About this episode
Dr. Melissa Sonners shares a practical approach to self-care that rewires the nervous system in just two minutes a day.
If you've ever felt like the self-care conversation has become just another "to-do list," this episode is going to change everything. Dr. Melissa Sonners, author of The Connection Code, and a dear friend, walked me through the most practical, science-backed, and genuinely achievable approach to self-care I've ever encountered. Just two minutes, three times a day – and a completely new way of understanding what your brain actually needs. We dig into the five brainwave gears we move through every day, why most of us are stuck in a high-beta state from the moment we wake up until we crash at night, and how to use simple, free tools to give your nervous system the reset it's been craving. If you've ever said "I don't know how to relax," this one is for you.
