Unlock the secrets of nervous system regulation + change how you move through your day with renowned somatic educator Nahid de Belgeonne. In this episode, Nahid joins K+L for a refreshing conversation about high-achiever anxiety, burnout, and how the body stores stress + emotions.  Nahid explains the connection between movement, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity, including subtle signs your body may be dysregulated + what to do when stress takes over. She breaks down why “thinking positive” often falls short + how small shifts can create lasting change.  You’ll also learn simple, accessible tools—from breathwork to body awareness practices—that help you tune into your subconscious signals, regulate your nervous system, and feel safer, calmer, and more present in your day-to-day life. We also talk about: What nervous system regulation actually means + why it matters   Recognizing + realigning patterns of overachieving + perfectionism   The powerful link between anxiety, posture, and chronic tension   How to unlearn old survival mechanisms + rewire your response to stress   The limitations of “self-care” trends + where they go wrong   Social media’s impact on our bodies, mental health, and sense of self   Why the body, not just the mind, holds the key to healing   Parenting, tech, and the “regulated caregiver” in modern times   The difference between talk therapy + somatic release—and why both are needed   Beginner-friendly movement + breathing practices you can do today to feel better fast Resources: FREE 20 minute somatic repatterning: https://www.thehumanmethod.co.uk//payment?product_id=10-minute-somatic-lesson-free&type=course Join the Newsletter – Receive weekly strategies to build capacity without bracing: https://nahiddebelgeonne.substack.com/ The Soothe Week: Greece 2026 – A full week in the sunshine to repattern in real time: https://www.thehumanmethod.co.uk/thesootheweekinlefkadagreece Soothe, Restoring Your Nervous System from Stress, Anxiety, Burnout and Trauma:  Soothe by Nahid de Belgeonne: 9780593833636 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books @thehumanmethoduk Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Chime | It just takes a few minutes to sign up.
