    Activating Your Vagus Nerve

    If you’re in need of less ‘fight or flight’ and more ‘rest and digest’ this episode is for you. After seeing like 1000 posts about the vagus nerve on social media, my bestie suggested I do an episode on it and I’m so excited to share this with you. (btw, if you have a topic suggestion, let me know! DM me at @theanythingglowspodcast). We chat:  _what it is, what it’s responsible for _why it’s associated with feeling calm _how it explains the why emotions get stored in the body _ways to support it through pranayama, specific asanas (yoga poses), posture and more If you’re in need of some dedicated vagus nerve supporting time, book a 30 minute, virtual mindfulness session with me or purchase a custom meditation made just for you. Be sure to follow along on social @theanythinglgowspodcast and @sageglowstudio. Take care of your mind, body and soul and I’ll see you next time.

    Rest As A Rebellion

    Raise your hand if you’re tired of burnout culture and want to stop apologizing for needing rest.⁣ We’re humans - not robots! - and rest should be a balanced part of our life, not a reward for working ourselves to death. In today’s episode we’re chatting about rest as a rebellion against society’s obsession with stress.⁣ We’ll cover: _why this topic is so important to me _why this topic is so important for women’s wellness and hormones _7 types of rest _a time inventory practice _how to incorporate more rest into your life It might be uncomfortable to allow yourself some rest, but it’s time to be a little rebellious against the glorification of stress in pursuit of sustained and balanced living. If you’re in need of some guided rest, I offer 30 minute, virtual mindfulness sessions or custom meditations. Be sure to follow along on social @theanythinglgowspodcast and @sageglowstudio.
