If you’ve ever set intentions with real hope and still found yourself stuck in the same patterns, this episode offers a different explanation: your nervous system has more say over your future than your mindset does.

In this episode, we explore:

• why you can deeply want change and still feel blocked
• how survival patterns quietly override your goals
• why manifesting doesn’t start in your thoughts
• and how building nervous system capacity is what actually makes change feel safe enough to last

There’s also a short guided regulation practice you can use to begin 2026 from the body outward - not from pressure or fantasy.

Gratitude isn’t meant to be a performance - or something you use to override what actually hurts.

In this episode, I explore why forced positivity and gratitude lists often create more pressure than peace, and how somatic (felt) gratitude works differently in the nervous system.

We talk about:

• why your body doesn’t respond to pressure
• how gratitude turns into bypassing without us realising
• and how real gratitude can exist alongside grief, stress and exhaustion

There’s also a short guided somatic gratitude practice you can return to anytime.

This is the same lens I use in my 1:1 resilience coaching (book a free intro call here) and in The Resilience Blueprint (£27). Make sure you're on the list for the 8th Jan Session on Why Your Nervous System Decides What You Can Manifest here.
