Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode? This episode is a nervous system regulation reset for women who need a soft place to land.

You don’t need to fix your life. You just need somewhere soft to land. 🫶
In this episode of Magic Made, we’re talking about nervous system regulation, what it feels like when life gets “too loud,” and how to create micro-shifts that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

If you’ve been living in survival mode (overwhelmed, hypervigilant, jumpy, procrastinating, exhausted, or feeling like your brain is on blast), this is your reminder that chaos might be common, but it doesn’t have to be your baseline.

You’ll hear how I think about grounding as more than a routine. It’s a relationship with yourself. It’s learning to notice when your internal “volume” is rising, and choosing to regulate before you crash, burn, or start letting things slip through the cracks.

In this episode, we cover:

Why you don’t need a “new year, new you” identity to feel better

What life feeling loud actually looks like (hypervigilance, avoidance, procrastinating simple tasks)

How to spot your dysregulation signs before you hit capacity

The simplest regulation move that changed everything for me (sleep and rest, even when my to-do list screams)

How to create more space without dropping the ball (move meetings, ask for support, loosen unrealistic timelines)

My regulating shower ritual (warmth + dim light + nervous system soothing)

The “bobblehead chicken” visual that might save your sanity 😅

A powerful end-of-episode question: What can you do to prove yourself wrong in 2026?

A gentle challenge:
