the real MVP of your nervous system. It’s your biological shortcut to calm, clarity, confidence, and connection whether you're:
1. Pitching in the boardroom
2. Breaking up in a Starbucks parking lot
3. Getting your kids out the door for school
4. Or heading into a first date hoping he doesn’t say, “I live with my emotional support snake, Carl”

From gargling mouthwash in your car to humming Eminem under your breath like a Fortune 500 exec, I’m giving you a cheat code to shift from panic to power — in 60 seconds or less.

You’ll learn:
💡 What the vagus nerve actually does (and why CEOs, FBI agents, and hostage negotiators use it daily)
🧠 How 4-7-8 breathing, cold water, and belly laughs reset your brain and body
🎤 Why Matthew McConaughey’s chest thump in The Wolf of Wall Street is more than a bro-ritual
🚗 How I use a mini bottle of mouthwash before dates to step into feminine flow (yes, really)
👩‍👦‍👦 How humming with my sons secretly regulates their nervous system (and mine too)
💼 How one sales leader used my tip to save a multi-million-dollar account… in the bathroom. With Eminem.

Whether you’re leading a team, raising kids, making million-dollar deals — or just trying not to lose it in traffic — this episode gives you tools to be your own calm.
