In this New Year special episode of Regenerative Mindset, Stacy steps out of the interview format and into a candid conversation with her good friend and community leader Rand Rosenberg. Together, they reflect on how to stay present and grounded during a time marked by uncertainty, information overload, and emotional intensity.

The conversation explores how inner practices, particularly meditation and mindful attention, can support nervous system regulation and help reduce reactivity in moments of fear or urgency. Stacy shares how slowing down can be an intentional and active choice, one that allows for more thoughtful engagement with the world rather than impulsive responses driven by overwhelm.

They also discuss the impact of constant exposure to news and social media, and the importance of setting boundaries around what we consume. Rather than advocating disengagement, this episode encourages discernment and care, offering listeners permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what feels meaningful.

This episode is not about solutions or prescriptions. It’s an invitation to meet the present moment with stillness, to care for our inner lives as we navigate external challenges, and to remember that regeneration often begins within.
