86. Mini Podcast - Understanding Polyvagal Theory: How to Calm Your Body and Reconnect With Yourself
Your nervous system is the command center for how you feel, safety, stress, connection, even joy all start here.
In this powerful mini episode, Kate takes you deeper into Polyvagal Theory, the science of how your body responds to stress and safety, and how learning this language can change the way you relate to yourself and the world around you.
Building on insights from Dr. Navaz Habib and Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Susan and Kate break down the three core states of the nervous system, how to recognize when you’re stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, and the simple ways to come back home to balance.
In this episode:
- What “polyvagal” really means and how it affects your daily life
- The difference between dorsal, sympathetic, and ventral vagal states
- How to know when you’re dysregulated (and what to do about it)
- Practical tools like breathwork and awareness to restore calm and flow
Whether you’re healing from stress, deepening self-awareness, or simply curious about how to regulate your body and mind, this is a must-listen for understanding yourself on a whole new level.
