    Polyvagal Theory

    Episode Summary Why does anxiety linger even when life looks “fine” on paper? Why do some people feel constantly on edge, exhausted, or emotionally shut down despite doing all the right things? In this episode, Dr. Rachel Kigano, DNP and Samwise G. break down polyvagal theory and what it actually explains about anxiety, trauma, and burnout. Drawing primarily from neuroscientist Stephen Porges’ research, this conversation reframes mental health symptoms as nervous system responses — not personal failures. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in fight-or-flight, emotionally numb, or overwhelmed — and wants a more compassionate, body-based understanding of mental health.
