Finding Flow State
This is Finding Flow State—the podcast for deep feelers and high performers who are done with toxic positivity, hustle culture, and surface-level self-help.
Hosted by trauma-informed performance coach Steph Ellen, each episode is a no-BS deep dive into the nervous system, subconscious mind, and the messy, magical process of thriving as a highly sensitive high achiever.
You’ll learn practical tools from somatic psychology, neuroscience, shadow work, and subconscious reprogramming to regulate your nervous system, heal from the inside out, and build the kind of embodied resilience that doesn’t rely on white-knuckling your way through life (sorry David Goggins)
Because sensitivity isn’t a flaw—it’s a portal to power. And your healing doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.

in today’s nervous system literacy series, we’re diving into hypervigilance — that constant state of alert that can leave you exhausted, anxious, or people-pleasing without even realizing it. hypervigilance is a survival response, and depending on your nervous system wiring, it can show up as defensiveness, fawning, or a quiet internal buzz while you appear calm. i’ll walk you through how hypervigilance shows up in your body and mind, the polyvagal science behind it, and practical ways to start creating safety and shifting your nervous system without forcing yourself to relax.
