Calm Your Nervous System
Calm Your Nervous System is a podcast designed to help you not only calm, but more importantly learn to regulate your nervous system!
I’m your host, Jenny Adams, a somatic coach who has recovered from debilitating ME/CFS and trauma.
Each episode, I'll be discussing a different topic and journey (sometimes with a special guest!) about how people are healing their nervous systems. We're here to share tips, stories and debunk jargon (what is somatics anyway?!) about how you can heal your nervous system so you don’t have to live with chronic illness, burnout or debilitating trauma for the rest of your life.
When we learn to regulate our nervous systems, we become better partners, parents, workers, friends and better human beings!
Listen up if you have a chronic illness, burnout, stress, migraines, chronic pain, ADHD or trauma and want to live a joyFULL and balanced life!

How Mike Watts Overcame Years of Chronic Skin Issues and Found Balance in His Life | Episode 5
Men can often find it much harder to open up and be vulnerable with others than women do, but have you ever considered how this could impact them when they find themselves struggling with a chronic illness? Diving into this topic and so much more with me is Mike Watts, the co-founder of an online educational company with his wife, Kate Northrup, whose mission is to help women create a better relationship with money, sex and power. Mike also shares his experience with being hit by a car and how stress set off a chronic skin condition that took him years to overcome.
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
- The impact stress had on Mike and how it triggered a chronic illness
- Balancing work, life and health and why you need to know the limit of what your health will allow you to do
- How men’s healing journey is different to women’s
- Opening up to others, being vulnerable and asking for support
