I’ve TRULY been looking forward to sharing this powerful new video testimonial with you. It comes from Hosannah, a SmartBody SmartMind™ (SBSM) student who joined my 12-week nervous system rewire program after completing the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up course. Hosannah went into SBSM feeling “skeptical but hopeful.” [...]
Welcome to your weekly dose of nervous system love! Today’s share is inspired by another great question from a member of my online community: "Is it possible to be in freeze and fight at the same time/switching back and forth between the two states? (I felt disconnected and [...]
Meet Mitch. Today’s share is all about his story (which echoes the story of so many people). After a nearly 20-year journey of trying to heal from chronic disease and multiple shock traumas, Mitch finally feels like he’s found the metaphorical “needle in a haystack” that he’s been [...]

Today’s share offers a physiological perspective on the impact of traumatic brain injury. In other words: how this kind of shock trauma can affect much more than just the brain, head, and neck, and how – when done with awareness – nervous system and somatic work can help [...]
Today’s share is all about the vagus nerve and how it connects to nervous system regulation. There’s a virtual maelstrom of information and advice about the vagus nerve available online, not to mention devices to stimulate and "tone" this entire nerve, so as to regulate and "heal" it [...]
Today, I’ve got a Marathon Q&A for you. But it’s more than just another Q&A amongst the many (so many!) that I’ve done over the years. I’m sharing this particular Q&A at this particular time for a specific reason (more on that below)... First, a couple quick notes [...]
What is the trouble with trying to heal your trauma before building nervous system capacity? Billy Bob tells it like it is: And I’ll add: I am certain that if I had only had access to what I teach others now... That my long-ass [...]
