Have you ever felt like no matter how much you rest, your body just won’t switch off? Like you’re running on empty, but somehow still buzzing inside?

In this heartfelt episode of Life Musings ~ The Wholesome Wanderers – podcast with Dannyelle & James, we’re unpacking cortisol — your body’s main stress hormone — and how it plays a role in those wired, frazzled, and overwhelmed states so many of us find ourselves in.

Drawing from our own lived experiences — from early parenting and bus breakdowns to navigating life on the road, parenting neurodivergent kids, and rebuilding after loss — we explore:

• What cortisol actually is, in down-to-earth terms
• Why chronic stress keeps your body stuck in “on” mode What it feels like when your nervous system is in survival mode
• How we personally support our nervous systems during high-stress seasons
• Holistic tools you can begin using right away — breath, creativity, grounding, and more
• A gentle guided breathing practice to help you reconnect

We also share why working with a holistic practitioner can be a game-changer when it comes to creating sustainable, lasting change — and how we support clients through nervous system recovery, emotional regulation, and finding their way back to steadiness and self-trust.

If you’re ready for more ease, presence, and support — this one’s for you.

In this episode we explore a FAQ's topic, "How do we educate our children". We discuss how we are registered with the QLD Home Ed department, our plan and reporting process while we have an unschooling approach. We also chat about how we have developed our trust in the unschooling process and changing our perspective of what education really is and that children will learn what they need to learn when they need to learn it.
