Your Body Is Not Failing You: Podcast Episode
I sat down with Joanna Ingram on The Soulful Catalyst Podcast to talk about nervous system regulation, overwhelm, and what it actually takes to come back to yourself when you are already flooded.
This episode is for people who are high functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. You hold it together for everyone else. You can explain what is happening in your body when you are overloaded, but in the moment, you still feel like you are spinning, numb, shut down, angry, or panicked, with no way to slow it down.
If that feels familiar, this conversation is for you.
Who This Episode Is For
Listen, if any of these feel true:
You feel yourself leave your window of tolerance, and you cannot seem to get back in.
Your body reacts faster than your mind can keep up.
You are tired of living in survival mode and calling it “fine.”
You know you need nervous system tools you can use in real life, not just in ideal conditions.
You want support that is practical, respectful, and not built on shame.
If you nodded yes to even one of those, you will get something from this.
What You’ll Get From Listening
In this conversation, we get honest about regulation, overwhelm, and what it means to have a body working to protect you.
You will hear:
Compassionate language for what you are experiencing, so you stop calling yourself “too much.”
A different way to think about your stress response that is not rooted in “try harder.”
How to start building a personal set of nervous system supports that actually work for you.
This is not a quick-fix conversation. It is grounded, nervous-system aware, and built for real life.
If you are looking for calm that does not feel performative, you are in the right place.
Why It Matters
If you've been working on yourself for years and you still feel like something's missing, this conversation might help you see what it is. If you know what you need to do but can't seem to do it when it counts, there's a reason.
And if you're tired of waiting for the perfect moment to feel better, we talked about what it looks like to build your own set of tools that you can actually use when you are shutting down and wanting to disappear from the world, the situation, and yourself.
