In this episode of the MindBodyBusiness Podcast, Jane Bellante explores what it actually means to integrate nature, nervous system regulation, energetics, and embodiment into identity and manifestation work. This is a conversation about moving beyond mindset-only change and understanding how the body, environment, and physiology shape who we’re being—and therefore what we’re creating. Jane shares why she recently became certified in ocean therapy, how forest therapy deepens attention and perception, and why nature plays a central role in nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and sustainable expansion. This episode is an invitation to step out of the illusion of hustle, perfectionism, comparison, and constant performance—and reconnect with what is real, steady, and regulating. What You’ll Hear in This Episode Why identity change isn’t just mental—and why the body has to feel safe enough to hold new beliefs How ocean therapy shifts brainwaves, breathing, and nervous system state Why forest environments naturally expand attention and perception The difference between trying to “change beliefs” and regulating the system that keeps recreating patterns How constant comparison, overthinking, and perfectionism keep the body in fight-or-flight Why mindset alone rarely creates lasting change How nature helps dissolve performance and creates genuine presence The cost of living inside the illusion of hustle, validation, and constant proving Why slowing down is not avoidance—it’s regulation An invitation to step out of perfectionism and show up as you actually are Key Themes This episode weaves together: Identity and embodiment Nervous system regulation Nature as a physiological recalibration tool Ocean and forest therapy Perception, attention, and presence Letting go of illusion, performance, and hustle Podcast Partners & Resources Jane also shares about the incredible partners who support the podcast and are part of her mastermind community: 🌿 Tendril & Thistle Tendril & Thistle creates handcrafted self-care invitations using pure essential oil blends and naturally derived ingredients.

Nature brings us back to reality. It slows the body. It shifts perception. And when perception changes, identity begins to change too.
