    53 - What Your Triggers Are REALLY Telling You

    In this episode of the Nourished Living Podcast, we're talking about some of the most common emotional triggers I see in myself and with my clients, including getting upset when someone is disappointed in you, struggling when things don't go according to plan, feeling triggered by someone else's success, having a hard time resting, and feeling uncomfortable setting boundaries. For each trigger, we’ll explore where it may have originated, what it could be showing you, and what you can begin working on to loosen its hold on you. Most times your trigger isn't the problem... it's the clue. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why someone else's anger or disappointment can feel so personalThe connection between people pleasing and fear of conflictWhy setting and enforcing boundaries can feel uncomfortableWhat rejection can make you believe about yourselfWhy losing control can activate your nervous systemThe connection between productivity, worth, and restTake My Free Stress Personality Quiz! Not all nervous system regulation tools work the same way for everyone. Your go-to stress response: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, can influence which regulation tools are most supportive for you in the moments when you're stressed, triggered, or overwhelmed. Take my quiz to discover your default stress response and get regulation tools matched to your result. Connect with Courtney:  Have an aha moment while working through one of the journal prompts?

    Have you ever wondered why you feel completely drained, overwhelmed, or anxious even when you feel like you’re doing everything “right”? In this episode of the Nourished Living Podcast, Courtney is joined by Tarynn Johnson, Human Design and Energy Coach, for a fascinating conversation about Human Design, energy, intuition, and nervous system regulation.

We also dive into how Human Design can be used as a tool for understanding your nervous system, recognizing when you may be taking on other people's stress, and reconnecting with your own intuition. Whether you're completely new to Human Design or you've already explored your chart, you'll walk away with practical ways to experiment with your energy and pay closer attention to what your body is telling you.

    51 - Wtf is going on with avocado oil??

    Anybody else wondering what is going on with avocado oil these days? Avocado oil has long been one of my favorite healthy fats for cooking, salad dressings, and snacks because of its versatility and high smoke point. But recent testing has raised questions about whether some popular brands are actually selling products that are 100% avocado oil as advertised. In this episode, Courtney breaks down what she's learned, which brands have come into question, what alternatives you can use, and why this doesn't mean you should be afraid of dietary fat. In this episode, we talk about: Recent concerns surrounding the purity of commercially available avocado oilPopular avocado oil brands that have come under scrutinyAlternative brands that can be trustedOther healthy fat options for cooking, including olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, and grass-fed butterYou don't need to panic or eliminate fat from your diet. Instead, stay curious, read your labels, and make informed choices about the foods you're bringing into your home. Mentioned in this episode Avocado oil in question: Chosen Foods, Primal Kitchen, Kettle Brand, Boulder Canyon, Siete, Briannas, Sir Kensington's,  Avocado Oils to trust:  Marianne's Harvest, Madhava Foods, and Bella Vado. Other cooking fat options: Extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic ghee, and grass-fed butter.

    46 - Become Less Triggered By Life

    In today’s episode, we are diving deep into why nervous system regulation is so important and why it impacts far more than just stress levels. Your nervous system is the lens through which you experience life. It affects how you receive information, the meaning you assign to situations, how emotionally reactive you are, how safe you feel in your body, and ultimately how you respond to your life. We talk about: Why the same situation can feel completely different depending on your nervous system stateHow dysregulation causes us to assign dangerous or catastrophic meaning to neutral situationsWhy your brain begins searching for evidence to confirm stress, fear, rejection, and disappointmentHow your internal state creates your external realityA simple 5-4-3-2-1 orienting exercise you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed or anxiousThis episode is a powerful reminder that healing your nervous system changes the way you experience your entire life. ✨ Wildly Regulated: my group coaching program designed to help you regulate your nervous system, stop living in survival mode, and become the version of you that moves through life feeling calmer, freer, and more intentional. Doors open soon, and we kick things off at the end of June. Join the priority waitlist here!
