A podcast about how to take care of our nervous systems while we navigate systems that were designed to keep us dysregulated. Hosted by Liz Zhou, a neurodivergent therapist of color. If you’re a highly sensitive or neurodivergent person — or have always felt different from others, like you belong nowhere — then I hope this podcast will feel like a “welcome home” for you. Here, we approach difference with curiosity, not judgment. We affirm that there is nothing “wrong” with you, that none of us are broken — but the systems around us are. If you’re curious about individual healing & collective liberation, this podcast is for you. Join us as we heal our nervous systems & take good care of ourselves and each other. You are welcome here.

    Nervous System Regulation: Why Self-Care & Collective Care Matter

    It’s okay if you’re not calm right now. Dysregulation isn’t a bad thing — it’s just information. In this episode, I explain what the nervous system is, what nervous system regulation means, and why the goal isn’t to be 100% regulated all the time, but rather to have a FLEXIBLE nervous system.  I share sensory-soothing strategies (based on sight, sound, smell, touch, & movement) to help you build a flexible nervous system & come back into your window of tolerance. We’ll explore the link between self-care & collective care, and discuss the impact of systems of oppression on nervous system health.

Collective care asks, how do we take care of each other? Systemic change asks, how do we transform systems of oppression into systems of care?” About the Host Liz Zhou is a neurodivergent therapist of color, coach, & speaker based in Colorado (MA, LPC, she/her).
