📌 In this episode, we explore the journey from stress and burnout to finding balance and joy in our everyday lives. Emily dives deep into how our nervous system works, the balance between the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) states, and how to expand our capacity for both rest and energy.
