    Is This a Threat… or just a Text Message?

    Have you ever turned your read receipts off so people can’t tell if you’ve read their message? It’s a small choice - but it can set off the nervous system like a fire alarm. The problem is, not every alarm means the house is on fire. Sometimes it’s just burnt toast.   This episode explores the difference between real threats and emotional triggers, and why the nervous system often responds to both in exactly the same way. It examines how past experiences - rejection, unpredictability, loss of control, being unseen - can activate protective responses that feel urgent and physical, even when no present danger exists. Emotional intelligence is reframed as the ability to recognise what the body is responding to, regulate before reacting, and repair when needed.   We look at how emotional memory shapes perception, how modern communication amplifies reactivity, and whylearning to distinguish between threat and trigger is essential for emotional health.   At its core, this episode is about learning when the alarm is signalling danger - and when it’s signalling memory.   Emotional intelligence does not mean tolerating harm - it means responding with clarity rather than reactivity.   To access the tools, click FREE RESOURCES in the link below: https://linktr.ee/TheAnatomyofLifePodcast OR visit the link on my Instagram page: @lexi3gram2.0 Disclaimer:The tools shared in this episode are for emotional awareness,nervous system regulation, and self-reflection only.

    Unearthing the Ground Beneath Our Work with Celia Orsini

    Archaeology is rarely associated with wellbeing, leadership, or modern work culture - yet this conversation reveals why it should be. This episode explores archaeology as a living, embodied practice that shapes identity, regulates the nervous system, and fosters belonging in both individuals and teams.   Joined by Celia Orsini, archaeologist and founder of Archaeology for Well-Being, the discussion moves through heritage as medicine, landscape as a living archive, ancestralloneliness, and the quiet rituals lost in modern workplaces. From displacement and workplace isolation to curiosity, connection, and choice, the episode uncovers how the past lives on - not as history, but as a guide.   This is where heritage meets lived experience, and where belonging is not found, but gently unearthed.   www.archaeology-for-wellbeing.com IG: arch_for_wellbeing   #TheAnatomyOfLife#ArchaeologyForWellbeing #Belonging #NervousSystemHealth #HolisticHealth#HeritageHealing #LandAsMedicine #HealthIsNotATrend
