Regulate Your Nervous System for Less Anxiety + More Joy

Unlock the secrets of nervous system regulation + change how you move through your day with renowned somatic educator Nahid de Belgeonne. In this episode, Nahid joins K+L for a refreshing conversation about high-achiever anxiety, burnout, and how the body stores stress + emotions. 

Nahid explains the connection between movement, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity, including subtle signs your body may be dysregulated + what to do when stress takes over.

She breaks down why “thinking positive” often falls short + how small shifts can create lasting change. 

You’ll also learn simple, accessible tools—from breathwork to body awareness practices—that help you tune into your subconscious signals, regulate your nervous system, and feel safer, calmer, and more present in your day-to-day life.

We also talk about:

• What nervous system regulation actually means + why it matters  
• Recognizing + realigning patterns of overachieving + perfectionism  
• The powerful link between anxiety, posture, and chronic tension  
• How to unlearn old survival mechanisms + rewire your response to stress  
• The limitations of “self-care” trends + where they go wrong  
• Social media’s impact on our bodies, mental health, and sense of self  
• Why the body, not just the mind, holds the key to healing  
• Parenting, tech, and the “regulated caregiver” in modern times  
• The difference between talk therapy + somatic release—and why both are needed  
• Beginner-friendly movement + breathing practices you can do today to feel better fast
