Stress Cycle Regulation for Leaders & Caretakers with Maria-Victoria Albina

If you could create the "perfect you", what would that look like? What kind of qualities would you have? How would you feel as you carried out daily life? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Maria-Victoria Albina who tells us that above all else, the key to feeling yourself is through nervous system regulation and slowing down!

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. How to keep stress levels in check during times of disruption, panic, or high-stakes situations
2. How to break free from our conditioned responses to stress so we can make decisions that support our short and long-term goals
3. Somatic practices that help you regulate your nervous system and complete the stress cycle

All too often, our sympathetic nervous systems are set off by our daily routines. How can we identify those factors and what can we do to cope? By utilizing breathwork Ms. Albina encourages us that regulating your nervous system is well within reach.
