The Happy Nervous System
A happy nervous system is a happy life.
This isn’t your typical mental health podcast. We’re throwing out dusty textbook advice and getting real about what your body actually needs to feel more regulated, more powerful, and more alive!
Hosted by therapist and nervous system translator Kendra Delahooke, whose work bridges clinical insight with real-life tools to get you unstuck.
She’s the founder of Child Therapy Center LA and she’s on a mission to raise a generation of kids who don’t have to recover from childhood.
Each episode unpacks why so many techniques in therapy, parenting, and relationships fall short—and what your nervous system has been craving instead.
If you’ve ever wondered why you know better but can’t do better… this show is your missing link.

The Happy Nervous System
Episode 21: The Power of Pleasure and Why We Need More of It
What do you think of when you hear the word pleasure? Does it register as a dirty word? Do you seek pleasure in private? Do you talk about pleasure with others? In this episode, I will convince you why pleasure is not just a luxury AND why it is not a dirty word. Allowing pleasure into your life is part of a healthy nervous system and can effectively shift our nervous system from a state of threat to a state of safety. If you struggle with chronic stress or anxiety, I provide several strategies (at the end of the episode) to easily implement more pleasure into your life. Enjoy!
