About this episode

Craig Harper chats with Jessica Maguire about regulating the nervous system and its impact on our thoughts and feelings.

This time on TYP, I chat with Jessica Maguire - Physiotherapist, Speaker, and best-selling Author of "The Nervous System Reset." We explore what it actually means to "regulate your nervous system", not as a buzzword, but as a practical, trainable skill that shapes how you think, feel, and function. Jessica shares how early experiences - even from the womb — can influence our nervous system wiring, why two people can live through the same event but have completely different internal reactions, and how much of our suffering comes not from what happens... but the story we attach to it. We unpack interoception (your ability to sense what's happening inside your body), neuroplasticity, and how change is not only possible - it's biological. There's also a powerful and deeply human conversation around grief, loss, and trauma, as Jessica shares how personal tragedy reshaped her life and work - and how learning to work with the body, not just the mind, became her path forward. This is a conversation about becoming calm in the chaos... not by controlling the world, but by understanding your nervous system. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
