    Why Your Nervous System Is Still in Survival Mode (And Why That’s Okay)
    Jan 10 2026

    In this first episode of Science With a Regulated Heart, we explore why your nervous system may still be in survival mode and why that does not mean anything is wrong with you. You will learn what survival mode really is, how chronic stress and life experiences shape the nervous system, and why calming the body is not about fixing yourself. This episode offers simple science, reassurance, and a gentle grounding practice to help you begin creating more safety and regulation.
