Chronic stress affects the nervous system and also explains why so many people live in a constant fight-or-flight response. This discussion explores the role of the vagus nerve in regulating key systems in the body, including heart rate, breathing, digestion, and stress hormones.

We talk about body acceptance, rebuilding strength safely, honoring womanhood, and understanding matrescence as a powerful transformation — not something to rush through. This episode closes the series by encouraging mothers to release comparison, find their own journey and path forward, and create their own version of strength on the other side of motherhood.
