About this episode

Laurie Hang discusses the importance of nervous system health and shares practices for sensitive leaders to enhance their wellbeing.

In this episode, Laurie breaks down what the nervous system really is, why caring for it matters, and the three simple daily practices she uses to stay regulated, resilient, and age gracefully. Designed especially for high-functioning eldest or only daughters and sensitive leaders, this conversation cuts through the overwhelm around nervous system regulation and brings it back to the basics—safety, care, movement, and connection. Laurie shares how chronic stress once showed up in her body through digestion and skin issues, and how rebuilding a relationship with her nervous system transformed her health, energy, and quality of life. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the nervous system is (in simple, accessible terms) How chronic stress impacts sleep, digestion, skin, and aging Why doing things with care is deeply regulating How spinal mobility supports nervous system health Why co-regulation and community are essential—not optional How connection, movement, and presence support long-term wellbeing If this episode resonated, Laurie invites you to explore her Soft Power 7-Day Initiation, a gentle entry into nervous system care, self-trust, and embodied leadership.
