Ever wonder what’s really going on in your body when you’re stressed?
Join Real Life, Unscripted for a real-life conversation about how stress shows up in the body, why it can sometimes feel difficult to slow down, and simple ways to help yourself pause, reset and find calm.
Guest speaker Stephanie Hanson of SYH Healing will help us better understand the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and what may be happening inside our bodies during stress and recovery.
You’ll also experience a Guided Nervous System Reset: Pause, Breathe & Notice, a simple practice using awareness and gentle paced breathing to explore how small shifts can influence the way you feel in the moment.
