403 - 7 Everyday Habits That Dysregulate Your Nervous System (and What to Do Instead)

Michelle Grosser – Inspired by Mel Robbins, Rachel Hollis & Dr. Becky Kennedy Episode 403

Have you ever noticed that the things quietly wearing you down aren’t the big crises—but the tiny, constant ones?

The ones that slip through your calendar, your habits, your pace?

In this episode, we’re unpacking seven small but powerful habits that keep your nervous system stuck in quiet survival mode—and what to do instead. Because it’s not always the obvious stressors that lead to burnout; it’s the micro-stressors you’ve normalized.

You’ll learn:

  •  ✔️ How habits like overthinking, rushing, and suppressing emotion subtly dysregulate your body
  •  ✔️ Why overstimulation, caffeine-wine loops, and ignoring your body’s cues keep you running on fumes
  •  ✔️ The neuroscience behind micro-stress and the cumulative toll it takes on your system
  •  ✔️ Seven practical, body-based shifts to bring your nervous system back into calm and safety

💡 True healing doesn’t always come from the big breakthroughs. It often starts in the quiet, everyday moments—the way you breathe between meetings, the way you move through your mornings, the way you listen to your body’s cues.

This episode will help you identify where stress hides, and how to start reclaiming your peace—one gentle, grounded habit at a time.
